Practical information
Where and when we meet
£30per introduction or progression place
Introductions are typically around an hour. Progression sessions last up to three hours, with rest in the car between trails.
Locations around Lincoln
Usually within 30 minutes of central Lincoln: for example Spalford Warren, Collingham, Carlton Centre or Harby.
Venue details are emailed a few days before the session and take weather into account. Expect to be outdoors for most of the session.
Dates and places are confirmed in the live booking calendar.
Is it suitable for dogs who worry about other dogs?
Dogs work one at a time, so mantrailing can suit dogs who are unsure around others. Discuss your dog’s needs with us when enquiring.
What equipment will we learn to use?
A comfortable harness, a long lead and a scent article: an item worn or handled by the person being found.
Can I join progression after an introduction elsewhere?
Yes. An introduction with any Mantrailing Global instructor allows you to book our progression sessions.
