How do I create a path of paw prints for the player to follow easily?

Hey CallumHenry!

I recommend using animation notifcations (AnimNotify) on your Animal Pawn Animation Blueprint. Every time the animal pawn takes a step, have it place a Decal on the ground. You can make those Decals last as long as you need and you can setup the Decal Material to render emissive materials to stand out easier, or render a particle effect as well. Here is a tutorual on making Animation Notifications.
