Webinar: Air vs. Odor Movement: What Every Handler Needs to Know
COST:
$40 for General Public (incl. Lapsed NACSW Instructors and those who have registered for an instructor course but have not yet attended Segment 1)
$30 for NACSW Instructors (CNWI/ANWI/PNWI) in active status
INSTRUCTOR:Lindsay Waldrop, PhD
DATE/TIME: Thursday August 20, 2026 / 10:00 am – 11:30 am Pacific Time
WEBINAR DESCRIPTION:
Understanding how odor moves is essential for handlers who want to accurately interpret their dog’s behavior during a search. While air movement plays a role, it is not the same as odor movement—and confusing the two can lead to misreads in the field. This webinar breaks down the fundamentals of odor behavior, including plume formation and odor availability, and explores how air movement influences—but does not define—odor movement. Handlers will also learn practical ways to visualize airflow so you can better predict and understand how odor is actually traveling in your search environment.
NACSW CEUs: 3 for CNWI
