Mantrailing in Cheshire and South Manchester
What is Mantrailing?
Mantrailing, also known as trailing, is a fascinating scent-based activity where dogs use their exceptional sense of smell to find a person or pet. At Dog Trailing, based in Wilmslow, sessions are designed to build confidence and strengthen the bond between you and your dog. Whether you're new to trailing or have experience, joining our sessions in Cheshire and South Manchester ensures a fun and rewarding experience for both handler and dog.
โ
โโSessions are led by Laurence James, a qualified mantrailing instructor based in Wilmslow who has competed in agility at Crufts and trained his street rescue dog, Samson, to be a tricks champion and trailing buddy.
Dog Trailing applies positive, science-backed training methods that are kind, fair and effective.

"Great session! Well organised with each trail tailored to the experience of handler/dog. Will definitely be booking on again ๐"
"Had our third session last night. We had a fabulous time. Laurence adapted and increased the difficulty of the trails to challenge her. Trailing has helped her gain more confidence and cope with busy environments."
"This was a first time dog trailing. Both dog and owner enjoyed it and definitely would do it again. Laurence organised the session well and gave us very clear instructions."
What's it like to trail?
Trailing your dog is astounding! We're always amazed by our dogs' remarkable superpower: their incredible sense of smell, which they use naturally. The challenge, as a handler, is to learn the behaviours of our dog, and I'll guide and coach the handler through trails.โโ
