We did a test with ozonics to test it's ability to cover explosive odors from our military K9s, it didn't beat their nose and the dogs still the explosives, take it for what it's worth.
But did you do a control study with no scent cover at all? How far were the dogs from the explosives when detection was made? If the dog is standing directly beside a suitcase that isn’t that relevant to this discussion is it unless he could still smell them 20 or 30 yards away. In most studies done, ozone did not “beat” the dogs nose at close levels, but it took the dog longer to find the stuff with ozonics verses no ozonics. Studies with deer found similar results. It isn’t about completely eliminating all scent. That won’t happen. It is about reducing the level to the point that you aren’t seen as a threat once the scent reaches the deer at 10,
20, 30, or further yards away.
