Accoridng to dog trainers they sure can :) You already know they sniff
out for drugs. Doctors are finding dogs can sniff out certain body
chemistry changes. A friend says her diabetic friend's trained dog wakes him up
if he has an insulin reaction in the middle of the night.

Of course the dog does not know what is going on, only to be trained to
waken the person when he detects the odor he was trained to respond
to. That's pretty fasincaint stuff.

You already know they can detect fear. (Adrenalin levels rise).

Back to the vinegar though. I imagine some dogs will take to it and
others may not. Must find another non toxic way.
