air scenting

Air scenting is a technique used by scent detection dogs, where they locate something based on its odor in the surrounding air. The dog is trained to identify and focus on the specific scent they’re searching for, such as human scent or certain objects. They use their highly sensitive noses to pick up particles or molecules that drift in the air, allowing them to detect hidden or distant sources of the scent. This method relies on the dog’s incredible olfactory sense, enabling precise searching even in complex environments.
