What is Alert! Scent Work All About?

Scent work is more than a sport. It’s a shared obsession between people and their dogs, where every search is a new adventure and every trial is a chance to learn (and probably overthink things a little). Alert! Scent Work is a podcast for anyone who’s fallen in love with the sniffing game, or is about to and doesn't know it yet.

Hosted by Scot Singpiel, who discovered scent work in 2023 and quickly got hooked, Alert! Scent Work explores the human side of the sport. Through conversations with judges, trainers, handlers, and others from across the scent work world, we dive into the stories, perspectives, and experiences that make this community what it is.

It’s not just about titles or techniques. It’s about the people behind the leash. What motivates them? What have they learned (sometimes the hard way)? What keeps them coming back? From funny trial day moments to unexpected breakthroughs, you’ll hear honest, insightful, and occasionally ridiculous tales from all levels of experience.

We feature voices from across organizations—AKC, NACSW, UKC, CWAGS, DDT, and more, because we believe there’s no one right way to play this game. The heart of the sport is the community, and this podcast is here to celebrate it.

Whether you're competing at the highest levels or just stepping into your first search area, you’ll find something here to spark your curiosity and fuel your love for the game.
