Mantrailing fun

A days event at Thunder Park. Both the dogs had a chance to mantrail.
We had fun dressing up in camouflage and hiding in the extensive grounds of the local Airsoft arena.
We used novel items as scent articles (plastic grenade, toy gun) the dogs take the scent from these articles that we just hold for a while.
Because of the nature of the terrain our trainer sent us out with a walkie talkies so we could report back when we were hidden. So basically we were doing what they call a "double blind" where neither myself or the trainer actually know where the trail layer is.
Keely was slow thoughtful double checking and making trailing relatively easy for me to read her, Dina was fast and surprisingly accurate and exciting. They are both so different and great fun.
