I'm going to guess that furniture, bedding, and other items with the boys scent made the move from Bakersfield and the boys did not. This would account for dogs picking up the scent inside the house but not outside, as the boys were, Imo, never outside or inside the new house, only items with their scent.
The dog(s) would have to have been given an item specific to one of the boys, or each of them individually, to be familiarized with that boy's individual scent. So that item would have to have not been contaminated with other scent.
So that item, or items, had to have been provided to the SAR team/handler. A teddy that one of the boys slept with, a hat, gloves, or clothing worn by only the boy(s), etc.
I just happen to know a rather well know SAR team trainer
