Red Huskies is excited to collaborate with Garrett Dyer for a day of Nosework Games!

Location:

National Capital Trolley Museum
1313 Bonifant Road
Colesville, MD 20905

Jen and Garrett will be designing some FUN, stress-free search scenarios.  There will be 4-6 “searches,” “scenarios,” or games, rather. These are not your standard trial searches.  If you immerse yourself in the game, you should have a fun time. If you prefer to just straight up search for the hides without the added constraints or ask for assistance when searching, that is OK too. The only requirements for this event is your dog must be on all three NACSW odors.

We will be dividing the run order into sessions. The first teams in the run order will consist of teams at the NW1/NW2/NW3 equiv. There will be multiple hides at the NW1/2/3 levels and at least 4 searches.  The second half of the run order will be Elite and beyond and at least 4 searches. There will be more hides than the first group, with larger, more complex search areas and more stringent game scenarios. The search areas may be the same as the first group, but adjusted for the advanced group. Or, we may include additional search areas or games.
All teams may be asked to arrive at the same time and the run order will be divided based on the teams’ levels. Or, we may determine the advanced group can come later and divide the day. We will keep you posted as teams sign up. We expect to brief teams at 830am and finish the day by 5pm.

Since this event takes place at a trolley museum, you will encounter stairs on the way to search areas and within some search areas and will be searching inside trolleys. Some steps within search areas may not have hand rails (steps/stairs into trolleys). Parking will be in the main parking lot with no shade, although plenty of space to walk your dog and large potty areas, and you will have access to indoor restrooms.

Price per team: $185 (25 teams total). A waitlist will be started for when the event fills.

You may reserve multiple spots in either sessions for additional dogs (price is per spot). For example: I have two dogs, Rory and Roo. If I want to run Rory AND Roo on all searches/games, I would pay $185 for Rory and $185 for Roo. I would reserve 2 spots and each dog will get 4 searches. However, if I want to split the searches among Rory and Roo, I would pay $185, reserve 1 spot, and divide the searches/games between Rory and Roo. Each dog will get 2 searches. You may reserve a spot in either session with either dog (for example, one in the novice-intermediate group and one in the advanced group) or both in the same group (for example, two in the advanced group).

You can SIGN UP HERE on Thursday evening around 5pm. Link will be active at that time (or around then if  you know me).

Cancellation policy: a full refund will be given if your spot is filled with someone on the waitlist, or if no waitlist, you can find someone to take your spot. Otherwise, no refund will be given once you sign up, so please plan accordingly. This includes illness. We will make every effort to run teams that arrive late due to emergencies but we are limited to the timeframe by the facility. Payment is needed at registration to secure your spot. If the facility cancels the event and offers the host a full refund, teams will also receive a full refund. If the event is cannot take place or be completed due to reason of fire, civil disturbances, an Act of God, public emergency, or any other cause beyond the control of the event organizers, then the host will make their best effort to provide partial refunds after recouping their expenses. This cancellation policy is not limited to the above as circumstances and situations may change. The host may choose to reschedule, delay, or postpone the event rather than cancel due to bad weather.
