Trailing K9s has existed since 2019 when Kathryn passed the Mantrailing Global Instructors Course (formerly Mantrailing UK). She then went on to become a Head Instructor for Mantrailing Global in 2020 until 2023. Originally Kathryn ran mantrailing events alongside her Canine Behaviour business. The mantrailing quickly took off, however, and in 2020 – along with a move to North Wales – it became her sole full time business and passion. Kathryn is dedicated to understanding the body language of dogs when mantrailing. It is this passion that has led her to become obsessed with decoding the on and off trailing behaviour of dogs. Kathryn passed the Scent Imprint for Dogs Tracking and Trailing Instructor Course in 2024, and is also working on the K9 IlMa Global Training Handler course. She also hosts an online platform where she shares monthly videos to help others decode the theory behind mantrailing as a sport.
