The first few days are spent teaching pups the concept of sniffing on command. A small round tin with holes in top is filled with a scent.pic.twitter.com/1ExQyBm1S3
Trainer presents tin to pup who sniffs it Trainer then erupts into squeals of delight, jumps around & tells them they are a h*ckin' good dogpic.twitter.com/ZpHcFqRpjy
Pup gets some kibbles of dog food & lots of pats, rubs, & maybe even a game of tug-of-war… whatever she loves & gets excited about.pic.twitter.com/weXbvgckh3
Process is repeated 35-45 times in row If pup gets distracted or disinterested, trainer must find a way to get dog excited to keep sniffingpic.twitter.com/iSMlGMyAus
Pups figure out within minutes that if they show interest in the little metal can trainer is holding, they’ll receive a kibble of food.pic.twitter.com/jJwuux4hTs
In less than 6 weeks, the pups will be able to successfully detect more than 20,000 different explosive mixtures.pic.twitter.com/46QNAoaFLz
At the end of every training day, the pups get a special treat: A huge dog cookie! Nicole excitedly bounds after hers.pic.twitter.com/vS0LNyOqtg

Awesome!
Do you classify them as #equipment ? I think #dogs should be classified as DOGS not equipment 
Shoud have some in every place .
The situation in Rohingya is really tragic also I hope Isis doesn't try to exploit this.
This is so neat we always had German Shepards they to are great dogs for training!
