    Scent Work is a sport that mimics the task of working detection dogs to locate a scent (e.g., explosives or narcotics) and communicate to the handler that the scent has been found. Scent Work is a positive, challenging activity that allows dogs the opportunity to use their strongest natural sense in a way that’s fun, and engaging, and that builds and strengthens a foundation of trust between the handler and dog.

Love it!

I’ve listened to DWR for some time now. Michelle’s knowledge is absolutely amazing. She’s so willing to assist in any dog issues.

Wonderful podcast on dog mushing and more

Thank you for this wonderfully informative and entertaining podcast. I’ve only recently found this podcast as I was looking for reporting on the Iditarod this year. I have already learned so much new info about the race, the mushers, and the dogs. Your reporting is enlightening and your passion for the dogs and mushing is obvious and contagious. I look forward to getting to know more about the hosts of the show and to catching up on the archive and the episodes to come. Thank you!!!
