hahahahahahahahaha

It's the only revenge on human they have had

Thanks for the info, im from Philippines and fascinated by trailing dogs.

So what happens on breezy or windy days? Does the scent actually linger like a cloud or is there more to it?

So if there a wind, or its longer than a few hours, it would be difficult to do trailing??

@@value8035 @Nermin C - Wind definitely seems to move and scatter the scent cloud. Without any wind, the scent just centers on the person, and radiates outward, like a scifi force field. Imagine the person is a lightbulb, and light shines out in all directions away from him. Only this is scent and not light, so it's smellable and not visible. The scent has a tendency to settle down around the person like a big bubble. So in zero wind, it's difficult for scent dogs to find a person at a distance, until they run right up on the person. But fortunately there is usually SOME wind. And wind changes everything. It blows the scent from a person or object away, downwind, for starters. This causes the scent cloud to be prolonged, as opposed to just being centered on the person or object. It's kind of like how a light from the side will cause a person or object to cast a prolonged shadow on the ground. And this long, outreached scent trail is something that a trailing dog can catch quite easily, sometimes from a long distance away. Also, over time, the scent cloud dissipates and diverges. IOW, it starts to spread and thin out. Everyone has seen how smoke from a cigarette or an open fire widens and fades. So the scent is stronger and more concentrated close to the person, and weaker and widespread further away. In a strong wind, the scent cloud doesn't spread out very wide, but it does stretch out a long distance from the person. In a gentle breeze, the scent cloud doesn't stretch so long but it does expand widely. And in wind, the scent trail tends to drift away from the actual physical path that a person takes along the ground. You can actually follow behind a trailing dog and watch it running along at a distance from the footprint trail left by a person, but parallel to the trail, because the breeze has offset the scent trail from the print trail! The dissipation of scent means that there is less scent for a trailing dog to detect, later on, rather than soon after person has been in an area. This makes it vital for search authorities to call in scent dogs sooner rather than later. The relative difficulty of a search over time and distance depends on a lot of things. The individual dog's natural sensitivity to smell varies. The degree of training and practice that a dog and its handler have been through can improve a dog's sensitivity, as well. Roughness of the terrain can form little pockets that hold scent away from the wind, and scent dogs can go from scent pocket to scent pocket, as it were. Rising air temperature makes scent dissipate faster, because warm air (and scent) rises; while cool air helps scent to linger longer, because cool air is denser and drops lower to the ground. Atmospheric moisture helps cool the air as well, and it tends to pin scent back down to the ground, giving scent dogs more usable search time. Regardless of the physics of air and scent, though, search dogs are still living creatures, and they have their limits of endurance. They can become overworked from smelling too long, or from walking around too long. So they need breaks. Even if the local conditions in the search area tell us on paper that the scent should still be detectable, the dogs themselves can become desensitized to a given scent over time. Their powers of smell are incredible, but dogs are still animals--not robots. So it is wise to have backup search dogs, so search managers can rotate dogs in and out of an area over time. This has gotten a bit long-WINDED (pun intended. It's really a complex subject, so it can't be taught all in one essay or lecture. And various aspects branch off in different directions, much like scent on the wind, so it can be difficult to rein it all back in some times. But still, I hope this helped answer some of your questions.

Yup me and my sisters tried this with our rottweiler in a forest. He's used to taking one path of many so my sisters went the other way. We gave them a couple mins to sprint through the forest and find a spot where hes never been. And the second I let him off to find them he darting through the forest and found them. It surprised us all due to the fact he'd never been on that path and because hes just 14 months old

Now it's a year later and my younger twin brother and sister use his tracking ability to play hide and seek all day long 😂

I know this is old. But a guy I saw on youtube actually escaped a bloodhound tracker dog, so it’s definitely possible if you know what you are doing.

@@KidZoid555 Was he picked up by an automobile? How did he manage to not leave any trail?

he took one tiny lick and then kept going lmao

There is no tri colored gsd. I think you mean sable

My wife and i have trained Human Scent Discrimination Bloodhounds for over 30 years. we have done successful training scenario's with subjects that leave their car/truck with full scuba and go for a swim and sit on the bottom of the ocean or lake about 100meters out, the dog just goes and swims circles closest to the human scent that is going to the surface.

@@videocruzer A stationary subject in a slow moving body of water like an ocean or lake is very different from a quick moving river or stream, I don't doubt a dog could still detect in that scenario. However, my point was specific to the latter.

Funny enough a doberman holds the record for the longest successful tracking of any dog, even hounds

They said he was a general patrol dog so I assume he's also used as an apprehension dog as well.

If you were chased by k9 you're trash they should've gone for your jugular.

That's 7 Now! Spill the beans

Eight now.

We're invested- pls tell

ifka pifka lol

shut up twit

Ripd Off Really? That is the extent of your reply? lol And you call me the twit?

Ripd Off Wow, you really are a bright one aren't you. Who the hell ever said that there were not better ways to elude a tracker dog? Seriously how the hell would you pull the scenario of being in a car, 300 miles away and somehow think that it relates in any way shape or form to the point of this video and my initial comment? The whole point of the comment was taking the scenario like the one in the video where someone is on foot and they come upon a river. I'm pretty sure if the fucking guy in this video had a car or even a damn helicopter at his disposal, then he would of no doubt been able to lose the damn dog! Moron.

Suppose the river takes you to a place where there are police or ppl or suppose it gets too deep?

Completely submerging yourself underwater could possibly throw the dog off. But some dogs can continue to smell odor floating to the surface from a buried scent source, so maybe not. Either way, a good dog handler could detect that the dog was stumped by the water, and would then check either side of the waterway to find where the missing person came out. A second trailing dog might be brought in to simultaneously check the other side of the waterway. And it would probably be easier and faster for the dog teams to run along the ground beside the water than for the missing person to float with or swim under that water. Thus, you would be giving the dog team time to catch up to you. Search managers would also make calculations based on the water speed to determine how far you could've possibly drifted, and then set up containment barriers to keep you from going any further than that. That would effectively trap you between the authorities and the dog team. They would then flush your exhausted, waterlogged, heavy backside out of the water and hunt you down even more easily than before.

Domesticated puppies follow their innate senses (like their noses) and usually get themselves into trouble at a young age, which gets them corrected and teaches them to not follow their senses so much anymore. Search dogs have to have that correction trained out of them so that they can learn to trust their natural senses again. Or better yet, raise search dogs from newborns to always trust their senses, and just hone them, rather than training them out and then training them back into the dogs.

Nah bruh u good

Dogs don't just smell the strongest scent like us, they can smell all individual smells at once. So they would smell human + perfume

Negative. The dog handler said that the scent would be good for at least an hour. He probably sized the missing person up and figured that he was only in good enough shape to stay on the run for a half-hour, so the handler told the guy that the dog could double that. It's a spin on Star Trek Scotty's artificial time estimates to always make himself look good!

Josh Morgan outrun a dog? Especially a German shepherd? Are you insane? Even Usian Bolt would get outrun by a dog, an untrained one too, easily.

humans can out endure a dog, not outrun them. But here's the thing, the dog was running with the officer, and the reporter wasn't going particularly fast, and not only that, he stopped every so often to regain his energy.

One could presume they meant under an hour from the start time of the dog. I agree with the previous comments concerning outrunning a dog. lol

The criminal is, it's just an example for what tracking dogs do
