Join us to learn about the latest advances in canine scent detection, and take your scent detection to the next level at the WDDO 15th Annual Conference. There's only one week left to register for live online seminars on April 8-9, 2021. You can’t beat the price, at $50 for two days of K9 Scent Detection Seminars, presented by industry experts, where you can get answers to your questions. You'll also get access to recordings after the event.
All levels of experience are welcome. This is an opportunity for detector dog professionals and enthusiasts to recover from the gap in training forced in 2020.
