Sniff that Marijuana

    I think it would be fun to have a dog that could sniff out weed, too.

    I attended a seminar with a well-known trainer who runs a search and detection academy, among other things.  She brought one of her own dogs, who is obviously trained in scent discrimination.  After the end of the last day, folks were milling around and her dog alerted on one of the cars in the parking lot.  Belonged to an employee of the facility...  She HAD to reward the dog for a correct alert, but it would have been an illegal "search", so he couldn't be in trouble with the law.  Instead, we just got to tease that employee for months...!

    Wow, It's amazing how a simple frowned upon question can lead into a whole other story![sm=talker.gif]

    Perhaps instead of marijuana detection, you could find a local group to do SAR work..... you really never know what you're going to find in the woods. " Wow thats an odd plant growing by the cave over there..........." turns out the guy wasn't lost, he was high.
