Coming to watch?
Trials are one of the best ways to see what training looks like when it works. You are welcome to come and watch, and there is no admission charge.
- Admission is free and families are welcome.
- Please leave unentered dogs and pets at home. Only dogs entered in the competition may come.
- Photographs are welcome — but no flash. Flash distracts the working team and affects their score.
OTC has hosted obedience and rally trials each February since 1973, and an AKC-sanctioned Scent Work trial each year since 2018.
