NACSW Odor Recognition Test Held Dec. By Linda Grskovich

Oriole held a NACSW Odor Recognition Test (ORT) on Saturday, Dec 15, 2018. 94 tests were conducted; we had 100 tests registered (allowed maximum) with a waiting list, but Maryland’s liquid sunshine kept some folks away. We tested all three odors birch, anise and clove. The officials were: Certifying Official- Linda Grskovich CNWI, Judge - Heidi Meinzer CNWI from Fur-Get-Me-Not in Arlington, Virginia, and Donald Grskovich CNWI as Volunteer Coordinator. Our exhibitors came from Maryland, New York, Virginia, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Due to the efficiency of our great volunteers, the first test was conducted at

Dumbbell Oriole Dog Training Club 9 Azar Ct., Halethorpe, MD 21227 January 2019

Nose Work Presentation On Sat., Feb. 9, 2019 at 11am ODTC will be hosting a presentation by Lauryn DeGreeff, Ph.D., a

Research Chemist from the US Naval Research Laboratory, Washington DC. Lauryn has been conducting

research on Canine Odor Discrimination and Detection.

Lauryn will describe odor detection targeting on a molecular level and the basics of odor development

from an odor source into a plume. She will describe how odor emanates from a target object and how the

dog might perceive this odor. She will also discuss the factors that affect how dogs’ experiences target

odor, target mass versus odor quantity, differences between manufacturers, changes with time and

environmental conditions, and the challenges related to wrapping and burial. She will also present factors

affecting odor availability and methods to prevent contamination of training materials. Finally, a research

study conducted by the U.S. Navy involving NACSW dogs will be described.

This session is open & FREE to all Oriole Dog Training Club members and any DOD Navy research

dog handling team, others are asked to contribute $5. Though the topic is nosework focused, the

information crosses over into other odor related sports like tracking.

Please contact Linda Grskovich at lindobes@verizon.net to hold your space. Light refreshments will be

served following the one-hour presentation.

Shout-Outs!

NACSW Odor Recognition - Many thanks to our volunteers, who not only came out for the

Saturday event but also set up on Friday night: Linda Grskovich, Donald Grskovich, Rachel

Lachow, Debbie Knowles, Sue Cox, Carol Jennings, Deborah Dean, Leslie Wharton, Adrien

Meckley, Shirley Harry, Lisa Jones, Helena Dahlen, Linda Harrison, and Joe Moran . We also had

volunteers from the nose work community who were not ODTC members, many thanks to Gale

Erskine, Ron Storrer and Linda Davis. All made the ORT a great event. Though the day was very

wet, their enthusiasm for the sport was not dampened. Thanks again everyone.

From Monique Bocock: Padmee Amidala v. Adhem (“Kalani”), Daenerys von Adhem (“Khaleesi”) and

I competed in the 2018 AKC Agility Invitational in Orlando, FL 14-16 December. Kalani and I were happy

to make our 5th appearance. Khaleesi, who was ranked 7th coming into Invitational, was one weave pole

short of a perfect weekend and was the number two Entlebucher at the Invitational.

BIO for the Recipient of the 2018 Sidekick Award This year’s recipient is a long time flyball instructor. She attends practices each week with commitment

to the sport, team and students. This person repeatedly shares expertise and advice to students and

seasoned flyball’ers alike.

The dog portion of the team is equally steadfast. He is a true athlete who can be used with green dogs to

teach confidence, passing, and not to chase. This dog is even adept enough to teach green handlers how

to run dogs! He can run anywhere in the line-up, pass any dog without issue, is consistent in the lanes,

and rarely makes mistakes.

The handler portion of the team can always be counted on. This person steps up to do whatever task that

needs doing, often offering to help anyone on the team who needs it.

This is a hardworking and multi-talented team that is truly deserving of our club’s highest Flyball Award.

This year’s Sidekick Annual Award winner is Lauralee McGuire and Sulli.

BIO for the Recipient of the 2018 Prince Award

The person chosen for this year’s Prince Award is very deserving of our club’s highest recognition.

This member has taught classes under 3 of our 4 training directors. I am sure, given the opportunity, that this member will get that 4th category in.

This member has energy to spare. Their enthusiasm and willingness to help are truly amazing. I have

never seen this member in ODTC’s building when they are not helping in some form or another. Either

teaching, helping someone out or volunteering at an event while still finding time to work their own dogs. If an event advertises that help is needed, you can count on this member to show up and help. You can

see this member working at any event that they attend.

This member’s dog is titled in Flyball but has trained in agility, disc dog, dock diving, obedience and

tricks. More activities are most likely in their future.

The recipient for the Prince Award this year is Rose Kane and Moose.
