Listen "Effect of training method on detection dog learning rates and generalization"
Episode Synopsis
In this podcast I interview PhD candidate Sarah Kane, Dr.
Lucia Lazarowski, and canine instructors Bart Rogers and Jennifer Davis-Miller on a recent project conducted by Auburn University and Texas Tech University. If you need to train dogs on a range of explosives, how do you do this most efficiently? Do you train one at a time? Do you mix multiple together to make a “stew”? Do you introduce the dog to each of your
odors from the start? In this podcast, the team discusses the results of a study conducted across both institutes to answer these questions!
This study was funded by the Department of Homeland Security, Science and Technology Directorate, Detection Canine Program Office under contract #70RSAT22CB0000002. This podcast represents the position of the researchers and not necessarily that of DHS.
