Training detection dogs is a fun and rewarding thing for both humans and dogs alike. There are countless odors that dogs are trained to detect including drugs, explosives, counterfeit money, people, cadavers, peanut butter, cell phones, cancer and just about anything else you can imagine.
Training dogs to detect odor taps into the dogs strongest sense, smell. The dog's nose is thousands of times more powerful than ours, essentially they see with their nose. I've done other video lessons on teaching scent detection. this one is a little different. In this lesson I focus on the dog doing what's called a passive indication. This would be used more likely to indicate on explosives, but the fundamental skill is essential for all detection.
