Last year\, a study led by Texas Tech and Virginia Tech set out to answer a crucial question: could pet dogs be trained to detect and help control the spread of this highly destructive pest? \n\n\n\nAWS’s own trainer\, Melissa McCue-McGrath\, along with six dogs from her scent work classes\, were selected to represent Maine in this effort. These teams pivoted from recreational scent work training to the task of finding SLF egg masses—a crucial step in combating this ecological threat.  \n\n\n\nJoin us to hear how these dogs and their handlers persevered in learning to recognize SLF scent detection amid the challenges of a harsh Maine winter. This presentation will take you through their inspiring journey to support a healthier ecosystem and offer a glimpse into how pet dogs can make a real difference! \n\n\n\nYou will also have a chance to meet one of the canine heroes firsthand! One of the six dogs from the study will be present at the event to lead a demonstration. \n\n\n\nAttendance automatically qualifies you for our raffle prize: a free dog training class! \n\n\n\nPlease leave your pet dogs at home. This is a people-only event.
