Mantrailing Hub

The Mantrailing Hub, new for Edition Dog Live 2026, offers visitors a chance to explore one of the most fascinating scent-based activities in the dog world. Hosted by The Canine School of Trailing, this hub introduces the principles of mantrailing in an accessible and engaging way.

Mantrailing is a form of scent work where dogs learn to follow the unique scent of a specific person, using natural ability, focus, and teamwork rather than speed or obedience. It’s suitable for a wide range of dogs and is often celebrated for building confidence, providing mental enrichment, and strengthening the bond between dog and handler.

Visitors are welcome to watch the activity in action and learn how it works, or have a go with their own dog, guided by experienced professionals. Whether you’re completely new to mantrailing or simply curious about your dog’s scenting potential, the Mantrailing Hub offers insight, discovery, and the chance to see just how extraordinary a dog’s nose can be.
