Whether in a real-life rescue situation searching for missing people, as therapeutic support for insecure, fearful or hyperactive dogs, or as a rewarding activity: man trailing is becoming more and more popular around the world.

Four-legged team partners also have lots of fun engaged in these activities that challenge their noses. After all, following tracks is what they are “designed” to do and very rewarding for them. Man trailing involves following the scent trail of a specific person across all kinds of terrain ...

The dog learns to circle at a limited radius. At the beginning at least, the owner remains in the center of the circle and uses body language and signals to influence the direction and speed of the dog. Paradoxically, the spatial distance creates closeness – with the dog focused squarely on the commands of its owner.

A perfect workout for brain and body! Bonds between dog and person are strengthened, the dog’s concentration and skills are improved, plus it’s lots of fun and filled with variety (changes of speed, various equipment, tricks, coordination exercises, several dogs, …).
