Our initial Decoy Seminar at Ft Monroe has reached its conclusion. It proved to be an amazing and eye-opening occasion! Pictures and videos will be posted shortly.

I came across a fascinating publication on the science of odor availability in canine detection training. The article reinforces the core of our education beliefs at ASCTI. It covered the basics of the following;

1) Odor Availability in Closed Systems:
a) Odor dispersal in closed systems is influenced by factors like surface area, temperature, and the permeability of the containment material.
b) Larger surface areas or permeable materials lead to faster odor equilibrium, making scent detection quicker for canines.
2) Set Time and Equilibrium:
a) The publication emphasizes the importance of "set time," the period needed for a training aid to reach a stable odor concentration in its environment.
b) Reducing set time without compromising the consistency of odor availability is a valuable goal.
3) Impact of Environmental Variables:
a) Factors like temperature and airflow significantly impact how odors disperse. Warmer temperatures accelerate the release of odor molecules, while airflow aids in dispersal.

It inspired me to create a prototype scent box designed to solve common training challenges. We are limited to the surface area and the size of the environment we want to set our training aides. The box I designed uses a battery-powered system to speed up scent dispersal, cutting down the wait time in closed systems. It also creates interesting ways to utilize open areas as well by ensuring consistent odor availability.
I will be testing this, and if you're interested, give us a shout, and we can tell you about our progress.

The American Society Of Canine Trainers International (ASCTI) is a world-renowned canine training company that certifies working dogs all over the globe. Whether it be human tracking, narcotics detection, explosive detection, or accelerant detection, ASCTI K9 teams have had success in both patrol and detection work.

Here at Hundar K9, all of our dogs train and certify under ASCTI guidelines. We base our training off of the same science-based principles. We focus on the “why” behind the dog’s motivation, behavior, and learning habits, helping the handler and their K9 partner become a more cohesive unit and effective team.

All four of Hundar K9’s founders/instructors are currently working with a certified canine in the law enforcement community.

You can find more information on ASCTI on our website, or the ASCT website.
