Scent Detection Training
Scent detection isn’t just for police dogs — it’s a powerful, enriching tool for dogs of all kinds.
Whether you need help managing your pet’s separation anxiety, work with a K-9 unit, need a service animal*, or want to build a stronger bond through mentally stimulating activities, Dog Behaviorist Atlanta scent detection training taps into a dog’s most powerful sense: smell.
Led by our certified dog behaviorist trainer, Bruce, our programs are tailored to enhance focus, build confidence, and channel your dog’s energy.

Separation Anxiety
Scent detection training can help soothe dogs with separation anxiety.
Over the course of several weeks, we will help your dog learn to associate specific scents with pleasure and relaxation, thereby easing their anxiety when you are away.
