(Come When Called)

Scentwork, Sport & Enrichment Workshops
Sniff & Go – Container & Interior Searches
This Sniff & Go offers dogs and handlers the opportunity to run four total searches (three searches for Advance / Trial Prep) in a relaxed, non-trial environment while still mirroring real competition setups.
Event format (1 hour total):
2 Container Searches
2 or more Interior Searches
Birch Odor (also Anise, Clove, and Cypress for Advanced)
2 hides per search (3 hides for Advanced)
Search layouts and hide placement will be similar in complexity and style to typical CPE and UKC nosework courses, making this an excellent tune-up for upcoming trials or a confidence-building experience for newer teams.
Runs may be video recorded and are eligible for submission toward titles through CyberScentwork (handler is responsible for meeting CyberScentwork submission requirements).
Why attend:
Trial-like searches without the pressure
Ideal for proofing, handling practice, or title submissions
Flexible, supportive environment for dogs and handlers
This event is open to teams familiar with birch odor. Dogs should be comfortable working independently in interior spaces and around containers.
