All dates for trail training, events, training courses and workshops
I trained and qualified in Austria to become the UK’s first Pettrail /Mantrailing Trainer and I am currently the only full-time trainer teaching pettrailing in the UK. I teach through a combination of my trainer education in addition to my hands on experience trailing with my own dogs. I practice what I teach, having a unique insight into the journey you yourself will travel whilst trailing with your own dogs.
My canine trailing partners are Mabel and Herbie, two labradors who started life in rescue centres. Real life rescue dogs turned rescuers. One of the many highlights of our trailing journeys together is when Team Mabel became the UK’s 1st Certified Professional Pettrailer Team!
I run regular training sessions, events and workshops across the UK. In addition, offer search advice and services to families with lost pets.
One of my main tasks is to train future PETTRAILER teams and Pettrail trainers.
