Mock ORT Offered May 4th
This is a chance to practice an ORT set up with your dog. On May 5th, a MOCK ORT will be hosted by WestInn Kennels. This is NOT a coached session and will be open to anyone. You will have the option of knowing where the hide is before you search. The cost to run all three odors is $20. This event will start at 5:00 pm on May 5th and run until we have run all odors. PLEASE REGISTER, no day of registration will be accepted.
WHAT IS NACSW ORT?
The activity and sport of K9 Nose Work is designed to let dogs engage their natural scenting abilities in a fun and rewarding search endeavor.
Before you can compete in an NACSW Trial, you will need to take an Odor Recognition Test
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. (ORT).

We take pride in our commitment to providing a safe and fun experience for all dogs and their handlers. Our events are held in accordance with NACSW rules and guidelines.
