​A Different Way to Learn
Mantrailing isn’t just about dogs following trails, it’s also about young people learning to lead, work as a team, and develop real-world skills in a unique and unforgettable way.
​
Our workshops are designed for students aged 13–18 and tailored to suit international school programmes across Switzerland.
Whether you’re looking for a one-off activity, project week experience, or ongoing enrichment option, we deliver hands-on, high-energy sessions that get students engaged and working together.
Communication
Verbal and non-verbal—between humans and dogs, and within the team.
Critical Thinking
Each trail is a challenge. Students must observe, assess, and adapt in real time.
Collaboration
Students take turns being dog handler, trail layer, support and trainer—all roles matter.
What Students Learn..
Leadership & Responsibility
Empowering students to take initiative and make confident decisions.
Applied Learning
​Brings biology, psychology, and behaviour science to life through action.
Empathy & Emotional Regulation
Dogs mirror energy. Students learn to be calm, consistent, and respectful.
