For many years people who wanted to train their dogs for outdoor scent work would purchase my book READY! Training the Search and Rescue Dog for the section about scent. My publisher and I decided to take that section out of the book and rewrite it for those people who wanted to do scent work with their dogs; thus Scenting on the Wind was born. While the book targets hunting dogs, it applies to all outdoor scent work. The concepts also apply to scent in buildings.

Scent is very liquid; it moves erratically and is controlled by all the outdoor elements. Since it is invisible, the only way to understand its dynamics is to understand the elements that control it, the wind, weather and terrain. Through many years of research, we have gained a solid understanding of how scent moves.

To a lesser degree, scent in a building is also influenced by the elements. Added to that, it is also necessary to understand what scent is composed of. There is no such thing as an uncontaminated scent article. By understanding all the factors that make up and control scent we are able to help our dogs find and follow scent.

Scenting on the Wind provides diagrams and explanations of the various elements that a dog would encounter in the field. It gives the dog handler the information they need to effectively use their dog as well as help handler understand how and why their dog reacts to scent. The book offers training suggestions as well.

While this book is out-of-print, I have several copies available for purchase. If you would like a copy please email me at sbulanda@gmail.com The copies I have left are $12.00 which includes domestic shipping.
