The dogs are an interesting technique for concealed conditions investigations.
The termite dogs in the U.S. and the decay fungi dogs in the U.K. are a fun
method for the first stage of an exploration process. The training is an
on-going process just like police bomb or drug dogs. The on-going training is
hard to keep up and the dogs get sloppy in their work if the work is not kept
fun, which mean the training is on a regular schedule and fun. The dogs,
whether at the peak of their training or not, will make mistakes. They can miss
infestations or ID one that do not exist. That is why they are a fun method for
the first stage of the exploration process. The invasive process of
confirmation is still needed. Dogs and fiber-optic scopes, now there is a neat
combination.

Quiz of the day: What are the dogs smelling when they ID a termite infestation?
