It's fascinating to see and hear dogs determining track direction and committing to following a specific person. A similar decision-making process is likely to occur in scent detection and hunting as well. In this study, The deciding phase lasted 3–5s, while the dogs sniffed at 2–5 footprints, before following the track. During the deciding phase, the dogs moved at half the speed and their periods of sniffing lasted three times as long as during the other two phases. https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=819612146203213&set=a.549305146567249
Interessanter Artikel über eine Studie der Universität Oslo über die Fähigkeit der Hunde, die Richtung einer Spur zu bestimmen.
Getestet wurde mit Tracking-Dogs, also Fährtenhunden, die mit tiefer Nase suchen auf Gras und Asphalt.
Aber das Ergebnis spricht für sich.
Nach nur rund vier Metern (2-5 Schritte) auf der Fährte konnten sie die Richtung klar definieren.
Wenn man überlegt, wie gering der Altersunterschied des "Geruchs" auf diesen wenigen Metern ist, kann man sich vielleicht ungefähr vorstellen, wie gigantisch die Nasenleistung unserer Vierbeiner ist....

DETAILS
• Dogs of all ages are welcome, but puppies need their second vaccinations.

• Choose your target odor: a cocktail of nosework scents (birch + anise + clove + wintergreen + cypress + pine), or human scent. It’s up to you.
• Ask us if you want to train another odor e.g. antlers, keys, snakeskins, etc.
• Every participant must sign the waiver to attend, including spectators.
• Prepayment is required and registration is non-refundable.
• The clinic will run, rain or shine.

• Just like competitions and deployments, reactive and aggressive dogs may be present in this busy public area in central Calgary. Dogs must wait in your vehicle until it’s your turn to search. Only one dog will be in the room during the search. Dogs must be on leash and under control at all times unless instructed to take the leash off.
• You will receive more information a few days before the clinic.
