NACSW ORT "Odor Recognition Testing"

The National Association of Canine Scent Work (TM) (NACSW) sets the standards governing the sport of K9 Nose Work (TM). The NACSW is the only official sanctioning and organizing body for K9 Nose Work titles and ORTs. The art and practice of nose work has now reached dogs of all shapes and sizes and has made basic search dog skills available to companion dogs, creating a new urban sport arena for dog enthusiasts. Paws-Abilities is proud to host a sanctioned NACSW – Odor Recognition Test. All dogs participating in the ORT must be registered with the NACSW. All handlers must also be members of the NACSW. Membership and registration are available at: www.nacsw.net/nacswmembership.html. Membership and Registration must be completed at least 6 weeks prior to the ORT to allow for processing time. Depending on the number of registrations, we may assign time slots to minimize wait time. Cost: $25
