Training Dogs to Smell

Okay, so, as a tenured prof at the Spinstitution for Signery Arts that is teaching a new crop of kids how to do a proper Izzy search, I was thinking about those sniffing bloodhounds that can track criminals. When I was just a little scrapper, I thought that these dogs were trained to sniff out bad guys. Like shooters and robbers gave off some kind of badness smell. I know it sounds goofy, but I was just a kid!

So, now I know that you actually need a piece of clothing or something from the perp and the dogs sniff for that. So, it got me thinking. What would be the signature Izzy Lyon smells that dogs might get trained to track?

I came up with a few:

1.     Izzy hair products. As everyone knows, Izzy had a lot of pride in his beautiful hightop fade. It was only natural that he released his own line of styling products from The Helicopter Ultimate Lift Hair Spray to the Izzy Spritz Foam. We know that Izzy was a man of integrity and would not endorse a product he didn’t believe in, so it just makes sense that he would smell like it.

2.     New car smell. Izzy loved the smell of new cars. The only problem I see with this one is that the bloodhounds might just run to car dealerships.

3.     Meat. Izzy’s partnership with Meatshire Farm is the stuff of Legend. He turned his passion for encased cured meats into an opportunity to introduce kielbasa and thuringer to kids from outside the meat belt. The added benefit of this is that the dogs would go nuts for sausages and probably run twice as fast.

 Just a start. What do you think?
