Fred Helfers joins us again to discuss the sport and fun of nosework. Fred is a retired police detective who got his start with detection dog training over 40 years ago. He is a certified canine nosework instructor and offers training resources on scent detection, which you can find out more about on his website, fredhelfers.com.
Fred talks about the ins and outs of canine nosework: from talking about his time working with detection dogs in US Customs to explaining how a dog's sense of smell helps them understand the world. Most importantly, learn how you can get involved in the wonderful world of nosework!
