Nothing like a little JRT to keep me humble with retrieves. He was literally running laps around me 😅 How is everyone going with Scent Adventures? 👀

I thought we would kick off with an unscented retrieve practice. I'm trying a bit more of a formal retrieve with Coady, and a very relaxed just bring it back with Lexie ☺️

Our scentwork challenge for the month kicks off tomorrow! Make sure you have your target scent ready. Don’t worry if you haven’t had a chance to go shopping. Both chamomile or decaf green tea bags work well to get your started ☺️ What scent have you chosen? Let us know in comments

This September we will work through the SAT course all together. Think more active style searches that are inspired by Mantrailing, Search and Retrieve and Tracking. In the end you will have a chance to submit your trails for some flashy cool badges 🤩 The full course is available for premium members, but I have attached the equipment list to get you started. Who’s in? 👀

Friday was a training day - conditioning am, see videos for how we are getting on. He is so active and you can see him thinking I want him to keep standing or get on the planks. I think this tells me I should do the exercises seperately instead of one after the other? It's been a lot harder with him to get basics than my other dogs, he is a busy bee. Went to visit his breeder and he played with his sister and had to be interrupted for taking it too far and then we did retrieves where he did massive keep aways that I never see in my training. 🤣🤣 Keeping me humble and slighy embarrassed 😳 Then we went to the city to MOT my car which it failed so since then it's car borrowing, scrapping the old one, shopping for another one and generally feeling slightly sick because i need a car and im not a financially sucessful person. Lyon is firmly down the priority list until this is sorted. He spent time with my mum which was lovely for them, I must make a point of leaving him with mum more regularly, I just worry that he can be a pain but she is perfectly capable of managing him and she wants to.
