Well anyone can do things anyway they want really... and what brings them the result they want is the best method... but personally, most poeple I have seen using skin drags are training a dog to find scent and f&^%$# off... not really a desirable trait.... I've never seen a dog ingnore a new scent, so getting the fundamentals trained well , then introduced to the field and positive outcome on game result is a good training result.
Personally if i owned a dog that was interested in a treat when it had just found game I really wouldn't want to own it.
But then, everyone's mileage may vary.
