Levels Offered: NW1, NW2, NW3 & Elite

Date & Time: Saturday, June 20th, approximately 10:00am–4:00pm

• The event begins with NW1 and progresses through levels as the day continues.

• You will be assigned a run time, which will be emailed to you 5-7 days before the event.

Prerequisites:

• Dogs must be fluent in searching for all three NACSW odors in novel environments.

• An ORT title is not required.

Cost:

• $55.00 per dog for 3 searches, or $70.00 per dog for 4 searches — your choice!

• 50 total spots available.

• All participants receive a commemorative participation ribbon!

Searches:

• All levels will consist of 3 or 4 searches run consecutively. Weather permitting, one of those searches will be an exterior or vehicle search: 3-search sign-ups will receive 2 interior searches and 1 exterior or vehicle search; 4-search sign-ups will receive 3 interior searches and 1 exterior or vehicle search. In the event of inclement weather, the exterior or vehicle search will be replaced by an additional interior search. Interior areas may include classrooms with slick floors, a large auditorium with carpeting, and/or a lunchroom/cafeteria area. 

• All searches will be run blind unless you request to be told where the hides are located.

• Searches will be conducted in accordance with the current NACSW trial rulebook guidelines regarding false alerts, faults, and errors. If you would like to continue running after a false alert, you must make that request at the beginning of each search.

​

Please complete one registration form per dog. You may enter multiple dogs at the same level; however, hides will not be reset between runs.
