When training dogs to sniff our contraband, police and trainers connect the smell of drugs, memory cards, or similar items to the animal's favorite toy.
In order to start training, the handlers play with the dogs and toys, so there is no smell of their own because they have been washed.
Later, items that the handler wanted to train the dog to sniff were rolled into the toy --
It's usually towels.
Then the dog began to recognize that the taste of the contraband was the taste of his favorite toy.
The handler hides the towel and the contraband in a different place, and if the dog finds the towel, he will be rewarded with toys, food or both.
