The narcotics detection dog training for handlers will focus on learning the dog to detect and locate a point of odor (like heroin, marijuana, XTC or methamphetamines). To become a detection dog trainer, students will be taught to execute searches in different environments.

The explosive detection dog handler training is similar as the narcotics training. Of course the odor is different. In the handler training we use various explosive material like :

• Dynamite
