Ok well the story is my parents where coming to visit so i had to put my stash away ( hide it real good) so good i can not find it. I knew i should not have been stoned when i putting it up.

Well my question is, I have a doberman and i want to teach her how to find my stash. How do you do this.

I figure Hagen's nose will work better than mine and i have already spent a good bit of time looking for it.

I have read the post guideliness and i am pretty sure since i am not getting the dog stoned that there should be no problem with me asking this. But if there is i am sorry and please close.

Here is a pic of Hagen such a good dog now if i can only teach her how to find MARY.

i dont know anything about this but i think your best bet would be associating something he likes with the smell of Mary-J. Also associate a name with (mary) it and then when you say the name he should search for the smell. thats just my opinion, not promising anything. that what i would try. if that doesnt work maybe look something up on the internet. good luck and thats a great idea.

i saw something on TV about training bomb sniffing dogs, and i think that they put some explosive in a drawer and led the dog to it, and when the dog sat they would play with him and say good dog and then start it again over and over. something like that.

so maybe put some bud in a hidden place and when your dog goes over to it reward her with a cookie or praise, and just keep doing that untill she goes towards the smell in desire of the reward.

Ya those sound like some good ideas i think i will begin training her this weekend and maybe i can get that stash found

I thought they got the dogs high to search for weed and cocaine. If a dog likes something like getting high, i would assume that he would reconize the smell and attempt to get to it. I wouldn't suggest getting your dog high though, because that is against posting guidelines

no they dont do that, as a previous poster said they get the dog to associate finding drugs/explosives/whatever with reward.

I read this topic and found it very interesting.

No doubt one could find some information about this on the internet.

Here is a bit of something I found.


People often wonder if dogs sniff out hidden drugs because they want to eat them, or because they're addicted to drugs themselves. In fact, the dogs have absolutely no interest in drugs. What they're actually looking for is their favorite toy. Their training has led them to associate that toy with the smell of drugs.

The toy used most often is a white towel. Police dogs love to play a vigorous game of tug-of-war with their favorite towel. To begin the training, the handler simply plays with the dog and the towel, which has been carefully washed so that it has no scent of its own. Later, a bag of marijuana is rolled up inside the towel. After playing for a while, the dog starts to recognize the smell of marijuana as the smell of his favorite toy. The handler then hides the towel, with the drugs, in various places. Whenever the dog sniffs out the drugs, he digs and scratches, trying to get at his toy. He soon comes to learn that if he sniffs out the smell of drugs, as soon as he finds them he'll be rewarded with a game of tug-of-war.

As training progresses, different drugs are placed in the towel, until the dog is able to sniff out a host of illegal substances. The same method is used for bomb-detection dogs, except various chemicals used to manufacture explosives are placed in the towel instead of drugs.



Hope this helps.
