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 

Introducing Hi – LOW
Hi-Low challenges teams to locate hides that are placed either high off the ground (2 - 4 feet) or very low to the ground (under 1 foot).
*SKILL Building This game emphasizes a dog’s ability to search vertically, and helps handlers better understand how to facilitate and encourage thorough searches across all height ranges.

Introducing HIT THE WALL
In Hit The Wall, hides will be placed along a solid wall, positioned high or low. The hides may be hidden in non-traditional items such as envelopes or bags. Hides will be placed on a wall in varying heights, from 6 inches up to 3 ½ feet off the ground
SKILL Building This exercise is designed to build the dog’s confidence in searching perimeter areas of a ring, and identify unconventional hide locations.

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
