The sport of Scent Work celebrates the joy of sniffing, and asks a dog to sniff to their heart\u2019s content; turning your dog\u2019s favorite activity into a rewarding game. It is a terrific sport for all kinds of dogs, and is a wonderful way to build confidence in a shy dog.<\/p><p>In so many dog sports the handler is in control but this isn\u2019t true in Scent Work. Neither the dog nor handler knows where the target odor is hidden. The handler has to rely on the dog, and follow the dog\u2019s nose to success &#8230; but, then has to know when and how that dog alerts. In Scent Work, it is the canine who is the star of the show.<\/p><p>The sport of Scent Work is based on the work of professional detection dogs (such as drug dogs), employed by humans to detect a wide variety of scents and substances. In AKC Scent Work, dogs search for cotton swabs saturated with the essential oils of Birch, Anise, Clove, and Cypress. The cotton swabs are hidden out of sight in a pre-determined search area, and the dog has to find them. Teamwork is necessary: when the dog finds the scent, he has to communicate the find to the handler, who calls it out to the judge.<a href=\"https:\/\/ackcsc.org\/national\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/AKCScentWork_Logo_SM-1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/ackcsc.org\/national\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/AKCScentWork_Logo_SM-1-150x150.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p><p><strong>Date:\u00a0 Sat &amp;

The event is open to all breeds and is a fantastic opportunity for dogs to demonstrate their natural retrieving instincts. The program includes various levels of difficulty, ensuring that both novice and experienced dogs can participate and enjoy the challenge. AKC Fetch videos can be found here: https:\/\/www.akc.org\/fetch\/videos\/<\/p><p>As an introduction to AKC Fetch, the Club is offering a presentation on AKC Fetch to our membership as we hope to include this new and exciting event in future shows.\u00a0 If we do include this in the future, we need to meet AKC requirements for hosting and staffing.<\/p><p><strong>What is required for our Club to Host an AKC Fetch Event<\/strong><\/p><p>Hosting an AKC Fetch event requires careful planning and coordination. We will need Fetch Committee with a minimum of 5 people to organize the event and address any issues that arise. An Event Chair would oversee the event. . Our very own Maureen Pogorzelski is AKC approved as a Fetch Judge, and has agreed to be one of our Judges if we hold a trial.\u00a0<\/p><p>AKC Fetch is a wonderful way to engage with your dog and the community. Whether you\u2019re participating or hosting, it\u2019s an event that brings joy and excitement to everyone involved. With proper planning and a dedicated team, an AKC Fetch event can be a memorable experience for all.<\/p><p>\u00a0The National Specialty Committee would appreciate your feedback. How many of you have participated in Fetch before? At what levels ?

This will include formal Fast CAT competition runs, and also fun trial runs to see if your dog will run the course, time permitting. If you are not familiar with Fast CAT, more information may be found using the links below.<\/p><p>Although it is a relatively new sport, Fast CAT\u2019s popularity has spread like wildfire. Fast CAT\u00ae provides a terrific opportunity to introduce new participants to the world of AKC sports. It is one of the few events where all that&#8217;s needed to compete is a dog\u2019s natural instincts. Fast CAT is a fast-paced, fun activity to both watch and participate in!<\/p><p><strong>What is the Fast CAT? <\/strong>Fast CAT is a timed straight 100\u2010yard dash for dogs. Dogs are held at the start line and the coursing lure is activated prompting the dog to follow chasing it to the finish line and into a catch pen. The course is completely fenced, and dogs are run individually. Dogs are timed when they complete the 100\u2010yard dash. The time is converted to Miles Per Hour (MPH).<\/p><p><strong>Eligibility<\/strong> &#8211; To participate in Fast CAT\u00ae, your dog must be:<\/p><ul><li>At least 12 months of age.<\/li><li>In both

It\u2019s one of the fastest-growing canine sports in the country. Canine agility is a sport where you direct your dog through a pre-set obstacle course in a race for time and accuracy. Cavaliers are especially enjoyable to watch as they race through the course. You can see the exhilaration \u2014\u00a0 their tails wagging and their ears flying out as they leap through tires, jump over hurdles and dive through tunnels. Courses typically have between 14-20 obstacles, which can include tunnels, weave poles, tire jumps, seesaws, and pause tables where the dog must stop for a set amount of time. Each trial features a unique course designed for that day. Dogs race around the courses, relying on the owner\u2019s voice &amp; movement cues, and body signals. Dogs run off leash, without the use of toys or food as motivators. Agility can be quite a rush \u2013 and a great way to build an even deeper bond between you and your dog.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/ackcsc.org\/national\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CH_Creekside_Kiss_Me_Katie.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-358 \" src=\"https:\/\/ackcsc.org\/national\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CH_Creekside_Kiss_Me_Katie-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"267\" height=\"241\" \/><\/a>Want to learn more about agility?
