Sniff thru for NW1-level and NW2-level competitors

This sniff thru will help prepare you for the upcoming NW1 and NW2 trials in Foxboro, MA, but all teams are welcome to attend! This location is a large nursery, and we will have an interior building search area as well. We will try to provide all 4 search elements (interior, exterior, vehicles, containers) but it may depend on weather and availability of vehicles.

Hides may be “nested” for NW2, so if you are running dogs at both levels, please be aware you may know where some of the hides are located. If we have enough judges and volunteers, we may have completely new areas.

SCHEDULE AND RUN ORDERS — please read!

Due to parking limitations and search areas being spread out, we are going to run folks in groups of 10-12 at a time. You will be assigned to a group and given a time slot to be here. For NW1, you will run two searches back to back, then return to the parking lot where you will be called to run the other two searches back to back. For NW2, you will run three searches back to back, then return and go to the remaining two searches. Each group will be split into two teams — Team A will run two search areas while Team B runs the other two. Then the teams will swap search areas. We will need to be efficient so please keep an eye on the numbers in the parking lot.

Volunteer dogs (Brenda & Tank, Lisa & Taj, Reg & Ziva, Emily & Maze) will run at 10:00 am and 12:45 pm.
