Do you want to..
Enrich your dog’s life by providing them with engaging activities that stimulate both mind and body?
Fulfil their natural instincts, tapping into what they were truly bred for?
Strengthen your relationship with your dog through teamwork, trust, and mutual understanding?
Then why not try dog sports!
Our holistic approach embraces their natural instincts, providing appropriate outlets for behaviours like sniffing and hunting. By working with these instincts, not against them, we allow dogs to do what they were born to do - be dogs at their best.
Our Dog Sports
Mantrailing
-
Mantrailing is a scent sport where your dog uses their nose to follow a specific person’s trail - it’s dog-led, mentally stimulating, and incredibly rewarding.
-
Builds confidence and focus, especially in dogs who are nervous, reactive, or struggle in typical training environments.
-
Suitable for all breeds, sizes, and ages - from excitable puppies to steady seniors.
-
Low-impact and always on-lead, making it ideal for dogs who need space or prefer working one-on-one.
-
We run workshops tailored to all levels, whether you’re just starting out or looking to build on your skills.
-
Not sure if it’s for you? Try our ‘Have a Go’ Mantrailing Sessions - a 45-minute 1:1 experience where you and your dog can explore the sport in a relaxed, supportive setting.
Barn Hunt
-
Barn Hunt is a fast-paced scent sport that taps into your dog’s natural hunting instincts by simulating the hunt for rats in a barn environment.
-
Your dog will navigate straw bale obstacles, tunnels, and climbs while searching for hidden rat-scented tubes - all while you learn to read their body language and alert the judge.
-
Suitable for all breeds and abilities, including reactive dogs and those who need to be muzzled - any dog over 6 months can join in the fun.
-
Great for building confidence and teamwork, Barn Hunt helps dogs develop problem-solving skills while strengthening their bond with you in a fun, motivating environment.
-
Take part in Official Barn Hunt Trials to earn internationally recognised titles and track your progress as a team.
-
We offer open workshops for all experience levels, Fun Tests (mock trials to practise in a low-pressure environment), and fully licensed trials for those ready to compete.
Coming Soon! Lure Coursing
-
Lure Coursing is a high-energy sport that channels your dog’s natural chase instincts in a safe, controlled setting - perfect for dogs who love to run.
-
Your dog will chase a fast-moving lure across an open field, mimicking the thrill of the hunt while giving them a healthy outlet for their drive.
-
Suitable for all breeds and abilities - including reactive dogs - it’s ideal for sighthounds, high-drive dogs, or any dog that thrives on movement.
-
Our workshops also focus on calmness, cooperative play, and impulse control, helping your dog learn to switch between excitement and relaxation.
-
Each session includes a warm-up and cool-down to promote fitness, prevent injury, and ensure your dog is working safely and comfortably.
-
You’ll join a friendly group of like-minded handlers - whether it’s your first run or your fiftieth, there’s a supportive and fun atmosphere to be part of.
"Dog sports are our passion, and we believe they’re one of the best ways to engage a dog’s natural instincts, unlocking mental stimulation, confidence, and joy for all breeds. Whether your dog is a scent-driven hunter or simply loves a challenge, dog sports are a fantastic way to enrich their lives and fulfil their innate potential."
