Mantrailing Classes
You will find all
Mantrailing related classes
on this page.
In person classes are added at least monthly, so check back often.
Also, as we're entering the hurricane season, so some classes may be canceled last minute. No worries!
In that case we will meet on Zoom (time of class) and I'll cover one of the topics of interest, and answer any questions you may have.

INTRODUCTION TO MANTRAILING
WHAT is an introduction?
In an Introduction Class we will teach you all the necessary exercises to start you on a successful trail.
Introduction consists of an evening Zoom meeting (75-90 min) and an all morning class of 4(+/-) hours. Theory and practical exercises to prepare teams to start Mantrailing are shared over the online and in person meetings. Also your first short trails will all happen in the Introduction class!
You will learn all the basics: brief understanding of canine olfaction, how to safely handle a long line, teach your dog to take scent of an object, and get your dog trailing for a human.
I prefer to split introduction into Zoom theory meeting and morning practical class. This is how we compress exposure to heat for our dogs, as we comfortably learn theory part from our homes. Next morning you will bring your dogs to the practical part of the Introduction, and you will be set to join the fun of Mantrailing community!
Intro class will be available on as needed basis when we gather a group of 4-5 new starting teams. Please inquire by email or Facebook Mantrailing Florida Group. Intro class is a prerequisite for working as a team in Mantrailing progressions class. We call them progressions, as you keep building skills and progressing your foundations.
We welcome outsiders to come and hide for our teams during trainings and classes.
After successful completion of Introduction to Mantrailing, each participant will be added to our private Facebook Group FL Mantrailing where we share training videos, inspirations, questions, training schedule and more.
Cost: $150
cost will increase if traveling to a different location to include extra expense
Progression in Mantrailing grows on solid foundations, fun, and experience. These are the elements that we will be building in our training classes. Each team will be able to work in a variety of scenarios and complexities during the training. Everyone will be supported with productive amount of challenge while maintaining high motivation for the game of Mantrailing.
The keen teams will be encouraged to keep progression logs and teams will be able to earn badges as they grow their Mantrailing journey. Badges and progression plans are not mandatory at all, but are available for the eager teams.
Cost: $35 per team for 2(+) hour class, 2 shorter trails, working spots are limited.
PRICE CHANGE coming up in October! $40 for 2 shorter trails,
or 1 aged longer trail
