We want to congratulate our students on their amazing results at the Ventura Dog Fancier Association scent work trial at Bonn Fyre Farm in Moorpark Ca this past weekend. Our students had an overall "q" rate of 87%. Two of our students earned High in Trial Combined (for two different trials) and one of our students earned a High in Trial. There were many completed titles, with one student earning their Master level HD (Handler Discrimination) title, and many are moving up to the next level. Almost all of our students were "in the ribbons". Ventura Dog Fancier Association held two separate trials on both Saturday and Sunday, and we all appreciated being able to have enough trials tin one weekend to complete a SWN (Novice) title of a SWA (Advanced title in ONE weekend. Everyone enjoyed the great location, the relaxed atmosphere, and two fun days with our dogs! We are looking forward to their next trial at Bonn Fyre Farm November 8th and 9th. Come join us (entries don't close until Next Wednesday, October 29th).

This past Saturday, we held our second in a two-part workshop for the upcoming AKC Novice scent work trials. This workshop focused on Buried and Exterior searches; the prevoius workshop focused on Container and Interior searches. Both workshops ran fantastically smoothly. Attendees said they learned a lot, they saw where they have holes in their training and now know what to work on, but most importantly, they had fun with their dogs. In the upcoming classes, we will focus on areas that we found needed more work so our students feel prepared and confident to enter AKC scent work trials.

This Saturday was our first AKC novice level trial prep workshop, at Bonn Fyre Farm in Moorpark, and focused on containers and interiors. Many of our students are planning to enter their first scent work trials soon, and we saw that many of them were unsure of what to expect from the trial, and unsure if they and their dogs were ready. We want them to feel ready, to know that they are ready, and know what to expect about how the trials are actually run when they show up for their first competitions in the AKC scent work trials that will be held in the next several months.

In the workshop, we covered various methods and ideas for handling different types of searches and environments. Teams were able to practice what had been discussed, and get feedback on their runs; and then participated in a trial like run through of the container and interior elements that were covered.

Our hope is that people were able to see areas in their training that need to be focused on, and where there are holes in their training, so that these issues can be worked on prior to entering trials.

Our next workshop, also at Bonn Fyre Farm, will be on Saturday August 16th and will focus on exterior and buried searches. Workshops are limited to 16 working spot, and here are still a few working spots are available; auditing is unlimited. Contact us for more information on this or upcoming scent work classes and workshops.

Our plan in the future is to do more workshops, to repeat the novice level and to move on and do workshops for higher level classes.

We had another fun and fantastic Saturday scent work class. We set up a complex moving odor search game that challenged each dog at the level it was working. All of our students and their dogs had a fun time. Let us know if you want to come try a class; our Saturday class is drop in style, no session required, all levels (even newbies) are welcome.

Come join in on the fun of canine scent work sports.
