What My Clients Say
“My vet had recommended Ciara for puppy classes and being a 1st time dog owner I learnt so much with her. I since took on more of her workshops like tracking and mantrailing and will keep it up. I really like her approach to the importance of sniffing and scenting for dogs she knows and shares so much and it definitely helps create a bond with your pup and keeping them happy…. and the owner too “
Valerie
“I can’t recommend Ciara enough. Enrolling my rescue JRT to the mantrailing course was the best thing that could happen to my dog. Having a “job” to follow scents and to find people is something that my dog enjoys the most. He is a much calmer dog compared to how he was before we started the training. It also helped a lot with his leash reactivity and we have been building a stronger bond. Big thank you from me and Rodger”

Meet Your Trainer
Hi my name is Ciara and am based in Hollymount, Co Mayo. I use reward based training methods which are backed by science and I will never use force, fear or intimidation when training your dog. I provide puppy and obedience classes as well as 1:1 training and workshops. However my passion is scentwork and I have undertaken lots of study in this area includng a 6 month Teaching Scentwork mentorship and a Search Dog Handler Diploma. I am qualified as an Instructor for a range of scentwork disciplines including Mantrailing, Tracking, Scent Detection and Open Search. I was the first qualified Mantrailing Instructor in Mayo and in Connacht, introducing it here in 2022.
