🐾 Book via our booking page as normal
This is your chance to experience trailing as part of a small group while your dog works across varied parkland terrain.
You’ll have just over 1km of trailing to complete, split across two or three separate trails. You’ll get to watch your dog pick up that 24-hour-old scent, work it through a changing environment and stay focused while navigating all the sights, sounds and smells that Tatton Park has to offer.
But there’s another part we really love about rolling trails…
Watching dogs settle into group life.
They get to learn that being around other trailing teams doesn’t mean they have to interact with them. They can focus on their job, settle when they’re waiting and gradually become comfortable working alongside a new group of dogs and people.
Once everyone has finished, we’ll stop at the café before heading back towards the cars together. The cafe/group walk is completely optional, but it’s a lovely opportunity for the dogs to practise being around each other while they’re off duty too.
A few things you might want to know…
Is it suitable for reactive dogs?
In most cases, yes. We’ve had plenty of reactive dogs on rolling trails who have absolutely loved the experience and benefited from it. As with our normal sessions, we can manage distances and adapt how we run the trails. However, this is Tatton Park, so there will be members of the public, wildlife and all the usual distractions that come with trailing in a busy public space. If you’re unsure whether it would be suitable for your dog, please speak to me before booking.
How much trailing will my dog do?
Just over 1km in total, split into two or three separate trails.
Do I have to do the group walk back to the cars?
No. Once your dog has finished trailing, you’re free to head off. The group walk is an added bonus for those who fancy giving their dogs a little more practice walking alongside their new trailing friends.
What happens if the weather is rubbish?
In most cases… we trail! If it rains, we trail. If there’s a red weather warning for storms, we don’t. Anything in between will be judged at the time. If snow or road conditions make travelling unsafe, we’ll postpone.
An important note about booking
This is a small group of just six teams, which is what allows us to manage the dogs properly and give everyone a good experience. That also means every place matters. If someone books and then doesn’t attend, we can’t simply replace them at short notice and it impacts the experience for the rest of the group.
For that reason, all sales are final. Once you’ve booked, your place is yours and we’re unable to offer refunds or transfers to other sessions if you can no longer attend.
So… fancy helping us find Rudolph? 🎅🦌
Six places. One festive trailing adventure. Let’s go!
