Shire Trailing & Scentwork

Trailing and scentwork harness your dog’s natural reward drives—boosting mood, sharpening focus and providing mental stimulation. As your dog follows target odours, they’ll learn to regulate heart rate and engage full-system breathing—a true doggy “yoga-zen” state.

​

With more than ten years’ experience in dog sports, our fully qualified Mantrailing Global Instructors and Assessors harness the finest techniques from diverse disciplines to create a bespoke training toolkit for you and your dog. We eschew a one-size-fits-all philosophy, instead merging proven methods to suit each team’s individual needs.

​

Our active clubs offer a clear progression pathway once you’ve completed an Introduction course—or equivalent—so you always know what’s next.
