Have any board members seen or trained dogs to search for mold in residential enviroments? I've been wondering if there is a market here and if it is a real value to the homeowner. Thanks. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I heard that the black mold is highly neurotoxic,I forget the name of the mold...but anyway, maybe a dog could smell it far enough away to not be affected, but I would not train my dog to do it,just in case.
No one ever said life was supposed to be easy, life is what you make of it!!
I'm thinking about changing my tracking training method, I have been shown that using a scent cone brings about a wider area of search and a faster/higher rate of live recovery. The dog learns to work at his pace (yet staying in sight or coming back checking with the handler) without the handler pointing and following slowly behind him/her. It seems to be hold true weather its article or human recovery.
Can anyboby give me some light (should I stay with foot steps or scent cone) on this subject, and is there a way to train foot steps tracking and the use of this marvelous idea the scent cone.
The trainer that showed me the scent cone method, stated you need to teach one or the other a dogs can't do both, Why?
I'm not interested in Schulthund tracking titles (I'm not good enough as a trainer to make my dog do something thats not fun for him, its too tedious) but maybe training/competition for a real event.
Van Camp, I find your icon to be rather disturbing......no offense! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Anyway, Goodogu, I'm not sure I understand your question. For what purpose are you training your dog? If I understand correctly, you're wondering why a dog can't track and air scent simultaneously? Maybe you could start a new thread and rephrase your question.....
