Tracker Dog Hunts Man | I Didn't Know That
• Tracker Dog Hunts Man ...

/ natgeo - บันเทิง
I work in canine search and rescue in the US, and here we differentiate between tracking dogs and trailing dogs. Tracking dogs check every footfall, every place where the missing person's scent has rested to the ground, and every place where the ground surface has been disturbed by the missing person's passing. Trailing dogs smell the scent that has come off the missing person and has been suspended in the air, like a telltale cloud. It would appear that Tyson was actually a trailing dog, rather than a tracking dog. He didn't get distracted by the river like a tracking dog would, but instead followed the scent in the air--the mark of a trailing dog. That's an important technical difference. It's why we prefer trailing dogs over tracking dogs in search and rescue.
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??
@@nerminc.1713 - Sorry, I just got this. Reply to follow.
@@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.
the cows snitched on him
hahahahahahahahaha
It's the only revenge on human they have had
Tyson couldn’t resist that one little lick of the sausages, lol. This Jonny Phillips is great - very funny, witty, and he really did try to fool the dog rather than giving him a gimme.
I seen a myth busters episode where they tried to fool a drug sniffing dog and couldn't. From what I've read if you got a dog on your trail you better hope your trail is really old.
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 😂
The dog just followed the video cameraman.
See the trainer tug the dog collar a bit away from the snausages lol
he took one tiny lick and then kept going lmao
4:00 Tracking dogs are trained to follow the trails on the ground. Trailing dogs are trained to follow the scent in the air. He's not tracking he's trailing.
He did the water evading wrong. You're supposed to not touch anything but the water and bed of the river, and then travel straight up or down stream a good distance. that way all of your scent stays in the water, and is washed away. When you exit the water a couple miles away the scent is too far away for the dog to detect.
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.
All german shepherds are beautiful. Black, white, tri colored i love them all.
There is no tri colored gsd. I think you mean sable
Simply remarkable, excellent job Tyson
He was reduced to a giggling wreck at the end
dogs are too physically gifted just to be used for cuddling
Good God. That's amazing and also a little bit scary.
Wonderful video! Very interesting. I was cheering Tyson along!! Good boy. 🐕🦺
Love the show!
Twice I've had dogs tracking me.
The first time I was caught in less than a minute. I knew I was done for and I tried to balance on a 3ft fence post in the middle of a field hoping the police would get there before the dog bit me, but it jumped up at the fence post and I lost my balance. On my way to the ground it grabbed onto my ankle. I never struggled as I didn't want to excite it and I knew it was never gonna let go. I've still got the scars.
The second time I was more successful, but I will leave that to another time. 5 likes and I will reveal part two ,!
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
I love GSD but if it's tracking they want, it's all Bloodhounds.
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.
You rarely defeat the dog. Defeat the tracker.
Some Bloodhound fun facts.
The FBI studied the Bloodhound back in the 1980's for 8 years. The FBI train their Bloodhounds for 5 years before they are used in the field, even then the agents are not told if it is a real gig or not and the Bloodhound gets three kicks at the can to pass for the best of the best to be used to track serial killers.
Bloodhounds were proven to have the ability to be able to scent discriminate 1 particle out of a trillion.
Bloodhounds were proven to be able to pick up scent off of incendiary devices even with the bomb maker gloved up.
Bloodhounds were shown to be able to pick up scent from handled bullets that were fired from a gun then used as scent articles that were used to ID the person in a line up of people.
The FBI Bloodhound programs are kept out of the courts and the media.
this helped me convince my dungeon master to let me polymorph into a wolf for tracking purposes
My wife and i have done training in huge crowds of people upwards of 50,000+, multiple targets, the funnest ones are getting the target to back track right past you and watching the Bloodhound clue in, the body language will make you laugh. training Bloodhounds for over 3 decades doing a 2 split is basic and should be started as soon as the dog nails the single, you should never train your dog to jump on the target, train for active alert, a bark or sit what ever the handler likes, me I prefer training for a silent alert/ ie only the handler knows the body language when the correct id is made, In my opinion the silent alert is the best. I can't tell you how many times our Bloodhound has pulled us threw 10's of thousands of people right to people we have trained with. Its so cool watching your Bloodhound go from just a night out walking at an event like the fourth or first of July, to that full body language change that pulls you threw literally 50,000+ people right to their friends just to say Hi i remember you.
The sausage gave him away LOL
Tyson is a hunk of Awesomeness
1/2 h headstart and given 5 Km/h for the runner means 12,5 Km in 2,5 hours. Given 6 Km/h for the tracking/trailing dog-team (which would be awesome and rare) means, it still would be 0,5 Km behind the runner after 2 hours! Under real conditions no dog would be able to catch up with a missing person still in motion. Sorry!
Good buy, Tyson!
Dirty socks on your car dashboard.
I saw HOW TO SURVIVE on the weather channel here in the US. When you go hiking, leave a dirty sock in a plastic bag so police dog can track your scent. My question is would a perfume do the same ?. I can spray the perfume to mark my trail.
