  • My latest obsession

    I have become obsessed with the sport and found this podcast to be an amazing resource. Love the judge interviews and the competitors from the first champion nationals. My favorite question for judges is about their signature distractors. Love the judges insight

  • I look forward to Mondays now!!

    Scot does a fantastic job of finding interesting people to interview. I always learn something about scent Work, something about dogs and most importantly lots about creating a strong working team filled with compassion and willingness to work through tough scenarios. It’s interesting to hear how judges and other competitors remember their most challenging times as well as the most successful times. Can’t wait for season 2.

Patrice Dodd | The Power of Presence and Attention in Scent Work

Patrice Dodd | The Power of Presence and Attention in Scent Work

Paying attention to where the dog shows interest and ensuring teams explore both directions in container searches to maximize the dog's opportunities to find odor.
Mary Quinn | Judging AKC Master Nationals
Q: What advice would you give to competitors after a tough day?
Let it go, remember the dog is still with you and happy, and focus on trying again another day rather than dwelling on a single poor result.

Q: What stood out about the finals and the scoring format?
