Learn Mantrailing With Trailing K9s

Mantrailing is a fun and exciting way to get your dog some exercise and mental stimulation. It’s also a great way to bond with your furry friend.

In mantrailing, your dog follows a specific human scent trail. The trail can be laid by anyone, and it can be indoors or outdoors. The goal is for your dog to find the person who laid the trail.

Mantrailing is a great way to keep your dog mentally and physically active. It’s also a great way to teach them new skills. And, of course, it’s a lot of fun!

The benefits of mantrailing:

  • Exercise for both you and your dog.
  • Challenging activity that will keep your dog entertained.
  • Bond with your dog and build their confidence.
  • Teach your dog new skills and have some fun.

What is Mantrailing?

Mantrailing teaches dogs to use their noses to find people for fun. Using their superior senses of smell, we teach dogs to find people hidden as a sport, similar to search and rescue.

Every person has an individual scent made up of skin rafts, bacteria, pheromones and a cocktail of the scents they wear. This unique scent combination means dogs can use their noses to find a person even when they are hidden.

Whether your dog is little or large, active or sedate, young or old, trained or not, they can join us – mantrailing is a sport for all!

What my customers have to say

There is nothing that Kathryn doesn’t know

I would trail with Kathryn every day if I could (my job gets in the way!). The dogs love it and I always have fun whilst learning. Do something for you and your dog and book a session. I guarantee you won’t regret it but you might become addicted like me! Thank you Kathryn for all your help and support. (I know I’m more hard work than the dogs!)

I highly recommend this sport for both human and dog enjoyment

We found Kathryn to not only be a fantastic advocate for the sport, but also an enthusiastic trainer, with a wealth of knowledge and experience across many breeds and behaviours.

We did our first ever Mantrailing intro course at Kathryn’s farm and were instantly hooked

Mantrailing is not only great fun for both dog and owner but it is so beneficial. Noddy (and a couple of my other dogs) love trailing and it has really taught Noddy, a working type Terrier, to use his nose to its full potential, rather than just using his eyes. It’s a great way to channel his drive and he loves having a job to do.

We took up Mantrailing as a hobby, but, thanks to Kathryn, we are now officially addicts

I love watching my dog use her nose while learning about scent theory which allows me to get my geek on, but – most importantly – we have a lot of fun doing it! It can be quite full on trying to handle your dog and listen at the same time, but Kathryn gives really clear and concise instructions which is super helpful. Thank you, Kathryn, for all your support and feedback. We cannot wait for our next session!

My dogs and I have had some amazing days out with Kathryn from Trailing K9s

Kathryn does her work based on the abilities of the dog and handler (from total novice upwards) to help you gain confidence and enjoy the sport. She works to not only help you improve but also have fun in the process!
