Scent Hurdling

Similar to flyball, scent hurdle racing is also a team sport for dogs. Two teams of four dogs each race each other across side-by-side obstacle courses of four jumps to a platform holding scented dumbells. One at a time, each dog must cross the four hurdles to the platform, pick out the dumbbell with its owner’s scent and bring it back across the jumps. The team with the fastest time wins.
