Double or Nothing
• In this challenge game, you are searching an area that may have 2 scents or none at all, with more distractions than scents
• Skill Building: Calling an area clear, distraction work, being observant of in-odor behaviour
Cluster
• In this challenge game, you are searching clusters of objects and or boxes that are in very close proximity to each other, with multiple scents
• Skill building: building accuracy of search, pinpointing multiple scents which are close together, working with converging scents, and being observant of in-odor behaviour
Clear It
• The primary goal of this game is to strengthen a dog/handler team’s ability to search effectively and confidently call clear, emphasizing careful searching, strategic decision-making, and developing trust between the handler and dog.
• The game will consist of three areas, which may contain no hides, one hide, or multiple hides. Teams must successfully clear an area before progressing to the next, marking identified hides or distractions along the way
NEW – Against All ODS
**The primary goal this game is to test a dog/handler team’s ability to search an area without knowing how many hides are present, to help handlers build confidence in their dog’s abilities to search an area, and call clear effectively.
**Within Against The Odds, there will be an odd number of hides within the search area, either 1, 3, or 5. There will also be an equal number of distractions. The handler is to call clear when they believe that all hides have
Skills building: Calling an area clear, distraction work, being observant of in-odor behaviour, working in an area with many converging scents
