PROGRESSION TO MANTRAILING
Mantrailing is one of the fastest growing sports in the UK. Recently, its popularity has increased dramatically, and for good reason; it's an incredible sport that teaches you and your pet to hunt down a missing person.
With your dog’s highly sensitive nose and your future impeccable handling skills, you really will make the perfect team, and just imagine how useful such skills could be! Training your dog to follow a specific person's scent and locate them at the end of the trail, to earn their reward, is not only great fun for your dog but will be incredibly rewarding for you too. Our instructors are qualified through Mantrailing UK, ensuring we follow the very best training methods and processes. Simply get in touch with the team to learn more!
