The science of smell
Exploring the dog's sense of smell
The webinar
Dogs are easily trained to detect substances due to their sensitivity and selectivity. In order to train effectively, it is necessary to understand how the dog's nose works. During the webinar we will go into the main scientific research describing the dog's nose and scent perception. We will talk about the development of odour from an odour source, how the dog can perceive the odour. Finally, we will talk about the processing that brings odors from the nose to the brain.
