Here is a video of my family dog, "Washee" learning to look for a family member.
The wind is blowing very hard making the scent trail blow around also.
Training note: Sand surfaces hold scent differently than dirt or grass surfaces. By watching and reading the dog on each different surface, the handler learns with the dog what to expect on those surfaces. Every surface type should be worked in training to gradually and eventually learn how scent behaves in each type of surface and environment.
Keep in Mind
Our family dogs can find lost or missing friends and family they know. Our dogs do this every day when they want attention, food or to go outside, they find us. So why not ask them to find mom, or whoever is missing from the pack?
I can show you how,...just ask or read my books or visit the Family Disaster Dogs site.
