All about Mantrailing


ABSOLUTELY! Mantrailing is suitable for any breed, age, or ability, including reactive dogs. At Follow Dogz, we have trail layers with extensive dog experience who are willing to hide for even the most reactive dogs. This makes mantrailing with me perfect for reactive and those with rescue dogs, as I have owned a reactive romanian street dog and am familier with their unique needs. I am proud to say that I have a few Romanian street dogs working with me who have really grown in confidence from trailing.
Yes, it is a low-impact sport, so it is ideal for dogs with orthopaedic issues or other physical limitations. Mantrailing is suitable for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. Mantrailing can also be adapted for dogs with limited vision or hearing. Everything can be tailored to each individual dog’s needs and abilities.
We teach the dogs to follow a specific person sent from an article, every time we walk we shed our skin cells and it is this that the dog follows, to find their fantastic reward.
Mantrailing is a great social sport for people with social anxiety. Our groups are small and trails are in locations where social distancing is possible. If you’re not comfortable hiding, let me know and I’ll make sure there are enough trail layers present.
For the activity, you'll need a Y-front harness and a long line. I have these available for you to borrow in several sizes. Additionally, bring small food pots, a variety of tasty snacks, and your normal walking clothing
