ALL DOGS

Puppies can also benefit as it’s a great way to meet people calmly.
Reactive dogs are welcome to join as the dogs are worked on lead at all times, and one dog is out at a time.
How does mantrailing and pettrailing work?
Mantrailing is a dog sport where a dog uses its nose to locate a hidden person, or dog following their scent. The hidden person or dog leaves behind a scent article they have worn or touched. They then leave a trail of scent behind them, which the dogs are taught to follow. Every person and dog has a unique scent, and mantrailing/pettrailing dogs follow this unique scent to get a reward at the end.
Dogs are as individual as humans and respond to the world around them in different ways, we understand it’s not one size fits all. Our teaching style allows us to adapt our training to best suit the needs of you and your dog this means anybody can enjoy the sport that so many love and ensure you and your dog get the most out of your session.
Dogs will be worked separately so please be prepared that you will not be actively training for 2 hours, there will be some sitting around in cars and very importantly hiding for the other dogs there will always be somebody with the vehicles.
