What Is NASDA?
Urban Locating – locating quarry scent in an urban-style search area
Trailing & Locating – following a scent trail to locate quarry
Lost Item – finding an item carrying human scent
Shed Dog – searching for naturally shed antlers
Trailing Brace – two dogs working together on a trail
Special games and challenges offered at select events
NASDA gives dogs the opportunity to do what comes naturally—use their noses, solve problems, and work together with their person.
Through the North American Sport Dog Association, dogs may follow a scent trail, locate quarry scent, find a lost personal item, search for a shed antler, or work alongside another dog as a brace team.
At 2K Dog Sports, NASDA is about building confidence, strengthening the relationship between dogs and their handlers, and discovering abilities you may not have known your dog possessed. It is about more than earning titles—but yes, we do have some pretty ribbons too!
Whether you want to try something new, give your dog an outlet for natural instincts, or compete toward titles and awards, there is a place for you and your dog in NASDA.
About 2K Dog Sports NASDA Club
2K Dog Sports is a NASDA club based in Columbus, Montana. We provide opportunities for dogs and their people to learn, train, and participate in NASDA working-dog activities.
Our goal is to create welcoming, well-organized opportunities for both new and experienced teams. We offer training, workshops, trials, and support for handlers who want to explore what their dogs can do.
New to NASDA?
No Experience Needed
You do not need previous scent-work or competition experience to begin. NASDA allows dogs to work independently while handlers learn how to recognize and trust their dog’s natural search behavior.
We can help you understand the different elements, learn the basic rules, and decide which activities may be the best fit for your dog.
Training and Workshops
Training and workshops may be scheduled in Columbus or hosted by clubs, facilities, and groups throughout Montana. Contact 2K Dog Sports if you are interested in arranging a NASDA introduction, practice session, workshop, or trial in your area.
Trials and Premiums
Visit our Trials & Premiums page for confirmed dates, locations, premiums, entry information, schedules, and volunteer opportunities.
