Details:
Dogs primarily experience the world through their noses – so why not playfully encourage this natural ability? In this course, we use the technique of mantrailing, but without the demands of professional search work. Instead, the focus is on:
✅ Mental & physical stimulation for your dog
✅ Improved concentration – especially helpful for high-energy dogs
✅ Building trust – ideal for dogs who are insecure around strangers
✅ Fun & teamwork between you and your dog
Here's how it works: Your dog learns to track the individual scent of a hidden person (the "runner") and follow them over varying distances. We gradually increase the difficulty. The periods of concentration become longer throughout the course – a valuable skill for many everyday situations.
In addition to the group sessions, you will receive summaries of the most important topics, as well as access to topic-based handouts and training ideas.
