In this episode of K9 Conservationists, Kayla speaks with Lindsay Ware of Science Dogs of New England about breed selection for unique uses, big game tracking, and more!
Science Highlight: Effects of learning an increasing number of odors on olfactory learning, memory and generalization in detection dogs
- Different dogs place different priorities that we really have to be aware of
How do you start training a dog for tracking?
- Similar to the conservation world with hides, but instead they are mock trails using animal blood or animal hooves
- The goal is to not be 100% realistic, but to be able to gradually increase the difficulty
- Train alongside an experienced dog
