Good Scents Trials and Events
Scroll to the bottom of this page for a list of upcoming events.
Sniff-n-Go
A Sniff-n-Go event is exactly what it says – turn up and have a fun, relaxed search in a trial-like environment. The day is less structured than a Trial, with no levels, judging, or point scoring. Sniff-n-Gos are a great way to compete, or practice competing, without handler nerves getting in the way.
It is open to all dogs regardless of experience, although dogs should be imprinted on at least one of the sniff-n-go odours (cypress, clove, anise) Whether you’re an ultra-advanced handler, or a beginner just starting out on cypress, running your dog at a Good Scents Sniff-n-Go exposes you to a new environment in a friendly manner that will enhance and build on your future competition skills, or simply give your pooch a fun day out!
Good Scents Trials
Throughout the year Good Scents hosts a variety of fun, sniffy, challenging trials to entertain you and your dog.
For those wanting to partake in trials that allow opportunity to gain qualifications with CNASA (Canine Nosework Association of South Africa) Good Scents is a CNASA affiliated school which provides handler teams the framework to advance through the CNASA levels.
For the enjoyment of all handler teams Good Scents hosts trials that are wonderfully fun for every dog regardless of level, or CNASA-sanctioned for those wanting to seriously compete. The great thing is – the choice is yours!
Good Scents events
Throughout the year Good Scents puts on fun, novel, and scent-engaging events such as Sunday Sniffaris, allowing you and your dog to practice what you’ve learnt in class into different Gauteng locations, expanding you and your dog’s confidence.
