That doesnt work SD,... its another of those rumours that gets spread around,.. if we are talking about ground scenting,................we say a dog `sniffs`,... but he doesnt sniff in the way we do, i.e. shiffs and brings stuff into the nose,... when a dog scents, he is only breathing as normal, and doesnt touch the ground, so the like of ground glass or mustered wouldnt bother the dog.

and just incse a dog doesnt bring something into its nose, it is able to blow it back out again just as easily

A dog is also able to `air scent`, his nose is no-where near the ground here,... it all depends on how the dog has been trained

Yes indeed, Highlander is correct. Some other 'old wives tales' would be:- Stronger scents used to mask a scent will confuse/put off a scenting dog. If a dog hasn't got its nose on the deck its not tracking, (a dog will follow the scent in the terrain be it blown by wind or flushed further away by rain/standing water) the dog is on the trail even if the trail moves from its original path.Wink Some trackers don't realise this and think that the dog is off trail.Undecided
