AKC Scent Work Trials
Three days of AKC-sanctioned Scent Work. Dogs search for cotton swabs saturated with the essential oils of birch, anise, clove and cypress.
OTC has hosted an AKC-sanctioned Scent Work trial each year since 2018, normally on a weekend in December. Every dog is born knowing how to use its nose; Scent Work was inspired by the training of scent-detection dogs and turns that instinct into a sport.
In AKC Scent Work, dogs search for cotton swabs saturated with the essential oils of birch, anise, clove and cypress. Handlers read their dogs and call the find.
Spectator information
- Admission is free and the public is welcome.
- Please leave unentered dogs and pets at home.
- Photographs are welcome, but no flash photography — it distracts the working team and affects their score.
