AGAINST THE ODDS 
**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.

ONCE AROUND
In this challenge game, you are only going around the search area once, a series of boxes and or objects, with multiple scents.
• Skills Building: searching in an area with converging scents and being observant of in odor behaviour

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
