What?

Nose work covers all activities with focus on scent detection. Searching for and following specific odors with the nose is an excellent and meaningful entertainment strategy for dogs of all ages and breeds. Nose work can strengthen a dog's self-confidence as well as the relationship between owner and dog.

Mantrailing is defined as searching for and tracking down a particular person based on the individual scent. A trail usually starts with the presentation of a scent article. Trailing is an amazing mental and physical excercise for dogs and does not require any obedience skills or orientation towards the dog handler. Particularly "difficult" dogs can benefit from working independently on a long leash as leisure activity.

How?

Every handler-dog team works individually and tailored to the personal capabilities and experience. Once the dog understands the principle of mantrailing, the training will focus on generalising and continuously improving the performance. As dog handler, you will learn a lot about your dog's body language and how to react appropriately.

For whom?

Almost every dog is "qualified" for mantrailing and can accomplish more mental and physical wellbeing. Especially for insecure or reactive dogs, mantrailing can have a valuable and significant impact on life quality.
