as working dogs of vent

as these dogs do not follow a specific odor, may give false alarms to follow the smell of a person who is present in the area but is not a victim. To avoid this, usually divides the area into grids (although this depends on the situation) and each team works in a single grid. Each team is composed of the dog and his guide and, sometimes, some helper.

Dogs of vent need to start working with the wind against it, since otherwise they would be unable to perceive the smell of the victims. When it comes to search in relatively large areas, dogs start following a path perpendicular to the wind. In this way increases the likelihood that detected an odor, even if it is little concentrated.

Then, when they have detected the presence of odor, can focus on locating the source.

Of course, the form of work depends on the situation facing rescue dogs and their guides. For example, it may be impossible to make dogs a path perpendicular to the direction of the wind in urban areas. What tends to happen in landslides is dogs and guides to work directly on the surface, taking advantage of the breeze to detect odors.

Is thinks that them dogs of venting located to the victims following the concentration of the odor of the same. The smell would be less concentrated in places away from the victim, and would be concentrated in the vicinity of the victim. In this way, rescue dogs would still be a cone of scent, more extensive and less concentrated in the outposts of the victim and more located and concentrated in the vicinity of the victim.
