Hi John, you alright?
I sent u my email in a PM. I have been talking to our mutual acquaintance, I will be staying in contact with them and look forward to doing some "dog stuff" with 'em.
I didnt mean to come across as saying that someone should go into EDD without being certified or untrained, on the contrary. I was just saying that the training and certification has more to do with procedures and safe handling drills related to the finding of the explosives. It may very well also invlolve training the handler to teach him to work with the dog and teach him to read the dog and watch for signs of scent recognition....etc, and teach about how scent works ie: weather conditions, air currents...etc. But if one has experience in, say like myself, in Mantracking on all types of terrain and scenarios ( I wont say where I learned because its not relevant in an open forum) isnt that half the battle? a far as the training goes?
