SCENT DISCRIMINATION is the dog's unique ability (because of their fantastic and unique olfactory system) to locate a trained odor in an area laden with hundreds or thousands of other "scents".
For example, when a canine is searching vehicles for trained odors at a vehicle check point it will come into contact with hundreds of "scents" such as exhaust fumes, perfume, cigarette smoke, oil perspiration, diapers and food. The dog will be able to discriminate between all of the various "scents" to find the trained odor of explosives that are hidden at the door seams of a particular vehicle.
In this level of our training, we can see how Ego mastered his Scent Discrimination ability by successfully locating the trained odor/training aid used while disregarding all the other scents in the area, specifically, detergent powder, black pepper, brewed coffee, vinegar, dried fish, ground pork, meat, and balot. Which is very impressive because in actual operations, there are a lot of cases wherein the dog usually tends to sit upon smelling scents like food, detergents, perfumes, and etc.
We can see that as time goes by, the difficulty of Ego’s trainings accelerates but Ego always pulls it off through hardwork, drive, and of course, the skills and patience of his trainor. 😎

What is the difference of scent from trained odor?
Scents:
Scents is used to describe all other "smell" other than the trained odor.
For example, a hamburger possesses and gives off food" scents"
Trained odor:
Any odor that canines are behaviorally trained to locate. For example, an explosive detection dog is trained to locate several explosives "odors".
We train Ego by using different toys and foods scents as distractions. In this video, he did not touch the ball or eat the foods presented. Also, no training aids were used but Ego did not false indicate which shows that he knows how to distinguish the trained odor from different kinds of scents. 💪

Another training video of our 3 month old pup, Ego. This time with tennis balls. You can see in the video that Ego is well trained to disregard these distractions and focus on the specific scent which is the main goal. 👌🏼

Puppies at an early age are known to be playful and are not yet matured to undergo serious trainings such as Explosive Detection. But through hardwork, patience, and dedication, we were able to train Ego at only 3 months old. 💯
