Current Trials Available in the Region

DODT Volunteer Incentive Program

It’s a fact – we can’t run trials without volunteers.  And we can’t run efficient trials without a good amount of volunteers!  To thank you for your time and support of our trials we will now offer Volunteer Cash!

​

How it works:

  • Sign up to volunteer via the Volunteer Sign-Up Form (if we don’t have this info, we can’t track your cash!)

  • Check-in with the Volunteer Coordinator at the trial

  • Receive an email after the trial with confirmation of your Volunteer Cash.  There’s no coupon, no code, no certificate – we will track your Cash!

 

What you get:

  • Volunteer for a half day (4+ hours) - $5

  • Volunteer for a full day (over 4 hours) - $15

  • Use of your vehicle in a vehicle search - $5

 

Use your Volunteer Cash towards any class, event, seminar, workshop or trial that DODT is hosting!  Email info@dooverdogtraining.com BEFORE registering for any event to let us know you would like to use your Volunteer Cash and we will deduct your Volunteer Cash from the total. 

​

*Sorry, we will not go back into the registration system and make refunds for Volunteer Cash after payment has been made, you have to let us know beforehand that you would like to use it.

*For bookkeeping purposes, Volunteer Cash expires 1 year after the trial you volunteered for.

 

Keep track of your Volunteer Cash by viewing this worksheet.

Mock Trial with Anne Coughlin

Date:  May 3, 2025 @ 10am
Location:  Ischua Paws 'n Play, 2101 Baxter Mills Rd, Hinsdale, NY 14743
​
Prepare for upcoming trials! These searches will follow the philosophy and rules of NACSW™, but they are open to all. No matter what organization you trial with, this will be great practice!

Searches will be timed. Competitors can ask for as little or as much support as they would like.

If you are running multiple dogs at multiple levels, know that some searches may be nested if we need to re-use search areas.

NW1 mock trial: 4 total searches - $40
NW2 mock trial: 5 total searches - $50
NW3 mock trial: 6 total searches - $60
ELT-S mock trial: 4 ELT-S level searches (combination of elements) - $50

The Mock Trial will start at 10am and will run throughout the day starting with NW1 and ending with ELT-S. A run order and estimated time for each level will be sent a few days before the Mock Trial.

Cancellation policy:
Full refund up to 2 weeks before the Mock Trial
50% refund up to 1 week before the Mock Trial
No refund for any cancellations the week before the Mock Trial

This location is also someone’s home, so please respect the property. Any dog found damaging property will be dismissed immediately.
