Debby Kay has been a pioneer in scent detection work for over 40 years. She worked with the first search and rescue groups where the idea of using dogs to detect cadavers underwater to the training protocols was introduced. She has worked with many scientists to develop dogs to assist in locating biological specimens in the field for research projects; she trained the first toxic waste detection dog, and produced the first proof of concept accelerant detection dog. She has taught detector dog handler teams and instructors from all over the world including developing the Federal ATF’s explosive detection program. Debby teaches Super Sniffer™ workshops for amateur dog owners and professional trainers alike. She has set up several non profit organizations worldwide for Diabetes Alert Dogs and her Sweet Snoopers™ program is now in 22 countries around the world helping people manage this disease better through the use of trained alert dogs.
