Wye Trail Retreat
12 & 13 September 2026
This is our only weekend trail retreat this year.
Run by our co-founders Rachel Rodgers and Marilyn Gilchrist, this is a rare opportunity to train, explore, and connect in one of the UK’s most beautiful trailing environments.
🐾 What to expect
Over two immersive days, we’ll go far beyond your regular training sessions:
- A variety of trails to challenge your timing and interpretation skills
- Rolling trails to sharpen decision-making and handler confidence
- Double blind scenarios to build independence and trust in your dog
- Fun, skill-building trailing games and exercises
- Time to socialise, connect, and learn from others in the community
- A relaxed, supportive atmosphere in a truly stunning landscape
This is not just training — it’s an experience.
You’ll work with dogs and people you may have never met before, building real-world adaptability while forming new friendships along the way.
