They discover, drugs, weapons, Covid !

We know of dogs that are trained to expose, drugs, weapons. They are often the right hand of the police. Thanks to their instincts, but also training, a large number of crimes have been solved. In most cases, dogs are used to detect and find traces of narcotics. The sense of smell indicates to them the place where such matter is located. Equally well, during anti-sabotage preventive inspections of persons, vehicles and premises (most often during large gatherings and events), the police use dogs to find particles of explosives. There are also search dogs used by the police to find fugitives, missing persons or objects of crime.

Malinois: Intelligent, hardworking, excellent keeper

Intelligent and very active, the raspberry has proven itself to the world as a dog excellent in working with the police and unsurpassed in the search for narcotics. He is the official police dog of all EU countries, he is also used by the Marines, and in our country by the gendarmerie and the army.

Also another dog we know that has the ability to find truffles. Truffle dogs are trained from an early age with pieces of strong-smelling cheese hidden in the ground. Truffle sends the dog to find the hidden piece of cheese. When a dog manages to find a piece of cheese, he gets a reward from truffles, usually some treat for dogs. Sometimes instead of a piece of cheese, they hide small truffles and let the dog find them. Another option is to send truffle detection dogs to a truffle search school. It usually takes about four years for a dog to become fully trained. Good truffle dogs are invaluable. When the dog points to a place where the truffle can be found, the truffle hunter uses a narrow swimmer to dig up the truffle without damaging it. He then returns the soil to the hole so that the truffles can grow again next year.

We have two breeds that have proven to be the best students in the truffle school. Labrador and Lagoto Romaniolo. At the very beginning, let me clarify that both are suitable for training in finding truffles. These dogs do not have well-groomed instincts for "hunting" truffles, but they are the best students in this business. However, both races should be trained from the youngest age, in order for the owner to reach the desired goal. These dogs have to go through training in the woods, where there are tattoos.

Finnish scientists say that specially trained dogs can detect the corona virus faster and more reliably than current tests. Dogs around the world are trained to detect people infected with the corona virus. This innovative measure, designed in France, is already being developed in Russia, Finland, Germany, the UK and other countries. Experts say that dogs are able to detect the corona virus from a significantly smaller amount of virus than conventional PCR tests. In practice, a dog can detect the presence of coronavirus before a laboratory test. Dogs trained to detect coronavirus (COVID-19) on samples of arriving passengers sit next to their trainers at Helsinki Airport in Vantaa, Finland, on September 22nd. The dogs are run by the Finnish association Wise Noses, which also took care of their training. Upon arrival at the sampling site at the airport, the passenger enters a small enclosure, then takes a voluntary swab from the skin surface and places it in a designated container as instructed. The dog and his handler wait behind the wall where the dog sniffs the default pattern. In this way, allergic travelers are taken into account and care is taken to ensure that persons handling dogs are not exposed to the virus. The whole procedure is ready in a minute, says Anna Hielm-Bjoerkman, an assistant professor of veterinary medicine, in charge of the corona virus sniffing project at the University of Helsinki.
