Good News! This is Teddy the #Burnese Mountain Dog - his family have been frantic with worry after he ran off four days ago (spooked by fireworks). He's been found safe and well in a disused swimming pool on the #Cornwall / #Devon border

TRAILING DOG TEAM FIND!! Last night we were called out for a dog missing from his home. Trailing dogs Maisy and Lexi attended with their handlers.
We located Monty scared, cold and with a cut to his tummy. We wish Monty a speedy recovery and glad he's back home with his family.

Time for a little catch up - working with Mantrailing Scent Dogs, accredited training for theory and practical assessments.

Here Dog Handler John and Trailing Dog Tegann receive their certification. Regular assessments are an important part of what we do.

16/12 - 2 dogs missing on 14/12 SD's Holly and Lexi found the warren they were stuck in and dug out with help from @BodminCFRS Dogs OK!
SD Maisy was working in Wadebridge. Her trail matched sightings. Working with @DogLostCornwall we are on standby and hope Millie is home soon.

Our dogs love what they do and they love getting their favourite reward at the end of it.

Whether it is a special toy, favourite treats, a particular type of cheese... each dog is individual and we reward with what works for them.

Post a pic with what motivates your dog!

Today we introduce Lexi

Lexi has been trailing for nearly 3 years and being a lab loves the food that comes with a successful trail!

She loves to run around with her ball, swim in rivers and finds the best mud baths for a lovely cool down while encouraging others to join her!

Today we introduce Ella.

Ella started her search training as an air scenting dog. In 2013 changed to mantrailing. Travelling across Europe for mantrailing, seeing the sights and making friends.

Very sadly Ella died in July 2020 and her inspiration lives on in our logo

Today we are going to introduce Holly.

Holly is a 3 year old springer spaniel. She loves to swim with Tracy which together with mantrailing she has been doing since she was 6 months old.

She loves to play and is a sucker for a tummy rub.

Meet Tegann - nearly 3 and a Celtic spaniel, born and raised in Cornwall with an appetite to take life at Mach 2 and hoping dad can keep up!

She loves food and her bezzie mate is Lexi and after training together they embark on exciting canine capers which usually involve mud...
