A different Kind of Training
Track & Trail is a fun and practical way to help your dog use one of their most powerful natural abilities — their nose.
Instead of asking your dog to simply “behave”, this training gives them a job to do. It channels natural scenting, searching and problem-solving skills into structured activities that build confidence, focus and connection.
These sessions are ideal for dogs who need more mental stimulation, dogs who enjoy sniffing, dogs who struggle to focus, and owners who want to do something enjoyable and purposeful with their dog.
Track & Trail is not about pressure or perfection. It is about teamwork, confidence and giving dogs an outlet that feels natural, rewarding and deeply enriching.

Is It Suitable for My Dog?
Track & Trail can be helpful for many dogs, including nervous or reactive dogs as it gives them something purposeful to focus on.
Suitability depends on the individual dog and environment. Some dogs may require 1-2-1 support first of all.
If your dog barks, lunges, freezes or becomes overwhelmed easily, please get in touch before booking so we can choose the safest options
