Mock Odor Recognition Test to prepare for an NACSW ORT. This is an excellent containers practice scenario as well as practice for a trial from any organization.
This Mock ORT will take place starting at 10:00 am at Theodore Parker Church in West Roxbury on Saturday, October 4th. It will run until each dog has had a turn to work Birch, Anise, and Clove. Up to 10 spots available.
Here is more info about the ORT from NACSW's website:
Before you can compete in an NACSW Trial, you will need to take an Odor Recognition Test (ORT). To enter an ORT you must be a member of the NACSW, and your dog must be registered with the NACSW. At an ORT, you and your dog will have to search 12 identical boxes with one of the boxes containing odor (birch, anise, and clove). The search will be “blind,” meaning you will not know which box contains the odor, and you must be able to correctly identify when you think your dog has found the odor box.
This session will also support students that generally would like to work more containers and single hide pictures. Instructor feedback will be offered following runs. Birch, Anise, Clove all run with 12 containers and 3 minute time limit. Your "judge" will be Aubrey Sperry, CDBC, CNWI, CPDT-KA.
