north american sport dog association training

Dogs follow a scent trail in an outdoors setting, commonly in a field. This trail will lead to a rat within a safety quarry box.  Dog can run on or off leash. 

A rat in a quarry box is hidden in an 'urban' setting such as a shed, garage, patio etc. Dogs on longline will search the area until they locate them. 

Dogs will search in an outdoors area for scented naturally shed antlers. The sheds are scented with Rack Wax. Level 1 is just to search and find the antler. Level 2/3 the dog will retrieve the antler.  Dogs can run on or off leash. 

In level 1 dogs will find items (wallet, gloves & keys) that are scented with their handler's scent. In higher levels dogs are taught to find similar objects that belong to a stranger. This is done on a long line.
