Competitions, Events & Assessments
At DogHampton, we love bringing people and dogs together through fun, themed events and exciting training experiences. Throughout the year we host scent detection competitions, trailing challenges, workshops, seasonal events and social activities, giving you plenty of opportunities to train, learn and make lasting memories with your dog.
Whether it's a Halloween hunt, Christmas challenge, summer sniff off, guest instructor workshop or one of our unique search events, there's always something new to enjoy. Our events are designed to build confidence, strengthen teamwork and, most importantly, have fun.
For those looking to progress further, DogHampton is also proud to deliver the United Canine Services (UCS) assessment and competition programme. With structured assessments, recognised achievement levels and friendly competitions, UCS provides a clear pathway for handlers who want to measure their progress and challenge themselves in a supportive environment.
Whether you're joining us for a fun themed event, developing your skills through a workshop, or working towards your next UCS assessment, there's always a new adventure waiting for you and your dog.
