FAQ
How do I register my dog?
Follow this link to our easy online registration form HERE.
Do I need to register my dog for each different type of sport?
No! Once your dog has a registration number with National Dog Sports, you’ll use the same number for any sport.
Can my rescue dog compete or is this only for purebreds?
All breeds and mixes can compete! Some events have minimum age limits that you’ll need to watch for but no breed restrictions exist and dogs from all types of backgrounds are encourged to compete with us!
Can I just show up at an event and enter?
No- you’ll need to register your dog in advance, and complete the entry procedure for each event. Entries will usually close 1-2 weeks in advance of the competition date.
What’s the difference between a Test and a Trial?
A Trial is always put on by an official host and has an element of competition involved. A Test can be put on by a host or submitted virtually and requires proving specific skills described in the test standard. Both Trials and Tests offer the option to work towards titles.e
Our club already hosts trials from a different organization. Can we also host NDS trials?
