Trailing
Dog Trailing Sessions – A Unique and Engaging Experience for You and Your Dog!
Our two-hour trailing sessions offer an exciting and mentally stimulating activity for dogs of all ages, abilities, and breeds. With a maximum of four participants per session, each team benefits from expert guidance in a relaxed and supportive environment.
What is Trailing?
Trailing taps into your dog’s natural instincts, encouraging them to follow scent patterns in both the air and on the ground. Some dogs prefer tracking closely to a trail, deeply focused until they reach their target. Others rely on air scenting, taking shortcuts guided by changes in wind direction. Most dogs use a mix of both techniques to navigate toward their goal.
One of the key benefits of trailing is the autonomy it provides—dogs have the freedom to move independently, make choices, and engage with their environment. This fosters greater confidence, optimism, and a stronger bond between handler and dog.
Suitable for All Dogs
Whether your dog is a seasoned tracker or an absolute beginner, trailing is designed to be inclusive and adaptable. Even anxious dogs can participate, benefiting from structured activities that help build confidence and trust. Since each dog is worked individually, those with behavioural challenges—whether they struggle with other dogs, people, or unfamiliar surroundings—can enjoy the experience in a safe, welcoming space.
Join a Session Today!
Discover the joy and enrichment of trailing with your dog. Whether you're looking for an engaging new activity, a way to support your dog’s behavioural needs, or simply a fun adventure together, our sessions are designed to bring out the best in every dog.
