Sniffer Dog Trial Workshop & Level 1 Trials WeekendTrain Saturday. Trial Sunday. Build confidence together.
This special weekend is designed to help handlers understand what goes into a sniffer dog trial, practise the key skills involved, and then put everything into action in a supportive trial environment.
Rather than stepping straight into a trial and hoping for the best, Saturday focuses on learning and understanding the elements of a trial. Sunday then gives you the opportunity to put those skills into practice.
Whether you are new to trials or looking to build confidence at Level 1, this weekend offers a practical and enjoyable way to develop your teamwork.
Spaces are limited to 10 teams to keep the experience fun, supportive and well structured.
