How can I teach my dog to learn smell…?

How can I teach my dog to learn smells drugs?
Because, I don’t want anyone come to my house if they have drugs with them.
She is mini beagle / 6 months old.
Yes, I know them all but I still don't trust anyone!
Bonnie L = me troll? geeze.
Calling me a troll because I am a drug free?
Dogtrainer22 = wow , you're right.
Thanks , Abc N

This skill absolutely can be trained, but you would need to have things that smelled like the drugs you want your dog to alert to. That would mean you need to have drugs in your home or some pre-made scenting agent made for this purpose- I have no idea if that exists. There a couple of books on Dogwise.com that teach you how to teach your dog to scent.

I really suggest that you dog teach your dog to scent- it would be a fabulous activity for a beagle and real bonding experience for you and your dog. However, I think you should probably not go with this drug thing- how about teaching your dog to find lost pets? You could make money doing this.

    haha i dont think you can teach her this but you could always take her to training classes. they normally use german shepards for this i dont know if beagles have the capability. however if you dont want people coming in your house with drugs all you do is know the people in which you invite to come in your house.

    You can’t train any dog. It has to be one of those hyper crazy dogs that wants to play all the time. And it’s not easy. You have to rub all their toys and balls with the drugs, so they learn to associate that smell with their toy. Then you start hiding the toys and encourage them to look for it. Then you get them to bark or scratch if they want to get their toy. Then in the future when people come over thedog will alert when they smell their “toy”/drugs. Those are the basics, but I don’t think you’ll be able to do it with a beagle…

    Why are you letting people in your house if you don’t know them well enough to know if they will bring drugs or not?

    No such dogs can trained to do that at home, unless you have a private place to allow dogs to be trained that way. The dog working with police, they can smell any of the weapon items, smell of the strangers, and foot marks.
