About this episode
Join host Michele Forto as she discusses Getting Started with Scent Work with your Dog on Dog Works Radio. Dog Works Radio is hosted by Robert and Michele Forto and takes listeners into dogs' scruffy, curious, and sometimes heroic world. Let's dive into the delightful and surprising look at our relationship with our K9 Buddies. Scent Work is a sport that mimics the task of working detection dogs to locate a scent (e.g., explosives or narcotics) and communicate to the handler that the scent has been found. Scent Work is a positive, challenging activity that allows dogs the opportunity to use their strongest natural sense in a way that's fun, and engaging, and that builds and strengthens a foundation of trust between the handler and dog.
