[QUOTE="Foghorn, post: 2247729, member: 8834"] Ive seen the last four. They are based on usage records of the handler. The results are skewed in my opinion because you cant say for sure whether or not narcotics had been present in the recent past. Its kinda like coming home and smelling popcorn in your house. Your wife an kids already ate the popcorn so there is no popcorn, but you can still smell popcorn. Ive not seen the other study, but ill read it after work and comment then. I base my opinion of my dogs accuracy on his results in a controlled training enviroment. When we train, I do not know where or if narcotics are present. I make the call based on his behaviors. We regularly run blanks with no odors present, and utilize cover odors and know associate odors.Odors that are commonly used to cover the odor of narcotics, or things things like tape, cellophane that are commonly used to package narcotics. These are items are never combined with narcotic odors during training. I believe this is called blind testing. This type of testing in my opinion is the only true test of reliability in a k9\handler team. No matter what it boils down to having a properly trained team and a handler dedicated to doing the job right. [/QUOTE]
