AKC Scent Work Trials

OTC's 2027 AKC-sanctioned Scent Work weekend, again hosted at Lamar Baptist Church.

Upcoming Scent Work

OTC's Scent Work trial returns in December 2027. Dogs search for cotton swabs saturated with the essential oils of birch, anise, clove and cypress across the trial's classes.

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.

Entries and premium list

Entry details, judging program, fees and closing dates are published in the premium list by the trial secretary. Current AKC event listings for this trial can be found through the AKC event search, and OTC posts updates on Facebook as the weekend approaches.
