It is that time of year again...when you look at all of the organizations you participate in and ALL the membership fees you must pay. It can be enough to make a person run to the hills! Extra expenses after Christmas are never fun. You might start to take inventory and begin to wonder - do I need to renew with everyone?
One membership we highly recommend is with the Sporting Detection Dog Association (SDDA). Maybe, rather than renewing you haven't taken that leap yet and are wondering why you should become a member. What does it gain you? Here are few reason's we think it's a great idea!

Reason's to Become a Registered Participant (RP) of the SDDA:
- It helps to support an amazing organization, an organization who has helped bring the sport of Scent Detection to Canada and made it a "game" anyone can play.
- It only costs $30 CAN, or $50 if you sign up for a family membership with other members in your household!
- Trials open to RP members 3 days before the public, if you live in an area where trials are hot commodities this can make or break whether you get in or not as spaces fill quickly!
- Being a RP member allows you to host Designated Odor Tests (DOTs) or Trials.
- RPs get quarterly Newsletters from the SDDA with fun new information, brags, and interesting articles
** Please note RP member needs to be renewed annually, while your dogs registration is for life.
