I've been asked by nongreenthumb if I wanted to make an entry into the GrowFAQ, so here it is.

Sniffer dogs... what you need to know.
By Eatspam

Introduction
Sniffer dogs are possibly the best weapon the police have in their arsenal when it comes to the war on drugs.
They are an unstoppable creature that has no weakness, a beast that never makes mistakes and above all they are out to get YOU!

Well.... not quite, in fact quite the opposite.
Sniffer dogs are simply an animal that has the equivalent to O.C.D or A.D.D. so realistically we’ve all been scared of an animal that has a defective brain and are quite easy to get past if you know how.

What makes a sniffer dog different to a normal dog?
The way a sniffer dog is selected is the trainer will look for a dog with what they call a “ball reflex” (try not to giggle children).
Have you ever seen one of those dogs that whenever it sees a ball or its favourite toy it seems to go nuts, bark, yap, jump around, piss on the floor and then finally when you do throw the ball it BOUNDS across the room so fast it misses the ball and slams face first into the nearest hard object, later resuming consciousness only to see the ball and then starts the whole cycle again?

...yeah that’s the “beast” you’re up against.

Keeping in mind that this dog is actually mentally defective, confusing them suddenly becomes a lesser feat.

How do sniffer dogs work?
The best defence against sniffer dogs is KNOWLEDGE.
The way a sniffer dog trainer teaches a sniffer dog is by taking its toy, making it smell like the drug they want it to be able to find, let the dog smell it until it triggers it’s “ball reflex”, they then hide the ball while the dog can’t see, and then let the dog sniff it out.

A dog will continue to look for this ball while it’s in this frenzy until either it finds the ball or it is distracted by something.

It’s our job to either HIDE that “ball smell” so it can’t be found or distracts the dog so it loses interest in its “ball”.

So how do I distract the dog?
The best way to distract the dog is to introduce another animal, prey, or food.
The aim is to stop it from going into its “ball reflex”.

Quite often if a police officer pulls you up next to a road kill, they will instruct you to move up to 100m up the road so that a sniffer dog won’t be distracted by it.
You can replicate this and even go so far as make it IMPOSSIBLE for the dog to concentrate on finding his “ball” by carrying an animal in the car whenever you carry weed in it.

The only problem with live animals is that they may be removed from the car.
All you really need is the smell of the animal.
This can be replicated by use of hunting lure smells these are made to smell like foxes, rabbits, deer and other game.
Although if you do use these sprays MAKE SURE YOU SPRAY THE WHOLE VEHICLE!

If you only spray one spot the dog will make a response which will be identical to its ball reaction and will give the officer reason to search your car.

How do I hide the smell?
Even though you should always try and distract the dog you should still try and hide your cargo.

First and foremost I’d like to clear up a few things.

Masking the odour with:
Coffee grinds DOESN’T WORK
Pepper DOESN’T WORK
Curry DOESN’T WORK!

As a matter of fact, nothing is out there that can mask the odour of drugs well enough to trick a sniffer dog.

To explain this I must first explain how a dogs scent works.

Imagine a pot of soup.

We look at it and we see carrots, peas, potato, onion, cut herbs...etc.
But we only smell... SOUP.
The reason for this is because our site is so evolved we don’t need a keen sense of smell.

This is the exact opposite for dogs.
They can SMELL carrots, peas, potato, onion, cut herbs...etc
But they only SEE SOUP.

So even if you have a bag of weed inside of a bag of coffee and then taped shut the dog will smell plastic bags, coffee, and WEED (“it’s ball”) and alert the police.

The only way you can hide weed so that a dog won’t be able to find it, is to wear gloves when you handle weed, and place it into a container that has never touched weed or anything else that has touched weed.
Also, try to put as much space as possible between the drug and the dog, so hide things in the centre of the car.
**NOTE**
If you hide weed this way, you should know that no matter how thick the container or what material it’s made from, it the smell will eventually permeate thru the container strong enough for the dog to be able to smell it. So make sure you pack it right before you leave and try to get to your destination as quickly as possible.
*********

How can the dog smell thru a sealed bag/container?
A scent is really a trail of microscopic particles that cling to certain things, and travel threw the air.

These particles are so small that given enough time they can travel thru ANY substance or container.
The smell particles will also stick to just about anything and take a long time to either be removed or dissipate. So if any part of the outside of the bag touches the weed or anything else that has touched weed, the dog will be able to smell it very easily.

What about airport/mail room dogs?
Air port dogs and mail room dogs are VERY hard to get around mainly because you aren’t there to control the situation in mail rooms and in airports the drugs normally have been in their containers for too long and the smell will permeate threw it.

You only have one way to combat the dogs in this situation... LUCK
Only 5-10% of national mail in ANY country is ever inspected.
Only 35-70% on international mail is scanned.

