Man Trailing

Man Trailing is a really fun sport that is great for any age, breed, or size of dog to try!

We teach the dog to target a specific scent article that someone dropped, and then use that scent to go search for them. Every dog knows how to use their nose already, and this is a low stress and low impact way of fulfilling their need to hunt, search and sniff!

You and your pup can participate in the sport for fun or you can win really cool patches to show off!

Getting Started:

If you are interested in starting you and your pup in the sport, first you need to join an introduction class! This will teach you important foundations and safety rules to help you be successful. Once you've completed an introduction class you can man trail with any dog without ever needing to take the class again

Upcoming Introduction Classes:

🐾 TBD, coming soon!

If you've already taken the course:

Now that you have completed an Introduction Class, you are ready to start trailing! You may be asked (or encouraged) to trail lay for another team. This is also a great way to learn more about the sport too.
