Ready to Trail!

Welcome To the Addictive World of Mantrailing!

Follow your dog’s nose. Build trust, confidence, and connection.

Mantrailing is one of the most joyful, confidence-building activities you can offer any dog.
Whether you have a confident tracker, a worried rescue, a reactive dog, or a pup who needs a job, Mantrailing turns your dog’s natural instincts into a fulfilling, team-building adventure.

WHAT IS MANTRAILING?

Mantrailing is a scent-based activity where your dog follows a specific human scent to find a hidden “runner” (the person your dog is searching for).

No pressure. No competition.
Just pure instinct, confidence, and fun.


Dogs LOVE Mantrailing because:

  • Scentwork is calming and mentally exhausting (in the best way)
  • It gives nervous or reactive dogs a safe job
  • It builds problem-solving and focus
  • It boosts confidence and resilience
  • It strengthens trust between dog and human
  • It provides a healthy outlet for high-drive or easily stressed dogs


Mantrailing is for all dogs — puppies, seniors, reactive dogs, fearful dogs, athletic dogs, and dogs who “just need something more.”
