We started trailing training with Becky Easter 2022 after a recommendation from an behaviourist we had consulted with. Buddy our rescue GSD was reactive to other dogs and was always on the lookout for dogs and any creatures that ran !
We attended our first trail and Buddy loved it, I was dumbstruck by how he took to it.
He learned very quickly to use his nose and not his eyes to find lost (hidden) people and loves his reward at the end of the trails.
It is totally addictive and we go to as many training sessions as we can fit in, average 1 a month.
Buddy has got better & better at trailing for people & dogs – with no reactivity because he now has a job to do and he concentrates on that, walking past others with out any problem. Becky is a great trainer, very patient and helpful. I can not recommend trailing highly enough, you get to meet like minded people who respect your dogs boundary’s. Its fun and incredibly rewarding. Can not wait to be out trailing & hiding in obscure places soon 🙂
