Contrary to the picture, we did not clicker train cats.. but we did finally demonstrate faster learning and improved task acquisition in clicker trained dogs, which comes as no surprise to most but validates what many trainers know and shows benefits for detection dog training

After two years in the making, it’s finally out! It was an honor to bring together experts in the field to provide deep dives into all aspects of canine olfaction science. Very grateful to all of the contributors that made this possible.

@pb_super_fan Thanks! The test used here was validated in a previous paper in terms of inter-rater reliability, convergent validity (using CBARQ), and predictive validity https://t.co/2mEacLaFUv
In our latest study we followed up with a cohort of candidate detection dogs 2 yrs after completing training. We found that puppy testing @ 3 mo was predictive of current working status, & longitudinal stability of certain traits from 3 mo to 3 yrs 🐾 🐾

@CarlosEAlvare17 Oops, could’ve swore it was in that paper. I’ll have to look for it, but we have observed higher detection abilities in the GWP cross (which is why we introduced the breed) and also more fearfulness
