SCENTMasters

A diverse, international team of practitioners who teach and apply odor-based biodetection using standardized odor signatures — operationally proven, scientifically explainable, and legally defensible.

Setting The Standard

Setting The Standard

SCENTSOURCE SCENTMASTERS are a diverse set of practitioners who have been implementing odor-based detection training through their use of ScentLogix™ for over a decade to imprint and train dogs within the detection K9 industry, nationally and internationally.

Over this period, they have used the concept and principles of odor-based detection training, in conjunction with other skills in their diverse toolbox, as part of their theoretical teachings of odor theory and scent detection and for the odor-detection training and certification of at least 120 dogs each, using odor-based training aids as represented by ScentLogix™ for imprinting and maintenance training.

Some of these practitioners have also been involved in the fundamental research and development work that led to the establishment of odor-based training aids and methods incorporated into the SCENTSOURCE paradigm.
