Mantrailing
Training dogs to find people!
Mantrailing is where our dogs use their nose to find a specific person. It is performed professionally in search & rescue teams, the police & the military but has taken off as a fun dog activity with pet dogs as a way to enrich their lives.
All dogs have a natural nose ability & the ability to trail, we tap into this skill & teach our dogs that following the trail of a specific person is a super fun game.
