Offri un treat a Zita Polgar - Scent Quest

Hello, I'm Zita, a certified scent detection instructor located in North Somerset. My passion lies in all things nosework, particularly in its ability to forge stronger connections between people and their dogs.

My journey into canine behavior began in the world of research, where I conducted studies focusing on dogs' search behaviors and the nuances of their sense of smell, including studying variations across breeds and even in comparison to wolves.

My interests quickly turned to animal welfare, and for the past decade, I've dedicated myself to enhancing the welfare of kenneled dogs, employing a blend of research and hands-on experience as a certified shelter behaviorist.

Since returning to the world of scent detection with my own dog durng the pandemic, I made the decision to become a scent work instructor.

I started Scent Quest to share the amazing world of canine scentwork with others, regardless of their circumstances. This is why I often share easily digestible summaries of the latest research in scent detection, video tips, as well as offering reduced cost lessons and running free events for dogs in shelters.

If you think anything I've shared is worth a little brownie or a cup of tea or piece of cheese for my dog, I thank you greatly for your support 🐾
