Dogs’ olfaction have been used for various tasks from hunting to disease identification, sparking scientific interest in the factors that truly influence their olfactory performance. The first author, Attila Salamon from the ELTE NAP Canine Brain Research Group, said that „such tasks require specific training, but the outcomes of the tests conducted with these specially trained dogs cannot be generalized to the entire species.”