Cute dog.
I grew up on this show
Most dogs are actually trailing dogs not tracking dogs, while they do do the same job, find the person through scent, tracking dogs use scent on the ground or on objects while trailing dogs use scent left in the air.
sensacional:-) :-) :-)
Then some good old fashion back tracking, the dog will never know I went back to the start and am standing behind him.
He was going for the sausages 😂
That’s the worst thing you could’ve done water intensifies the smell
If a dog followed a person directly to a deep river and the person submerged and drowned out of sight. What would the dog do next ? Thanks
Really? /the perfume? LOL
Let's walk in the water while we touch objects above water with our hands...
it is indeed possible to evade tracker dogs, but you have to get a bit more "hands on" than that!
top gear filmed there
Wow
If the dog uses the air to follow the scent, making rivers unreliable in throwing the dog off, then it seems like the best course of action would be to hold your breath and try to go underwater down stream, as far as possible. Thus not allowing your scent in the air. Now this would only work (if it does at all) if the water was deep enough and fast moving enough and the person was capable of holding their breath for a decent amount of time. Then maybe that would work.
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.
@uncledummy if you haven't noticed, they have more than 1
the dog was wet after the river and in the next scene was dry.....????
ifka pifka lol
My dog tracks also, only me.Charlie.
Whata awesome bboy!
There are a lot of know nothings here......2 minute experts.
I think what you may have been trying to say is that sharks are far more tuned in to their senses than mutts. I could be wrong though.
He wasn't allowed to get on a bus in the test shown here, but in real escapes, there are NO rules.
ACTION STARS with FOUR PAWS
Tyson is cool!
Of course, I drink tea every day...
2:05 AYO that's kinda sus
Dogs already have this ability in th3m, but they dont know how to use it, and after training, their skill comes up and out to them as they learn tk track
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.
why didn't he run away through the stream ?
What do you mean?
I wonder if he is also good at finding truffles
Nah bruh u good
No you can't blow up a children's hospital.
I'm not satisfied with the lame tricks
I would've: run faster, put cow shit on, do the backtrack to an even further twist, climb tree, swim the river instead of simply crossing it, take off my shirts, swim again, etc.
Tyson HAS BEEN TRAINED TO doggo poggo Better
If you are going to get a dog get a German Shepard Dingo mix. I had one and they are very smart and also very cool looking. He was the best dog I ever had. I had him since he was a little puppy at 6 months till he was put down because a tumor in his throat.
I thought there was some dirt on my screen reading your comment...
He followed you because of ur silly sausage trick! You touched them before throwing them =D
What if sharks could go on land, they can detect one drop of blood I'm Olympic size pool O.o
ooh ah look up bloodhounds
Are these guys the parents of SlowMoguys?
If you have a stick, you can toss the dog's brain out.
I wonder what happens if a person soak themselves in perfume?
Dogs don't just smell the strongest scent like us, they can smell all individual smells at once. So they would smell human + perfume
Forgot, pizza also.
What if he travels in car? How this dog gonna hunt.
Um, Mythbusters did this a few years ago...
Well, this is NG, not Discovery :P
Running through the cow area wrong. Intentionally ran body & hands across wall. 🙄
It actually is... You just cant leave your stink all over everything you run by. You can go UNDERWATER and stay in the river for a hot minute..
Your best bet is to leave a dead end scent before you do tho... Run 100m out, leave a shirt or a sock then 100m back into the river and go under water for as long as you can. popping up to take a breath then heading back down underwater.
Hahah
YORKSHIRE!
He didn't fucking roll in the hay or swim in the river. shit I would of.
What if he got in a car and drive 300 miles
Um... sharks are no where near smarter than a mutt. One example is that dogs can identify humans, sharks have more trouble and are more likely to take you as a seal. Sharks have tiny brains and many dogs have large brains..... More surface area... more activity.... more intellegence. It's not likely for a cold-blooded creature to be smarter than a warm-blooded because of the size difference in brains.
give al listen to Blake Shelton >>>OL' Red ....song will tell ya how to Escape!!!
Is that dog a groenendael belgian sheperd?
my german shepherd dog only knows how to drink beers.
The scent was only good for an hour.....bulldust
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!
Scientifically,sharks have the most sensitive(or powerful)sense of smell in the whole of mother nature. They can "smell" a drop of blood nearly 1 km away. Sharks are even smarter than a mutt. They would never fall for a little test with their senses. They'll use it when necessary [sorry for the size of this comment,it can't be helped
I got the 1000th like
Lol u obviously doesnt have a dog---
am i missing something??? how can a dog could catch up with a human who had a 30 minute head start within an hour while following his exact path. i mean unless the dog can track and run at twice the speed a human can run. but most people could outrun a dog reasonably easy.
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
This is fake isn’t it?
The criminal is, it's just an example for what tracking dogs do
Weezy!
fake. who runs in a trench raincoat and boots and doesn't sweat one bit?
