What is Mantrailing?
Mantrailing is a scent-based Dog sport, training dogs to find people by following their unique scent trail…. Did you know that as we walk and go about our day to day lives, about 40,000 to 50,000 scent particles fall off us per minute?!
All dogs have a natural ability to hunt and, therefore, Mantrailing provides them with an outlet to do this in a safe, controlled and constructive way. Their nose really dominates their sensory world and focuses a large part of their brain on the task, blocking out other distractions. Simply put, a dog can’t be unhappy and nervous when sniffing. Their brains are biologically wired to be happy when sniffing and switch off the stress!
Mantrailing sessions are generally held on the weekends in and around the Darlington area.
Confidence Building
It’s a great sport to build confidence and focus with any dog as it gives them an outlet and a job to perform. So release your dog’s inner bloodhound and come and give this amazing sport a go!
Enjoyment for All
We teach dogs how to harness that amazing sense of smell and turn it into a fun activity for you to do together as a sport.
For All Ages & Abilities
Fully accessible to all people and dogs, regardless of age, breed or disability. Dogs are always worked one at a time and we train in both public and private venues.
