Welcome to the ABIDS / ABI SCENT DOG PROGRAM
All Breed International Scent Dog Program
Up Your Nosework Game
We at ABI are very pleased to introduce our New Scent Dog Programs
Four, separate programs are part of our Scent Dog Program (SDP) and are scheduled to roll out in 2025 -2026.
These programs have been in development for the last four years, and we are thrilled to introduce them to the Nosework enthusiasts' community.
Challenge games are a great complement to Nosework programs that are currently being offered by other organizations.
Challenge Games offers 10 different games carefully built to strengthen, develop, and refine skills needed to be successful in all Nosework Programs.
These games are ideally suited for dogs training at and/or trialing at the Superior level and will provide the opportunity to develop all important skills needed to be successful at these levels as well as the highest levels of Nosework.
Many of the games provide a challenge for Elite-level dogs and provide ongoing challenges for trialing dogs at the Elite level and beyond.
Come and find out about this new and exciting Scent Dog Sport. Stay tuned for Trials scheduled in the Summer of this year. Check the EVENTS page on this website

Scent Dog Program:
Lost and Found
Lost and Found was developed by ABIDS All Breed International Dog shows in 2021, with the
purpose of the program to build on handler discrimination and scent detection skills while
loosely simulating a search and rescue scenario.
The program showcases a dog's ability to work
independently to find an unfamiliar scented object.
It is recommended that dogs have the skills
equivalent to a UKC Advanced Nosework title, Novice Handler Discrimination title, and/or
tracking experience prior to the program.
