Playful mantrailing
What is this?
Mantrailing is a tracking technique used by professionals to search for missing people.
As part of the playful mantrailing we are not looking for people who have actually disappeared but for people who will voluntarily go into hiding for the duration of the exercise.

For who?
Playful mantrailing can be practiced from 3 months and without age limit. In fact, the exercises will be adapted according to each dog, but also according to the dog owner. All types of dogs are welcome (from Chihuahua to Great Dane to Bulldog, we do not discriminate!) For the simple reason that they are all capable of using their sense of smell and all have great olfactory abilities.
