Have you heard of Mantrailing before?

Do you think it is only for really sporty dogs and super fit owners?

So here is the truth behind Mantrailing:

It is an exciting new trailing sport where your dog learns to track
missing/hidden people based on their unique smell!

Any dog can do this, from small to massive, from young to old, and any breed
too!

Even reactive dogs, as we only work one dog at a time and specifically
choose the person they are finding to match the dogs personality, it can help
improve their confidence immensely.

But I’m not fit enough to do that! We match the length and type of trail to
meet your requirements. Trust me I’m no athlete!

My dog has rubbish recall! No worries all dogs are worked on leads so they
are under control at all times.

We teach you to work as a team with your dog and help you understand body
language and how dogs see our world.

Once you have the basics you can progress through
more exciting trails in differing environments, and join in with competitions
and fun days or for the more competitive work towards  your level 1 certificate!

When it is not your turn to trail you have the
opportunity to watch other teams at work which is extremely beneficial for
progressing on your journey and understanding of dogs track scent, and the
effects of the environment on the trail, after all you are learning too.
it is low impact and highly addictive sport that requires concentration from
the dog and therefore really helps build focus and can give nervous dogs the
chance to build some real self confidence!

So come join us on this highly addictive adventure! Start soon and you may have
time to join in the Halloween ghost hunt!!
