(Formerly known as Citizen Science)
The goal of the Odor Learning and Scent Detection Program is to provide an enriching course for dog/owner teams using the PVWDC philosophy of positive reinforcement to learn how to recognize a target odor and find this odor in different types of detection scenarios. Your dog will learn to detect the training odor used at the PVWDC (Universal Detection Compound; UDC).
UDC is a safe man-made odor that resembles no other odor, meaning handlers of odor working dogs will not have to worry about it impacting their dog in odor detection competition or real-life work.
Through participation in our Odor Learning and Scent Detection Program, you and your dog will have a unique, fun experience together while learning techniques that will enhance your dog’s odor detection skills for sport, work, and life enjoyment.
