There are realities of Scent Work trials across all competition organizations. Better understanding the perspective of trial hosts, trial officials and accomplished competitors can help the community put in place helpful suggestions to further improve these events. This virtual symposium is designed to achieve just that!
We are honored to host a superb panel of professionals who will share their insights and suggestions during this roundtable on how we can improve Scent Work trials.
