Scent Work celebrates the "joy of sniffing" for dogs, turning one of their favorite pastimes into a rewarding game. In many dog sports, handlers direct the dog. In scent work, neither the dog nor handler knows where the target oder is hidden. The sport is based on working detection dogs, and uses various odors (Birch, Anise, Clove and Cypress oils) and environments or "elements" (container, interior, exterior, and buried) to test the dogs detection skills. ​
