Over the last year there has been huge changes to my business and Borders Mantrailing & Scent Training no longer reflects what I offer so after many months I am pleased to announce that going forward I will be known as KMK9!
Below is a quick bullet point of the upcoming changes and how this might effect you, underneath these is a bit more in depth reasons behind the changes if you wish to understand a bit more about why.
It’s just a name change - still the same business
Still offering Mantrailing, Scent Detection, Tracking/Trailing and general training
Facebook/Instagram name will change
There will be a new website (will be live at some point this week), you can still use the previous URL however
New email address, this will come into effect this week however again you can still use the bordersscent@gmail.com and it’ll still through to me.
Any sessions/workshop already booked? Nothing has changed, just my business name.
All the 'big' changes should happen this week!
Of course, these is going to be a transition period and there might be the odd hiccup so please bear with me…
If you have any questions about anything do just drop me a email/message.
More in depth:
So let’s get into a bit more detail about why I am rebranding…
I’ve been Borders Mantrailing & Scent Training for the last four years and mostly been specialised in these two sports for these last four years, however as with most things, things change and grow and I no longer feel that this business name reflects me going forward.
The last year has been a real challenge for me as a business and without boring you with the details a couple of the ‘big’ changes has been:
Leaving the rescue centre and going full-time with my business
Stepping down as a Head instructor from Mantrailing Global/UK
Rediscovering my love for general training
This change hasn’t been an easy decision as most people reading this will know me as the Mantrailing or Scent person however there is so much more I have to offer.
Having spent over ten years working in a rescue centre it was time for me to leave and focus 100% on my own business and clients. This was a hard decision as rescue dogs is why I am here, owning rescue dogs for over 15 years with all sorts of behavioural ‘problems’ lead me down the path to get me to where I am now.
I’ve been working professionally with pet dogs for over a decade I’ve ran hundreds if not thousands of training classes, workshops and worked with hundreds of dogs with behavioural issues (in particular dog on dog reactivity). Over the last year I’ve been slowly moving back to these and rediscovered my love for general training and this is why now is the time for change.
When I came out my training centre back in 2020 I felt I had failed and needed to change and that is when I focused on Mantrailing and Scent Detection training only, but as I have learnt it wasn’t a failure and the break from general training has made me more hungry for knowledge and training methods and now brining them back to the Borders area.
Ultimately this change has been needed to future proof my business and allows me to move forward and continue to offer the best training I can to all my clients.
Something I have learnt in this world is you cannot stand still or you get left behind…
I have lots of amazing workshops/sessions in the pipework and cannot wait to share them with you all.
So, as of today (Monday 2nd of September 2024), I’ll officially be known as KMK9!
