Scent Work","episode_count":26,"summary":"Alert! Scent Work is a podcast for everyone who's fallen down the scent work rabbit hole — and loves it there. Scot sits down with judges, competitors, and community builders from AKC, NACSW, ASCA, UKC, and beyond for the conversations you've always wanted to have but never had time for on trial day. We talk nose work and scent work training philosophy, competition mindset, and the perspectives that shape how we think about this dog sport. We celebrate the wins, laugh at the disasters, and dig into origin stories — because how did any of us end up here, completely obsessed with watching our dogs use their noses? Whether you're trialing every weekend or just discovering K9 nose work and scent work for the first time, this show is about the whole scent work life — the sport, the dogs, and the community that makes it all worth it.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-07T00:22:25.148447+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/alert-scent-work-7421909"},"episode":{"title":"Ellen Parr | Learning Rules the Hard Way, Reading Beyond the Final Responce, and Still Getting Goosebumps","slug":"ellen-parr-learning-rules-the-hard-way-reading-beyond-the-final-responce-and-still-getting-goosebumps","published_at":"2025-09-15T12:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/alert-scent-work-7421909/ellen-parr-learning-rules-the-hard-way-reading-beyond-the-final-responce-and-still-getting-goosebumps","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/alert-scent-work-7421909","url":"https://www.alertscentwork.com","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/3534bea1-66fb-4cd7-9e6d-54a3f9467cda.mp3","summary":"The distractor rule I learned the hard way from Ellen, and it can make the difference between qualifying or not. It was awkward in the moment, but unforgettable. We came back to that story, along with something I’ve noticed in Ellen's runs: when it looks like an alert to me, but she moves on. That led to a great discussion about the subtle signs of reading your dog and how every dog is unique. We also talk about odor when judging long trial days, how to get more out of watching and video, and the kinds of moments she loves when judging. And through it all, what really stands out is Ellen’s passion. Even after years in the sport, she still gets goosebumps watching dogs solve odor problems, and it’s contagious.","meta_description":"The distractor rule I learned the hard way from Ellen, and it can make the difference between qualifying or not.
