Event Format:

Feel free to put together your own teams comprised of 4 dogs/handlers and we will do our best to accommodate your requests. Otherwise, register and we will match you with a team.

Dog Info:

One dog will search at a time and dogs will be crated in cars between searches. Please bring items to keep your dog comfortable in the car. We recommend bringing a chair.

Dogs need to be on all three odors (birch, anise, clove) and be comfortable searching in new and varied environments. Please be sure that your dog is comfortable in this kind of setting with dogs and people that they may not know.

Cancellation Policy:

Cancellations will be accepted until 5:00 PM, 7/10/26. We will process a refund less $25 processing fee. For late cancellation, we will refund registration fee (less $25 service fee) only if we can fill your spot from a waitlist.
