In short, make sure you are using real drugs, as pure as you can obtain. During training is the time to conduct negative tests (some call it proofing) on odors that are associated with the training, but not drug odors. Examples of such would be, plastic bags, pvc pipe etc, if that is what you use to hide drugs in. Other items would be those items commonly found during drug interdiction ie, fabric softner, odorants and other distractors traffickers use in an attempt to throw off the dogs. DFrost Any behavior that is reinforced is more likely to occur again.

I mean doesn't cocain have a distinct enough odor that the trainer should have been able to tell something was wrong when preping containers and hiding them? You always get the dog you deserve...
