This presentation is geared to introduce Mantrailing as a dog sport. It will talk about our methods to teach it, the hypothetical science behind it and how the sport can influence a dog´s behaviour even off the trail.

As with other dog sports, the reward system plays an important role to get a more driven canine partner for the task.

But what is it that makes Mantrailing such a popular dog sport around the world? Can any dog participate?
