Scent Detection Trial Ready - Novice

Are you ready for your first Scent Trial?

Competing at the Novice level is an exhilarating milestone, but it also brings a new set of challenges. Whether you’re eyeing your first qualifying certificate or continuing to sharpen your skills, this class is your comprehensive roadmap to trialing success.

​

We dive deep into the specific skills that you will need to tackle all four elements. You will develop specialised strategies for Interior, Exterior, Container, and Vehicle searches specifically tailored to Novice regulations.

Understanding odour dynamics is also a core focus; we teach you how to "read" the air by exploring how airflow, temperature, and environmental obstacles affect the odour, ensuring you can support your dog through it all.

We finish off the course with a mock trial to test your skills and have some fun before you enter your first competition.
