What ScentBook does

Every scent work competitor knows the moment: entries close tomorrow, and you cannot remember whether your dog needs one more Interior leg at Advanced or two. AKC Scent Work carries the heaviest bookkeeping of any dog sport — four elements (Container, Interior, Exterior, Buried) across four levels (Novice, Advanced, Excellent, Master), plus Handler Discrimination and Detective. That is more than sixteen independent leg counters per dog. Trial in NACSW too and you add a completely separate ladder — ORT, NW1 through NW3, Elite, Summit — that lives in a spiral notebook, because no tool tracks it. Most handlers manage all of this with a printable PDF, a box of ribbons, and hope. ScentBook replaces the whole system with one colored grid per dog. Log each search ringside in seconds — element, level, search time, hides found and missed, faults, Q or NQ, judge — and the grid lights up: every cell shows exactly how many legs you hold and how many the next title needs. The title engine reads the official requirements, so the answer to what to enter next is always one glance away, computed across every venue you run. Already mid-career? Backfill years of history in minutes by tapping legs straight into the grid. Trial day gets its own mode: your running order for the day, a warm-up countdown, and a per-search note pad for the details you swear you will remember and never do — which corner held the hide, what the wind did, where your dog false-alerted. Over time those notes become the analytics screen: which element costs you the most NQs, how your search times trend by level, and where the training hours should go. ScentBook works completely offline, because trial sites barely have cell service. There is no account, no login, and your record never touches a server. Multi-dog households — most of this sport — keep every dog's grid, ladder, and history side by side. Your titles are the product of years of training; the record of them should be permanent, in your pocket, and yours. • Colored element-by-level leg grid for AKC Scent Work, per dog • NACSW ladder tracking from ORT through NW3, Elite, and Summit • Ringside run logging: time, hides found and missed, faults, Q or NQ • Title engine computes exactly which legs the next title needs • Grid-tap backfill for pre-app trial history • Trial-day mode with running order, warm-up timer, and search notes • Element and search-time analytics to target training • Fully offline, no account, works at cell-dead trial sites
