yes you can teach a dog to wind. iv taken my ground dogs and turned them in to wind dogs . put them on my hood and they learn to wind or smell the air as we go down the road. and they always try and face the wind when there on the hood. if a dog can smell a track on the ground and thats the way it was taught to hunt , you can put him on the rig and teach him to wind off the rig or box. it just takes time and finding the right way and easies way for yur dog to learn. remember to keep it simpal for you and him

 i have to totaly agree with bennet on this one . cur dogs run the wind as much as they nose the ground . it is probably more teaching the owners to watch the dogs reaction in certain situations . just like running mock hunts put you a hog hide or pig out in the bush and start by driving to it from downwind and watch the dogs . if they are hog dogs to start with they will perk their ears up and be looking into the wind . to many people holler and whoop a dog for barking in the truck these days lol when i go hunt the fields i try and allways come into them from the downwind side and hunt into the wind . i have a couple dogs chained behind the cab of my truck and they will wind from there , hell my bulldog will wind a hog in the brush !! he allways rides chaained behind the cab on the drivers side . it's easy to do but like everything else it takes work and PATIENCE .
