Are you looking for a new sport to try with your dog? Mantrailing is growing in the United States and we are thrilled to have an Accredited Mantrailing Instructor! Come join us for an Intro to Mantrailing Seminar on November 16th in Loomis, CA!

What is Mantrailing and who can play? Mantrailing is where dogs are trained to find people for sport. It's like a big game of hide and seek! Any dog can play - even dogs that are wary of strangers (provided they are not a bite risk). Mantrailing is a fantastic way to build confidence and work their brain and their body.

Are you looking to make obedience more exciting for you and your dog? Or are you looking to try a new sport together?

Rally Obedience allows dogs and their humans to practice their obedience skills in a course format that is ever-changing. In our Rally Novice class, we will learn the basics of Rally Obedience and practice the behaviors required for the Novice courses. Dogs should have basic obedience, including: sit, down, come, and loose leash walking. Dogs must be able to settle quietly and/or crate (bring your own crate/mat) with other dogs working. Class is 6 - 50 minute weekly classes on Saturdays at 6:30pm at Pet Food Express Roseville.
