WHAT IS IT
​
Mantrailing is teaching your dog to find a specific human scent.
Using their amazing sense of smell we train them to follow a trail to a missing person
HOW OLD MUST MY DOG BE?

As long as your puppy is vaccinated you can bring them Mantrailing.
This is a low impact sport so its fantastic for old dogs as well as young dogs

We take all dogs, shy, reactive, loud, boisterous.
Dogs work one at a time and are always on a lead, other dogs in the group wait in their vehicles

All dogs work on a long line for Mantrailing so no need to worry that your dog will run off after something exciting.

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU COME MANTRAILING
Each Mantrailing session is usually 3 hours long, we have a maximum of 6 dogs per session
Each dog will do 3 trails. Handlers take turns to hide for each other, you will always handle your own dog. Your dog will wait in your vehicle until it is your turn to find the missing person. Very quickly your dog will progress from the Mantrailing For Beginners session to being a confident and brilliant Mantrailing dog.
In the Beginners session we teach your dog all about the game, you will discover how it works for both ends of the lead and the way your dog likes to be rewarded for his amazing sniffing skills.
I am always with you whilst your dog is trailing so I can help you and your dog to feel calm and relaxed to ensure that the trail is successful. We don't have any missing people still missing 😂.
Once you have completed the Mantrailing For Beginners Session you and your dog can trail with any Mantrailing UK Instructor. There are progression booklets to fill in to keep tabs on your skills as well as badges you can earn to display with pride. You can even take assessments and work through the 3 levels of Mantrailing.
Mantrailing is a very sociable activity, you will meet new friends and their amazing dogs, you will discover parts of the countryside and towns you never knew, your dog will learn to take new situations and people in their stride and will be exhausted after a session of Mantrailing.
