Mantrailing – a fascinating and effective training method for dogs

Mantrailing is a training method where dogs are taught to follow the scent trail of a specific human. This can be used for both entertainment and professional work, such as locating missing persons.

• Mental stimulation: Mantrailing provides the dog with a mentally challenging task.
• Physical exercise: The activity keeps the dog in good physical shape.
• Strengthens the bond: The training enhances the relationship between dog and owner.

Mantrailing involves having the dog sniff a scent source, such as an article of clothing, and then follow the trail to find the person. Training often starts with short, simple trails and progresses to longer, more complex challenges.

• Find a course: Many dog clubs offer mantrailing courses.
• Equipment: Basic equipment includes a harness and a long tracking line.
• Practice: Consistent training and positive reinforcement are key to success.
