What's Mantrailing?
Mantrailing involves training your dog to locate a specific person using their unique scent. This is achieved solely through positive reinforcement methods, encouraging dogs to use their sense of smell enjoyably.
As dogs have a highly developed sense of smell, this fun activity allows you to work together to locate the "missing person."
Great Option for:
-
Dogs lacking confidence
-
Newly adopted dogs
-
Eliminating boredom
-
Human-shy dogs
Mantrailing requires problem-solving skills from dogs, but no prior training is necessary for them to excel.
Unlike Tracking dogs, Mantrailing dogs have even more choices when using their noses: they can follow the scent on the ground or in the air.
