CHALLENGE
12.31.2023
what?
Get ready for an exciting dog training challenge! In this event, teams will face 100 boxes in one space. Although the boxes may vary in materials like plastic or cardboard, they'll be of similar sizes and shapes. Your dog's task is to find anywhere from 1 to 15 hidden scents, including birch, anise, and clove, within 7 minutes. Teams must call out "alert" when they discover a scent and then "finish" when they think they've found them all. This is a fun and engaging way to test your dog's scent detection skills with a multitude of diverse boxes!
who?
Teams of all skill levels are invited to join in, making this event a fantastic test and training experience for participants at any stage of their journey. Whether you're a beginner or advanced, everyone is welcome! The search will be overseen by a judge, ensuring a fair evaluation, and a timer will be in place to track the progress of each participant. It's an inclusive opportunity for dog enthusiasts to enhance their skills, regardless of their current level of training.

**we will start the first heat at 11 am and will immediately follow with heat #2. This may mean that we will start the second heat earlier or later than expected**
prizes?
Of course there will be prizes for the winners! There will be awards for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place! Prizes will consist of a gift bag of surprise goodies for you and your pup to enjoy. Prizes for both heats will be different, incase someone places in both heats! Placements will be based on time + faults + amount of hides found.
