Dear AKC Club Officer, Did you know that 140+ AKC Scent Work trials were held across 25 states between the sport’s October launch and the end of 2017? More than 1,600 titles have been awarded! This fast-growing program is a great way to engage current members and attract new participants. Why not consider getting your Club licensed?

AKC Scent Work is a fun, challenging activity that mimics the job of working detection dogs: •   All AKC dogs 6 months or older can compete •   Gives dogs an opportunity to use their strongest natural sense in a safe, engaging way •   The many benefits include strengthening the bond between a handler and their dog

AKC Scent Work Can Fit Your Club's Resources

1   Clubs can hold AKC Scent Work trials as standalone events or add them to All-Breed, Group or Specialty Conformation shows       2   They require minimal supplies and can be held in a wide range of locations (e.g. Container class is very adaptable to a ring environment)       3   You decide how many and what type of classes to include in your Club’s Scent Work trial
