🐾 Mantrailing Fun! 🐾
We love seeing our amazing clients (and their equally amazing dogs!) getting involved in activities that keep both minds and bodies active - like mantrailing! 🐶👃
📸Check out some of our team and clients enjoying some brilliant days out learning and practising this fantastic sport, following scent trails and celebrating those “found it!” moments 😍
✨ Why we love mantrailing:
It provides wonderful mental enrichment for dogs of all ages.
It’s a low-impact activity, perfect for dogs who need something gentler on their joints.
It’s a great bonding experience that strengthens your teamwork.
It gives dogs a natural outlet for their instincts and energy - in a safe, fun way!
It is great confidence building exercise for your dog.
A big thank you to Taff Trailers and Discovery Dogs Swansea for running such enjoyable, educational sessions. 🐾
Does your dog take part in mantrailing or another fun, enriching activity? We’d love to hear about it in the comments! 💬👇

🌟Milo is Pet of the Month! 🌟
Favourite activities: Milo loves car trips, beach walks and exploring country parks. Each season brings new scents to discover, and he takes his time sniffing along woodland trails. 🐕
Favourite toy: His small soft squeaky monkey 🐒 gets the most attention, though any squeaky toy (it must squeak! 😆) will do when Monkey’s in the wash.
Favourite treat: As a true Labrador, he’ll eat almost anything, but fish knots 🐟 and bits of banana 🍌 (often hiding a tablet 🤫) are his favourites.
Special talent: Knowing the time ⏰. Milo has an impressively accurate body clock and often becomes vocal right on the hour for dinner. As he now needs tablets throughout the day (in banana or mackerel), he also reminds us at midday and 3 p.m. 😆
Owners report: Milo has always been a loyal, gentle companion who loves playing at home, car rides, countryside and beach walks, and relaxing in a sunny garden. Being food-focused made early training fun and rewarding, building a strong bond with our family. He loves snoozing on the sofa between meals and outings, recharging for more fun. Now nearly 14, he faces some health issues but takes each day in his stride, accepting short, slow walks with quiet determination. He’s still a happy dog who reminds us to appreciate each day and adapt to change.
In August 2024 Milo began struggling with his back legs, finding stairs difficult and sometimes losing balance. Medication helped a little, and in October he was referred to the SMART Clinic. Under the care of Mel, Rosie and the team, he improved through acupuncture, massage, hydrotherapy, laser therapy, pain management, and gentle exercises such as slow walking, pole stepping and square standing.
A year on, we’re so grateful for the care he receives. Though some days are tough, regular treatment means far more good days than bad. He’s done so well that we recently enjoyed a holiday in Cornwall - walking on beaches, paddling in the shallows and taking in all the new scents. He did brilliantly and loved every minute!
Well done Milo and his very dedicated family 👏💙
