5 Reasons to Try Mantrailing with TF Canine Academy

1. Mental & physical stimulation
Mantrailing gives your dog an outlet for their natural instincts – ideal for high-energy or working breeds who thrive on having a job to do.

2. Confidence building
Whether your dog is nervous, reactive or just starting out, mantrailing helps build focus, resilience, and trust in real-world settings.

3. Fun for both of you
It’s a fantastic way to bond with your dog and also enjoy time with like-minded people who share your passion for dogs and training.

4. Real-life, varied locations
We visit a new location each month – from peaceful nature reserves to busy public spaces. Think swans, cygnets, ducks… even motorbikes! It keeps the dogs thinking and progressing.

5. Perfect time to start
Our August dates are now live, and we’ve just added a brand new introductory session – ideal for beginners. But with only 4 spots available, you’ll need to be quick!

Hello everyone, I’m Tom!

For those who don’t know me, I’ve been working with dogs for about 9 years now. Some of you might recognize me from my time running Mutz N Strutz commercial dog daycare or from my work with Bridgend Search Dog through mantrailing. Now, I’m excited to announce that everything is coming together under a brand-new name:

TF Canine Academy 🐾

Our focus is shifting more towards training, and I couldn’t be more excited to share what we have planned!

Here’s what we’re offering:

✨ 1-2-1 Support: General obedience, mild reactivity, and tailored support for your dog’s needs.

✨ Group Classes: Puppy classes, basic obedience, sport classes, and mantrailing.

📞 15-minute discovery calls coming soon – let’s chat about how we can help you and your dog!

Looking forward to chatting with you all soon!
