At the University of Pennsylvania's Working Dog Center, puppies begin scent training at around eight weeks old, starting with a sniff-and-reward game before progressing to real targets. Lucky, a German Shepherd, has become the first dog in the United States trained to detect spotted lanternfly egg masses. Studies indicate trained detection dogs can locate the invasive pest's eggs reliably, offering a new tool against its spread.
