3 days man trailing in France

3-day seminar, with the possibility (depending on the level) to obtain a mantrailing certificate. The test will be carried out double-blind , using the mantrailingapp (GPS) application . Why double-blind? It guarantees the integrity of the test.
Man trailing utilises the power of the canine nose and allows dogs to use both their nose and their desire to hunt to follow a trail. Through man trailing you will discover the nuances of your dog’s body language. Most important part of man trailing is reading the dog, and together with your dog, you are on a hunt to find a “missing” person!
The purpose of the 3-day course is to provide individual advice per dog team, to start or continue to build your foundation in man trailing. We cover troubleshooting and progression so that when you leave us at the end of a workshop you have the knowledge to progress further.
Price: €355, which includes coffee/tea. The course fee does not include the cost of overnight accommodation; travel to and from the venues or diner.
