NASDA

NASDA stands for North American Sport Dog Association. It is a performance event where dogs will search for a variety of items.  The classes include: 

  • Urban Locating

    • Searching in “Man Made Obstacles Locations” for rats that are in box containers

  • Trailing and Locating

    • Searching in rural locations for rats that are in box containers

  • Shed Dog

    • Searching for shed antlers in rural locations

  • Trailing Brace

    • Two dogs searching in one team in rural locations for rats that are in box containers

  • Lost Item

    • Searching for “Lost Items” that contain the owner’s familiar scent or a stranger’s unfamiliar scent

Within each “class” there are different levels of difficulty so as you advance, your dog has larger areas to search and/or more distractions for your dog.

Below are some photos taken during an Urban Locating (UL-1) trial and a Trailing & Location (TL-1) Trial.
