There’s a whole world of scent, which allows dogs to detect everything from bombs to cancer. But because air is invisible, humans are generally unaware. Scentscapes videos show how scent flows in common search environments, according to airflow, aging, convergence, temperature, & humidity impact scent. Watching Scentscapes videos will teach your more than you’ll ever learn from a book!
