National Association of Canine Scent Work (NACSW)

The National Association of Canine Scent Work (NACSW) is an organization that trains and certifies dogs and their handlers in scent detection activities. It promotes the development of canine scent work skills through standardized classes, competitions, and certifications. The goal is to enhance the bond between dogs and owners while providing mental stimulation and confidence-building for the dogs. NACSW's programs are accessible to dogs of all breeds and skill levels and are used for both recreational and working purposes, including search and rescue, detection work, and enjoyable enrichment activities.
