Anyone have any past experience in what happens when a dog inhales pepper or other substances someone may spread in in a yard?

What to do with a person that is spreading stuff sll over the area to try to keep dogs out of his yard. He did not tell anyone he was going to and admitted he did it when asked.

My training and thought is that some dogs are natural trackers and some are not. I believe that if a puppy was to inhale something when it is actively sniffing the ground this could very well cause the puppy to stop holding his nose to the ground and never track or want to.

What will or could this damage the nose of a pup medically?

Does anyone know?

I think it could cause a puppy to shut down and never get over the experience and never track.

Any comments? Anyone know if this would be a crime or considered animal abuse and the possibility of charges against the person that did it on purpose?

This just happened and I need to hear what others think.

Thanks,
