PACE Team Games – Michele Ellertson

Agenda / Program

This is the first PACE Team Games event in Australia, hosted by Canine Education Academy, brought to Australia with Michele Ellertson from The Dog’s PACE.

PACE Team Games are an unsanctioned nosework event that focus on teamwork, strategy, and problem solving in a fun and low-pressure environment.

Exact start and finish time will be confirmed closer to the date.

🧩 Event Format

• Teams consist of two dog/handler pairs
• Teams work together across a series of games
• Some games are completed by one team while the other assists, and other games may involve alternating or shared team participation
• Strategy and decision-making form part of the challenge

🤝 Team Spirit Award

A Team Spirit Award will be presented to the team that best demonstrates:

• Effective teamwork and communication
• Positive support for teammates
• Sportsmanship and attitude
• Costumes and themes are optional but highly encouraged!
• Auditors are welcome to collaborate as a team supporter!

Why audit? It’s a great way to enjoy the games at a lower cost and gain new insights into search strategies. Bring a chair, notebook, and immerse yourself in the learning.
