Scent Discrimination |
| |
| The ability of dogs to differentiate one
scent source from another is called scent
discrimination. It is fundamentally
necessary in the search dog, as it is this
ability which enables a tracking/trailing dog to
home in on its quarry, while ignoring all other
cross paths of humans or animals. It
enables the air scenting dog to search out and
identify to her handler the source of the scent
article (or vice versa in evidence or article
search), even in an area contaminated by other
human scent, and even if that person is standing
among a group of other individuals. |
