Our next Track and Trail Workshop will be held on Sunday 9 February 9am - 11am at our private venue in Banstead, Surrey.
This hands-on introduction to mantrailing will ignite your dog’s natural instincts and strengthen the bond between you both.
Mantrailing is the fascinating activity of training your dog to follow the unique scent trail of a person. Rooted in real-world search-and-rescue techniques, mantrailing harnesses your dog’s incredible sense of smell to locate a "missing person" in a controlled and fun environment. It’s a skill every dog can enjoy, regardless of breed, size, or age.
In our Track and Trail workshop, you and your dog will learn the basics of this enriching activity, including:
Recognizing and following scent trails.
Building confidence in your dog’s natural abilities.
Strengthening communication between handler and dog.
Mantrailing isn’t just for working dogs—it’s a fun and rewarding activity for any pet owner looking to add excitement to their dog’s routine.
This workshop offers benefits beyond just fun. Here’s what you and your dog will gain:
1. Mental and Physical Stimulation
Mantrailing engages your dog’s mind and body, making it a perfect outlet for high-energy or working breeds. It taps into their natural instincts, providing the mental exercise dogs crave.
2. Boosted Confidence
Dogs gain a sense of accomplishment as they successfully follow scent trails, especially shy or nervous dogs. Building confidence in a low-pressure, rewarding environment can positively impact their overall behavior.
3. Stronger Bond
Mantrailing requires teamwork. As you guide your dog through this exciting activity, your communication and trust will deepen, leading to a closer relationship.
4. Stress Relief
Both you and your dog will enjoy the therapeutic benefits of being outdoors and focusing on a single goal. Mantrailing is a wonderful way to reduce stress and enjoy quality time together.
5. Inclusivity and Accessibility
Mantrailing is suitable for all dogs, regardless of age, breed, or physical ability. It’s a low-impact activity that adjusts to your dog's fitness level, making it perfect for puppies, seniors, and everyone in between.
