2 Day Introductory Mantrailing Seminar (16 hours), hosted by CBCC/CPDT-KA Lydia Bagley. Seminar includes a 3 hour class on safety and scent training. Remaining time participants will learn how to lay track/decoy, handle the dog, and act as the safety or flanker to ensure dog/handler safety on trail. This is a working seminar with 5-6 participants. Mantrailing is a sport training dogs to find people by following their unique scent trail. All dog's have a natural ability to hunt and therefore Mantrailing provides them with an outlet to do this in a safe, controlled and constructive way. We teach them how to harness their amazing sense of smell and turn it into a super fun activity to do together as a sport. Equipment: All you need for Mantrailing is a long-line, harness and food rewards for your dog. If it’s your first time attending an introduction session. Don’t forget to also bring an item of clothing that you have recently warn which will smell like you. An appropriate item such as a glove, sock, scarf or neck chief make excellent scent articles.
