Change Of Behavior Cob

A characteristic pattern of behaviors, as interpreted by the canine handler that occurs when the canine detects a trained odor/scent. This differs from other olfactory interest that otherwise are exhibited by the canine in response to the daily environment. The initial change of behavior typically leads to following the odor/scent to its source/target. The pattern of behavior may be unique to each canine. (See interest.)
