Human scent and wind. “If the wind is stiff, air scent is blown in the direction of the wind and disperses with distance and time. Ground-based odor is also moved with the wind, though less so… In a nutshell, wind will move and scatter scent, changing the place where a dog might actually find it. The scent might be on the actual footsteps, as in the case of grass, or hundreds of yards away if the location is a cement parking lot” (K9 Trailing - The Straightest Path).

Human scent and temperature. “Windblown “air scent” appears to be affected by temperature more than by particle-based odor, because it is in a gaseous form. Therefore, hot, dry conditions can literally fry windblown odor, whereas the odor produced from the particle itself appears to last longer. I have worked trailing dogs from California to Florida and many places in between. I have found that the southern and eastern states with relatively high humidity are the best places to work trailing dogs. The trails seem to last longer, and the scent simply appears to be stronger there. Super-dry places such as the western deserts are the absolute worst places to work a trailing dog. The common denominator appears to be the humidity factor coupled with more vegetation” ( K9 Trailing - The Straightest Path)

Human scent and temperature. “Freezing temperatures can literally lock away scent until there is a thaw, especially if the trail is not fresh. Fresh trails in freezing conditions cause dogs to work much closer to the actual track of the subject and do not allow the luxury of drifting to the side to follow the windblown odor.” (J Schettler "K9 Trailing: The Straightest Path").

Human scent and temperature. “Because human scent is a biological phenomenon based on the breakdown of human carbon-based material, temperature will affect it in this fashion. Higher temperatures result in a quicker breakdown of that matter and in some situations result in its destruction or viability. Dry, hot weather has an almost mummifying effect on odor and allows it to be available for use for only a short time or until humidity or moisture allows it to decompose again. Ideal temperatures are above freezing and below ninety degrees with moderate to high humidity. Granted, the temperature will also affect the dog’s physical ability to work aside from the act of processing scent” (J Schettler "K9 Trailing: The Straightest Path").

Hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend! Coming this week - excerpts from Jeff's books on environmental effects on scent - time, temperature, wind, contamination. "Time is probably the number-one scent variable to consider… The best time frame for deployment in all conditions is one to four hours. This is the time frame in which the dog has a strong chance of, at minimum, finding a solid direction of travel – that is, as long as everything else is in alignment, such as there being a good scent article and minimum contamination. Twelve hours is the average cutoff point for trail viability for most dogs. Not that scent is missing – it is just not present to the extent that the dog can follow it reliably. And that is the rub -reliability.” (J Schettler "K9 Trailing: The Straightest Path").
