About Us

Odor Ops LLC was founded by David Ljunggren, a seasoned K-9 handler and UPWDA Master Trainer with over 20 years of dog training knowledge and experience. His mission is to elevate the standard of odor detection through education, precision, and real-world application.

Drawing on two decades of hands-on experience across multiple aspects of canine behavior, David recognized a critical gap in traditional detection work. Handlers were being taught how to search, but not why odor behaves the way it does. Odor Ops was built to close that gap.

Grounded in modern odor theory and operational application, David’s instruction emphasizes understanding vapor pressure, headspace, displacement, and environmental influence which is the scientific principles behind every detection search. His workshops are designed to bridge the divide between practical deployment and odor science, building more confident, consistent, and effective handlers.
