Comments in Response to TSWG Report T-3388

Entered October 2007/ After over two years of diligent effort and deliberations, the Scientific Working Group on Dog and Orthogonal detector Guidelines, otherwise known as SWGDOG, has published a series of guidelines, which include a book of definitions that unifies terminology commonly used within the detector-K9 working dog community, and definitive guidelines for detector-K9 training, certification, and maintenance.

SWGDOG is a forum aimed at addressing the broadly expressed need to improve the performance, reliability, and courtroom defensibility of detector dog teams. It is also charged with recommending best approaches to the use of detector dogs in conjunction with electronic detection devices, or so-called orthogonal detectors.
