A working K-9 question
We will soon be retiring a working narcotic K-9 and hitting the road. To those of you who travel with a retired narcotic detection dog, have you encountered any issues with the K-9 “sniffing” the air...

Not likely to be a problem unless he was actively sent to "work". The way scent works, it's not likely he would indicate just by catching a whiff of a neighbor's stash on the breeze.
If he does alert on something at a campsite, you can play it a couple of different ways. You can call him off (leave it, or whatever word he was taught), or, when he indicates, you can just give him his toy --that's what most K-9's are working for.
