The Colour Trail

A fun, flexible pathway for teams who love to grow

Not everyone wants a defined structure - but if you and your dog enjoy working towards something, The Colour Trail is for you.

This is an optional progression pathway for mantrailing teams who want to challenge themselves, build their skills over time, and gain visible recognition at each stage.

Inspired by the coloured belt system in martial arts, The Colour Trail uses colour-coded levels to celebrate your progress. Each level comes with a set of trail challenges and a final assessment. When you complete level, you and your dog earns a  certificate and a coloured tag for their collar or harness to show what you’ve achieved together.

There’s no pressure to join the Trail – plenty of teams come each week just for the fun of it. But if you do want to work through the levels, we’ll guide you every step of the way.

Your Mantrailing Journal 

If you're following The Colour Trail, this is your essential tool for logging progress, recording feedback, and earning each level.

 It's available to purchase at sessions or online – and it’s also a great training tracker for anyone who mantrails, whether with us or elsewhere.
