Performance Scent Dogs, Inc is a registry and certifying organization for the exciting sport of scent detection. Any dog, at any age, can learn to follow its nose to a target odor—just like military and police dogs searching for explosives or drugs.

From Dachshunds to St. Bernards, all dogs have a natural hunting instinct. Channeling that drive into finding specific scents is easy and fun.

Dogs love scent work because they lead the search—they have the nose! Imagine asking your dog to find a single scented cotton ball in a field or a hidden swab under a table.

Scent work helps active dogs burn energy, builds confidence in shy dogs, keeps older dogs sharp, and most importantly, strengthens the bond between dog and owner.
