Welcome to Mantrailing Lancashire

We are a fully qualified Mantrailing Global instructor, covering Blackpool and the Fylde Coast, East and Central Lancashire, including Preston and Blackburn.

What is Mantrailing?

Mantrailing is one of the newer Dog Sports and it's all about You and your Dog working as a team to track down the "Missing person", a little like Hide and Seek!

Not only is it great enrichment for your dog but there is a huge social side to it too! Making it perfect for meeting new people and making long lasting friends!

This is a low impact sport, which unlike some other Dog sports means there is less pressure and stress on your dogs joints. As well as providing physical exercise, Mantrailing also engages your dogs brain and makes them use their nose, giving them an intense mental workout! 

All dogs can naturally follow a scent, we just tailor that amazing skill to finding people. 

So if you can't get your dog's nose off the floor, or want to make use if their ability to sniff things out, then this is the PERFECT sport!

It is an all inclusive activity, open to any breed, age and physical ability.

It's also perfect for reactive dogs!

If your dog can be nervous around new people or isn't that great with other dogs, they are welcome to join us on most of our sessions too! It's a great way to introduce them to new environments and people in a controlled setting!

These are group sessions, with only one dog out working at a time, so that everyone has the opportunity to hide, spectate and work their dog.

You are always under full supervision from a fully qualified Mantrailing Instructor. 

You don't need expensive equipment to participate either! All you need is a harness that does not restrict your dogs movement, a long line, two small plastic pots with lids, your dogs favourite food and your dog!

Your dog must be comfortable being left in your vehicle between trails and you are welcome to bring someone with you to keep them company between turns.

We regularly hold Introduction and Progression sessions.

Throughout the year we offer a variety of workshops and special events, so if you dont want to miss out, make sure you follow our Facebook page!
