I'm thinking of getting a dog. I was wondering if it is possible to train your dog using gluten flour to sniff out gluten? Do you think there would be utility in this? Anyone try before?

Already done. Check it out! :) Don't know if particular breeds are more responsive or the details but it is interesting.

Check out Nose Work

My dog has done some preliminary scent work and LOVES it. I highly recommend this new sport as it is fascinating to watch the different breed and personalities try to solve the puzzle.
