The first challenge on your NNA journey is the Odour Recognition Test.
Measuring the dog’s understanding of the target odour and their ability to work methodically to find a number of hides over multiple distractions.
On first look, it may appear simple but it will test the handler’s skill & line management whilst you navigate the search patterns as a team throughout the different ORT stages.
Why not give the practice sessions a try – you can find your nearest ORT host & assessor on the interactive map below.
