The detail...I loved all different categories that [Laurel] covered and actually demonstrating where the odor is moving with either the smoke, or arrows covering inside outside, shade, sun, high, low, corners all categories. I have listened to it once and just watched, then I listened again and have taken notes and then I will listen again without watching to get all the info into my brain.

This was incredibly helpful! I think about things I've learned in this seminar regularly as I'm teaching my students and setting hides for my own dogs. This should be a requirement for all scent work teachers. Incredibly valuable information! The deep dive into the science. Especially the molecular weights of the different components of the odor. So fascinating!
