HOW DOGS EXPERIENCE THE WORLD THROUGH THEIR SENSES
Dr. Lauren Price & Corp. Jason Frey
She explained that there are distinct types of working dogs. For example, there are Medical Detection Dogs. These dogs are trained to detect cancer, diabetes issues, and seizures. Dogs with longer snouts are typically better working dogs because they have a better sense of smell than smaller dogs. Corporal Frey talked about the work he does with the K-9 dogs. The two dogs that were introduced were both German Shepherds. Sonny, (not shown) is now retired, and Monte (below) is now working as a narcotics detection dog.
Both dogs are highly trained and work with Corporal Frey as a team. The team is an award winning team in Connecticut for their success in narcotics detection. With Monte’s participation, Corporal Frey demonstrated how the dog goes about detecting a narcotic that was hidden in the room.
