Does your dog’s nose ever “turn off?” I thought it happened today during a “hunt dead” search. Manny ran right past the pigeon several times, downwind of it at least twice. The scent might have been weak, and blocked by bushes, but still – a little is usually all he needs. Any thoughts?
What happened?
