100 Box Dog Challenge

The "100 Box Dog Challenge," presented by Hi Standard Dog Training in partnership with Positive Changes Dog Training, is set to be a thrilling experience for canine teams. Scheduled for the evening of May 9, 2026, this inaugural scent-work event emphasizes teamwork, focus, and training acumen among dogs and their handlers. Participants will navigate through 100 boxes in pursuit of specific target odors, with skill-based divisions that cater to novice, advanced, and experienced duos. The challenge promises to highlight the unique synergy between handlers and their canine companions in a purpose-driven setting.
