User's Guide: Land Mine and Booby Trap Detector Dogs. Volume III

Abstract

While the capabilities of land mine/booby trap canines have been well documented, several years of carefully-controlled studies have shown that the successful utilization of such animals requires a knowledgeable, dedicated handler with proper training and experience. This manual is intended as a field guide for use by personnel who meet these qualifications. Its purpose is to provide a 'field-portable' summary of the important procedures and considerations involved in the deployment of land mine/booby trap detector dogs.
