mantrailing

Mantrailing is the fastest growing sport in the UK, involving dogs using their nose to follow a particular person’s scent and track them down. It is one of very few dog sports in which our dogs make the decisions and take charge (despite what some agility dogs think…) and it is incredibly empowering and confidence boosting for them. Unlike other sports you can very easily dip in and out of mantrailing, meaning you can pick up slots whenever you want without having to commit to a weekly or even monthly training session!

During mantrailing sessions only one dog works at once, with the others stationed safely in their vehicles, so it’s perfect for dogs who need space! Trails can easily be adapted for younger or older dogs or anyone else who may need less of a challenging route; it’s a lovely accessible sport.

We hold guest sessions and extra special training days throughout the year, in addition to our regular training sessions.

Our regular sessions are led by instructor Sophie Smith, qualified via Mantrailing Global.

what & where

You will need a well fitting, nonrestrictive harness (so no anti pull harnesses or harnesses with material in a bar across the chest), a long line, VERY high value rewards for your dog, and two small pocket size tubs for rewards to go into.

We train from a variety of locations around Burnley & Pendle, utilising both rural and urban spaces.
