Sporting Detection

Stimulation - Hunt Instinct - Teamwork

Scent Detection training isn't just for professionals any more, it's an activity that can provide enrichment and help pet owners engage with their dogs!
Train pet dog scent detection for competition or just to have fun.
Trials are held through the Sporting Detection Dog Association (since 2014) and Canadian Kennel Club (as of January 2019)

Instructor:

Roseanna was introduced to tracking by Robin Dawe, Dog Master for the Nova Scotia Department of Lands and Forests in 2007. She started training her dogs in 2009 under Mentor Dave Brundel (Civilian Instructor to the Liechestershire Police Department, Tracking Judge, Working Dog Judge, Obedience Judge, Conformation Judge and the first RCMP Civilian Search Dog Team to make a live find in Alberta) and titled her Malinois and two Beagles in tracking. She was introduced to K9 Nosework in 2012 and in 2013 the Canadian version of the sport became available. Eager to get the sport going, Roseanna taught it across Alberta and hosted Western Canada's first Sporting Detection Dog Trial in 2014.

To date she has earned 16 Sporting Detection Dog Titles on three dogs including the Master Championship and elusive Elite Sporting Detection Dog Title and is a SDDA Judge.
