About Scent Work Clue Game
Unleash your inner detective and dive into a thrilling adventure with your four-legged partner! Introducing our unique Scent Work Clue Game, where you and your dog can become the heroes of a high-stakes mystery. Teams of four handlers and their dogs will embark on a scent work journey like no other, using their noses to uncover clues to solve the puzzle. Together, you'll unravel the who, the what, and the where of a cunningly crafted crime. This fast-paced game combines the excitement of a detective hunt with the joy of working closely with your dog, strengthening the bond between you as you decode each clue. Whether you're a seasoned handler or new to the scent work scene, this game promises an unforgettable experience filled with challenge, teamwork, and fun. Don't miss your chance to sign up for our next event and prove that your team has what it takes to crack the case. Join us for an exhilarating day where keen noses and sharp minds prevail. Sign up now and let the adventure begin!
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.