Unfortunately I have no experience in airport security so I cannot give you the percentages on security checks, but I can tell you one thing.
They are still random, and not all people get searched.
I do know however that carry-on luggage is inspected more regularly then checked luggage, so if you do decide to play Russian roulette with the dogs at least pack it in the ways I’ve told you, DO NOT USE ANY FORM OF ANIMAL SCENTS, and above all... don’t try it too often.

Please understand that this is not plagiarism, I used a DVD called "Never get busted again", and had to use some of their explanations (eg. "ball reflex" thing) simply because there's no other way to describe it.

This IS ripped off from Never get busted by Barry Cooper. I own the DVD and ya, you just took his video and changed around some of the words.

Matter of fact it looks like you just watched the free parts of the DVD found on Youtube. You didn't even get into the best stuff. Nice try...

first off if you read the whole thing, I stated where I got my info from.
second off, you are mistaking plagiarism with RESEARCH! of course it sounds the same as the DVD, how else are you ment to explain how a sniffer dog thinks/smells?
You name one place that has this type of information
IN WRITING FOR ALL TO SEE, not just people that want to fork out $30 for a DVD!
and finally, this is already in the FAQ, has been for months, and even rollitup used my entry as an example of a good FAQ article!

next time you try and flame some one, read the whole post first, you'll sound less foolish that way!

Church it up any way you want. Your entire FAQ is a half-assed copy job from the dvd. I stand by that. Don't try to make me out to be some wacko who just dosen't " understand ". Matter of fact I'll " cut and paste " a much better FAQ directly from his video. Keep an eye out for it.

I will judge the plagiarism, if it is on another site it will be disallowed, we have a new growfaq system that we are setting up in wiki format, it is much easier to navigate. You may use articles that are already posted but it must be your thread/post

RIU
here is an example of an excellent FAQ by eatspam:
Sniffer dogs, what you need to know - Rollipedia
This was done a while ago, but still an excellent article.
https://www.rollitup.org/contests/32064-contest-october-26th-november-26th.html

read that, its allowed.
I'm not saying that I came up with all this info myself.
I'm saying that I used this DVD as a resource when writing this, using quotes from the movie because there is no better way to describe it.

I mean come on!, my article is a scientific approch to explain how a sniffer dog works, and how to avoid them. So that would mean that I would be an idiot to try and improve on the explanation given in the DVD, because my knowledge on the topic does not exceed the author of the DVD.

and on top of all that, I even mention the DVD in my bibliography.
In the original version I wrote, I had it in wiki format with chapters, index, glosary, and bibliography. I removed it here because who wants to read a bibliography on a forum post?

If you still don't understand then you should go back to school, and ask your teacher to explain how to write a report, because you obviously don't know how...

The contest will be for whoever can submit the best growfaq entry, this can be for a variety of things that you think the forum needs.
IE: Step by step for cloning, setting up aero system etc.....

The only rule is that it must be yours, nothing copied from another forum or web page, To submit the FAQ please follow these directions, post the article in the appropriate section of the forum, and using a poll allow users to vote as shown above on this thread.

Come back to this thread and paste a link to your entry, otherwise it will get lost in the shuffle.

Good luck everyone!

Just because they left the word "video" out of it along with web pages and forums dosen't mean they won't classify this as cutting and pasting from someone else's work. Same damn thing. But you knew that from the start.

Stealing is stealing. You just copied someone else's homework. I'm still calling B.S. .But it's up to the Rollitup staff to form their own opinion.

I think its a good report as does rollitup, plagiarism is a straight copy from someone elses work, to use sources for references and for research is what reports are about, I thank eatspam for his contribution to the faq, he's one of the few people who actually have. This article was done a little while back before this competition was dreamed up, eatspam took time to write this up. If you look at the end of it, he even said where he used for references and that certain terms may match because of no better way to explain it.

The grow faq that we are trying to replace is just a straight copy and paste mission, someones OWN work like this where they have taken time to research something and write it up.

I thank eatspam for what he has done, and the entry is allowed in the competition. If you don't want him to win, create a better report!!!!

thank you NGT.

like he said, I wrote this before there was a chance of a prize.
If you still think I don't deserve it, write a better report on sniffer dogs without "plagerising", and see if you do better then me!

AND your POINT is????:roll:

Who cares where this info came from???
It was a good read.

Thats odd. I know that they use other types of dogs also. Believe it or not the standard poodle makes a great sniffer dog. It just didn't have the look they wanted and its fur would have been too much work. Poodles aren't the type of thread you want.
They don't and never have used them in this country, ass.

Maybe as guard dogs, but never sniffer dogs.

I always associated German Shepherds as Attack/Guard Dogs, never drug sniffing dogs.

Nevertheless, a nice dog.

I personally think that is one of the MAIN reasons why they started using them; they have such a reputation as being aggressive dogs and are apparently the 3rd most intelligent dogs after border collie and poodle.
There's no doubtr in my mind that there are other dogs with better sniffing abilities than the shepherd.
