Buried Searches: The Buried search element simulates the task of Human Remains Dogs to search for scents that have been buried under the ground.
Buried Novice Class: Six lidless containers (such as plastic bins) will be placed in the search area, in two rows of three, at least 36 inches apart . The search area must be at least 150 but not more than 200 square feet. Each of the containers will hold at least three inches of sand or soil, and one of those will have the scent vessel containing Birch, buried two inches down. The dog has two minutes to locate the target scent and communicate the find to its handler.
