Particles sloughed or emitted from the body would be released into the ambient air. Because of Brownian motion, these particles would be diffused into the local environment along a gradient being densest near the source (your body). The dog's nose would interpret the greater density of particles as a stronger smell and thus by following the smell to where it is strongest, find the source.
