NACSW Program

The organization that started it all, NACSW is considered the "golden standard" by many. NACSW consists of two divisions: the education division which focuses on training and certifying instructors and the trial division which focuses on the competition aspect.

NACSW trials offers the four traditional search element classes: Interior, Exterior, Vehicle and Container. There are a variety of levels offered through NACSW, which are sequential and progressive in nature starting with the ORT and moving onto NW1, NW2, NW3, Elite and Summit. Element Specialty and Elite Premier Trials offer unique trialing experiences as well.

With our NACSW Program, gain the skills you and your dog need to confidently and competently compete in a NACSW trial.
