Mantrailing
Mantrailing teaches you and your dog how to use their incredible nose power to find a hiding person by picking up their scent and following the trail they left behind.
It is a low impact sport that not only provides a physical outlet but also activates your dog’s olfactory senses for an intense mental workout too. People are always amazed how relaxed and clam their dogs are after they have trailed.
All dogs are welcome, young or old, high energy jack in a boxes or cool cucumbers, reactive or nervous and this is because all dogs are worked one at a time and every trail can be tailored to you and your dog.
The Benefits
Fun and social sport where you can meet likeminded people
Build a great relationship with your dog

Give your dog a job by harnessing their natural instincts
Low impact meaning less pressure and impact on your dog’s joints

A physical and mental workout in one
Get competitive by completing optional trailing assessments
How It Works
Getting Started
If you have never trailed before you will need to book onto an introduction space. Introduction spaces are available on most weekend progression dates listed on the booking page.
Alternatively, there may be an Introduction workshop available.
Progression
Once you have had an introduction you can book onto any progression session as and when. There isn’t a particular course or set number of times to trail, you can progress at whatever pace suits you.
Progression sessions are held at different locations in and around Shrewsbury.
Review
“We attended Dee’s introduction to mantrailing course with our lab and GSD.
We had a great day and the dogs thoroughly enjoyed it, both were happily tired after. Dee was a great instructor and is obviously very passionate about what she does, very encouraging and patient.
We learnt a lot. She was also very understanding about our reactive GSD and made all the necessary adjustments for him to be able to enjoy it stress free.
Thank you Dee.
Highly recommend for any breeds/age.“
