Your Dog’s Super Powered Nose!
Did you know that your dog has 25-30 times more olfactory sensory cells than humans do? We have called on our canine friends to help us detect bomb, find drugs, alert humans prior to seizure episodes, screen for cancer, and so much more. Their noses really are a super power and we are so lucky to have them share it with us.
Check out this short TED-Ed video by Alexandra Horowitz about your dog’s incredible nose! Or this paper that dives deeper into the science of working with a dog’s sense of smell.
If you want to dive into your dog’s world of scent, I’m now offering Intro to K9 Nosework classes! Add enrichment to your dog’s life be setting up intriguing scent puzzles for you dog to solve or work towards competing in the sport of Nosework with your dog.
