Mantrailing For Pet Dogs
Every person has an individual scent, which is as unique as a human finger print.

Mantrailing is a great way to get involved in a fun, social activity and spend quality time adventuring outdoors with your four-legged friend.

We're proud to be a UK Scent Sport Instructor and Assessor.As well as mantrailing we offer three different types of scent detection activities for dogs to participate in.
There is searching for Kong, where dogs search for and identify the source in different scenarios. Retrieve on catnip, where they locate and retrieve a hidden catnip-scented item and bring it back to their handler. As well as Scent Matching, which involves matching scents in specific objects.
