Details and registration
Sporting Scent Detection is the fun and competitive version of scent detection for narcotics, termites or explosives. The dog must locate a hidden target scent within an area and alert his handler to its whereabouts- this sport relies entirely on partnership and is a great way to learn how to read your dog all the while enjoying a sport that is based completely on instinct.
