This one-day seminar satisfies the seminar option for new judge candidates and counts as continuing education for current judges. You must attend the entire day as a full participant to meet the AKC Scent Work seminar requirements. The seminar will be split between classroom instruction/discussion and hands-on activities.
Hands-on Learning
Participants acting as Judges and Stewards will break into groups to design searches for preselected classes and difficulty levels. After the demo dog runs the search, the instructor will discuss the search design and hide placement with the group. The presenter will provide their evaluation.
Spots are available for judges full participation spots as well as audit spots for those interested in furthering their Scent Work knowledge.
