Mantrailing engages your dog's incredible olfactory senses, giving them an intense mental workout.
What is Mantrailing?
Mantrailing is a sport where dogs find people by following their unique scent trail. The dogs are trained to follow a person’s scent, even if they have been in an area where other strong smells are present. Starting at the person’s last known location and follows their scent until they find them.
One of the many amazing things about this sport is it is fully accessible to all people and dogs (suitable for dogs from 6 months old). Dogs are on lead through the workshop as they need to take the handler to the missing person.

Mantrailing Club
This is for dog owners that enjoy Mantrailing and would like to carry on improving their dog skills. Each month we meet twice, in different locations.
All members will be added into a WhatsApp group. Feel free to meet up together and practise. The chat is the to socialise and train dogs together. At the start of the month I will put up dates we will be meeting up on to give everyone an opportunity to book onto 1 or 2 training sessions. If you would like to attend more then 2 that is possible, however that will be at an extra cost.
We will be taking turns to hide for each other dogs, as I will also be running my own dogs. At times I might have clients dogs that I am training. I am a member of the club just like you all
The sessions will be anywhere from 1 - 2 hours, depending on the amount of dogs attending and their skillset. Locations will vary across Bristol, as the dog skills improve. We will be doing store searches, car searches, shopping centres and so on once the dogs are ready. Of course woodland and park searches too.
If there is another interest we can also plan trips outside of Bristol.
Cost
Monthly membership is £20.
I will send over a link which will roll monthly until you cancel it. There is no commitment.
This includes 2 mantrailing sessions and being apart of WhatsApp support in which you can arrange to meet up in your spare time outside of the sessions I set up. In the group you can post videos of your training sessions which I am happy to review and give you feedback on.
If you would like to attend more then 2 sessions in a month you are more then welcome, there is an extra cost £5 per session.
If you have multiple dogs it is £20 per dog, as they will be taking another spot in the session.
Can I join?
Yes, everyone is welcome. All breeds, dogs from 6 months up and reactive dogs are welcome! Handlers must be 18 years old, and always one handler per dog.
No previous experience needed, I will be working with each dog at their current level.
Goal of this club
Training dog at a high level, so they can search and find ‘missing’ dog and people in any environment. Who knows your dog might be able to find another dog if it goes missing.
For me I really want to create a group of people that enjoy training their dogs together.
Please note I am just starting this club as of January 2025, we will start once a few people have signed up.
