Specialised Training

Scent detection training develops your dog’s natural ability to search for and locate target odours. Through structured, progressive training, dogs learn to search independently, work through problems and communicate when they have located the target odour.

  • Develops strong, independent search skills

  • Builds focus, confidence and problem-solving ability

  • Suitable for both pet and working dogs

  • Structured progression from foundation skills through to advanced searches

Scent Detection

Mantrailing teaches your dog to follow an individual person’s scent trail to locate them. Training develops your dog’s natural scenting ability while building independence, confidence and teamwork between dog and handler.

  • Develops natural scenting and trailing skills

  • Builds confidence and independence

  • Strengthens handler and dog communication

  • Suitable for a wide range of breeds and experience levels

  • Practical, engaging outdoor training

Mantrailing/ Tracking

Gundog training develops your dog’s natural retrieving ability, responsiveness and control through structured, progressive training. Suitable for both working gundogs and pet dogs, sessions are tailored to your goals and your dog’s experience, from foundation skills through to more advanced gundog work.

  • Develops retrieving skills and reliability

  • Builds engagement, responsiveness and control

  • Develops steadiness and handler communication

  • Structured progression from foundation to advanced skills

  • Suitable for working and pet gundogs

This also leaves Michael room to work on retrieving, steadiness, recall, delivery, directional work and more advanced skills without making the website overly technical.
