About Competition Scent Dog Trials

Competition Scent Dog Trials are conducted with the utmost credibility and closely simulate real-life operational searches.

Founded by passionate handlers and dedicated scentwork enthusiasts, we are proud to be the only scentwork trials organisation in the UK where all of our Trial Managers, Judges and Creators possess City & Guilds credentials as both scent detection dog handlers and instructors. This ensures our trials are conducted to the highest standards and can be trusted.

Competition Scent Dog Trials was created to provide a professional, fair and fun environment where dog and handler teams can test and showcase their scent detection skills. We believe that every dog has the potential to excel, and our trials are designed to challenge, inspire and celebrate their remarkable abilities. Any breed, 10 Months old or over, can enter CSD Trials.

Our aim is to give you and your dog the best experience we can that is fun and relaxed.

With Competition Scent Dog Trials it’s all about the search!
