What are some good ideas for a science experiement involving dogs?

Question

I was thinking about hiding some dog food somewhere and trying to see if my dog can find it, but that's to elementary.

I need to do a more complex hypothesis statement experiment, example: IF dogs have good sense of smell THEN they'd be able to find hidden things.

Any ideas on what i can do? thanks :)

Answer 1

Different dogs and sensitivity to smell... like how well they find things.

Different dogs and physical ability... like running, jumping doing tricks.

Different dogs and swimming ability.

Different dogs and ability to trail human footsteps amd finding a hiding person.

Different dogs and ability for you to stack items on their noses for long periods of time before they flinch.... I dunno about this one...

Different dogs and amount of saliva produced under different circumstances

One dog and how different types of music like rock and roll and classical music affect the dog

One dog and reactions to different smells

One dog and reaction to different tastes or food

One dog and reaction to illustrated animals on paper

I dunno, just think about and you can come up with more... I just thought of this in one sitting......

Answer 2

At first seeing your question I thought that you were going to do something that would harm the dog I was about find out were you live and equip my hidden blade........

You should try to put some sort of food that smells on top of something high and see if they notice it by smell.........i dont know
