About this listen

Curious about mantrailing? This episode breaks down how nosework can benefit every dog.

Looking for a new enrichment activity that’s fun, low-pressure, and perfect for all dogs? In this episode of Positive Playtime by Tug-E-Nuff, we’re joined by mantrailing expert and Trailing K9s founder, Kathryn Jones, to explore how this nosework sport (aka hide and seek for dogs!) can build confidence, reduce stress, and strengthen your bond.


Even if your dog has zero obedience training, mantrailing is a dog-led activity that’s accessible for all ages and breeds - including nervous, reactive, or overly excited dogs. It’s enriching, non-competitive, and a great way to boost your dog’s mental wellbeing.


You’ll learn:

  • What mantrailing is and why it’s growing in popularity

  • How it benefits reactive, anxious, and excitable dogs

  • Why mantrailing can be more inclusive than traditional training

  • How to get started and what you’ll need
