Examining shaping of two odor detection dogs
Journal of Veterinary Behavior, 2023 The use of odor detection dogs provide many benefits to society. However, little has been done to empirically examine the learning procedure methodology used to train detection dogs. This study aimed to create a quantifiable shaping plan allowing the measurement of initial odor learning for detection dog training.
