Thank you to each and every one of you for coming to our 1st HD - Scent Detection seminar with Julie Gaboury!

I cannot bring down amazing presenters without your support and willingness to come and learn!

Working spots in both sessions filled FAST, with a waitlist being held. Auditing spots were also filled.

I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to spend the weekend with! I hope you all came away with lots of information, lots of training ideas and a better understanding of the sport of scenting.

Thank you Sue Ailsby for the use of your training space. It was absolutely perfect for our needs.

Huge thanks to Julie for coming down and providing such an amazing, wonderful, and helpful seminar. Your knowledge about the sport is deep, thank you for imparting us with a bit of it.

My biggest take away - search patterns. What they actually mean. Why they are important. How to do them efficiently.

We are so fortunate to have Lianne Matieshin Photography shoot many of our trials in the past. I don't need to tell you her photos are amazing - I know you do, I see your photos posted!

I don't know if you know, however, her time, travel, and facing the elements (like the great rain storm in September) all day long are not a paying gig.

So, THANK YOU ALL for purchasing photos from our events, it keeps her coming back to capture memories! A HD Scent Trial just wouldn't be the same without her!

Thank you Lianne for such amazing photos of our teams playing a silly little sniffy game📷💛

Share some of your favorite pics Lianne has captured for you below!

REMINDER!
The Julie Gaboury Seminar Balances MUST be paid by Nov 1st! (That means when the calendar turns to Nov 1st, 12:00am). This is for both Working and Auditing spots. I am on a waitlist with eagerly awaiting waitlisters for both!

Any balances NOT received by Nov 1st at 12:00am will result in your spot being forfeited, your deposit returned and your name placed at the bottom of the waitlist. This also goes for any balances received AFTER Nov 1st at 12:00am.

I am away until Nov 2nd but will follow the above rule when I return and check my email.

📍📍registration is CLOSED📍📍

🟡Reminder this opens tomorrow at 9am for 48 hours!🟡

⭐️I've had a few questions about entering so I will add clarification here:

If you are debating which seminar to enter, because your team falls into both categories, you may choose both and just let me know which is your preference. If you don't get drawn in your preference, I will add you to the other seminar draw. (Working spots only)

You MAY NOT enter 2 dogs in the same seminar. You MAY NOT switch between 2 dogs in the same seminar spot. You MAY enter a different dog in the AM and PM spot - both will be drawn in the lottery and it does not guarantee entry into both seminars if you get drawn into one.

If you don't get drawn for a working spot in either seminar you will be give the option to audit without going through the lottery process.

NO registration forms will be accepted AFTER 9am (Sask time) on Oct 3rd according to the time on MY computer. If you don't receive confirmation on your registration, by Oct 5th at 9am, then it hasn't been accepted. If spots remain I will open up another round of registration.

ALL WORKING SPOTS AUTOMATICALLY GET AN AUDIT SPOT ⭐️

HD - Scent Detections Nov 22 - 23 seminar with Julie Gaboury opens for Registration soon! Located just outside Regina.

Entries OPEN Oct 1, 2025 at 9am and CLOSE Oct 3, 2025 at 9am.

I expect this seminar to fill and overfill. Working spots will be decided by lottery. Auditing spots will be decided by lottery if needed. There are 6 working spots and 12 auditing spots available for each seminar (AM OR PM) over the weekend. Seminars are 4 hours in length each day (continued training over the weekend) giving each team a good amount of time with Julie to train.

📍for working spots: at this time we are only accepting registrations for teams who are able to commit to the full weekend session.

📍registrations will not be accepted after the 48 hour window closes. Confirmations will be sent out by Oct 4th. A waitlist will be started.

📍all other information (cost, details about each seminar etc.) is in the Entry Form attached. If you would like a Word Document Entry Form please let me know.

We will also very likely be having a games trial on Nov 21st late afternoon/early evening! Details on that to come soon!
