Best Ways to trick drug sniffing dog?

If your transporting drugs or sending them what are the best ways to cover the smell to beat the sniffer dog? I always wondered about spraying the bottom of a car with pepper spray to avoid a dog detecting drugs.

Many dogs are trained to alert the handler on the handler's prompt, so don't look suspicious and you're already more than half way there.

Scent detection dog owner here.

You cannot trick a scent detection dog. If the scent of drugs exists on a package you cannot cover it up or overpower it. The dog will smell whatever you tried to cover it up with and whatever you tried to cover up.

I'm not going to take the time to reply to all the posts in this thread, but everything posted is incorrect.

from my experience the drugs can only smell weed. I had coke smeared all over my lap and the dog went right past me to a bag of weed.

Wait if the skunk sprays the cop when they open the trunk do you get charged with a crime?

get the urine/discharge of a bitch in season

boys will be boys, any male dog would lose focus ;) probably most bitches too

What if the handler is alerted but drugs are on the outside of the car like in a magnetic stash box. Do they search under the car too?

Fuck that the stinky hippie would be a dead giveaway. What about having a live skunk in your trunk? That's perfectly legal right?

So does anyone have experience with masking drugs or if the police will actually search under a car if the dog gives the signal to search? Do you think if the dog starts acting all weird if it smells the pepper spray coating on the bottom of the car that they will seize the vehicle and take it back to the police station and tear it apart looking for something? My vehicle automatically gets a k9 unit if I get pulled over so acting like a law abiding citizen doesn't work.

Drug dogs undergo lots of training with drugs hidden in all sorts of smelly things (meat, coffee grounds, oranges or orange spray etc). Dogs olfactory sense works differently than a human. We smell a mixture of scents all together but they smell the individual things that make up a scent. Take stew for example - we smell "stew" and they smell beef, carrots, potatoes, celery... all the individual components.

If the dog is trained to find your drugs it's gonna find it unless you've wrapped it in mylar, cleaned with rubbing alcohol several times and even then sometimes they're trained to detect that.

There are ways to irritate the dogs olfactory receptors but that usually signals to the handler that you are up to something suspicious. I was in a drug dog training class once and one of the instructors told a story about some marijuana smugglers that sprayed their entire car in Orange Glo to irritate the dogs nose. They searched it anyway by hand.

Pepper spray is gonna do jack shit.

hide it under raw meat. it's not about tricking the dog in this situation. it's about tricking the handler into thinking the dog is going nuts. a dog's olfactory sense is 2 million times more powerful than ours. If they're trained to alert to it, they will. so the trick is to hide it under raw meat. go to the grocery store and buy a bunch of fresh hamburger (large steaks work too) that comes on those little trays and wrapped in saran wrap. carefully loosen a corner of the wrap and slide your stuff up under the meat. once that's done rewrap it and put it back in the grocery bag. if the dog alerts to it, there's a good chance the handler will think the dog is just going crazy and alerting at the bag because... red meat.

Edit: no idea why i'm getting downvoted for this one. this is actual advice from a former k9 handler.
