Mantrailing in Manchester & Salford
The Ultimate Hide & Seek Game for You and Your Dog​
​
Turn your dog’s nose into their superpower!
Mantrailing is a fun dog sport where you and your dog work as a team to track down a hidden person. It taps into your dog’s natural sniffing instincts, giving them mental stimulation, physical exercise, and the ultimate confidence boost — all while strengthening your bond.
Why Try Mantrailing?
-
It’s fun – dogs love it, owners love it.
-
Brain power – 15 minutes of nose work = an hour’s walk.
-
Problem solving – encourages independence and thinking skills.
-
Confidence building – especially for nervous or shy dogs.
-
Bonding time – strengthens your connection.
-
Community – meet like-minded dog owners.
-
Every dog welcome – any breed, age, temperament, or ability.
If your dog has been excluded from other classes because they’re reactive, excitable, anxious, or shy — Mantrailing is for you!
A Safe Space for All Dogs
Many sports and classes say “not suitable” — but not here.
I specialise in working with dogs who struggle in traditional settings.
- Reactive dogs
- Barky, excitable dogs
- Nervous or anxious dogs
- Shy or unsure dogs
You’ll find a safe, supportive environment where your dog can thrive — and where you’ll feel supported too.
