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. Saturday focuses on learning and understanding the elements of a trial. Sunday gives you the opportunity to put those skills into practice. Spaces are limited to 10 teams to keep the experience calm, supportive and well structured. Booking Options ⭐ Weekend Bundle – £85 Attend both days and save. This option includes: • Full Sniffer Dog Trial Workshop on Saturday • Entry to the Level 1 Sniffer Dog Trials on Sunday Recommended for teams who want to learn the process and then put it into practice. Day 1 – Sniffer Dog Trial Workshop Saturday | 10:30am – 3:30pm Individual booking fee - £60 This workshop focuses on the skills, handling and decision-making involved in a sniffer dog trial. Rather than rushing through exercises, we take the time to break down what judges look for and how handlers can support their dogs effectively. During the workshop we will explore: • Indication and commitment to source • Independent searching • Area coverage and search strategy • Team partnership and handler choices • Reading your dog and knowing when to support vs step back • Understanding trial scoring and judging Each team will complete one practice run, while the rest of the group will have the opportunity to score and judge. Seeing things from the judge’s perspective often brings real clarity to handling and decision making. All teams attending the workshop will receive a certificate of attendance. Please note: • Bring your own lunch • Tea and coffee facilities available (microwave access) • Limited to 10 teams Day 2 – Level 1 Sniffer Dog Trials Sunday Individual booking fee - £35 Sunday gives teams the opportunity to experience a structured sniffer dog trial in a friendly, supportive environment.
