Training
|
MoldDogs™ are
trained to discriminate scents of various types
of microbial colonies in a variety of structures,
including attics and crawl spaces.
Scent discrimination enables the MoldDog™ to differentiate
between normal product materials found in the home
and alert only on mold.
If the dog finds mold, the dog will alert the handler
to the location. |

The dogs receive
over 1,000 hours of training from the time they
come
from the humane society to the point that the handler
enters the class.
A dog's training includes minor obedience, odor
identification, search patterns, scent discrimination,
various types of building search areas, socialization
and vehicle rides.
At the end of the course, the Certified Master Trainer
verifies that each canine team is capable of discriminating
scents mold and issues a certification. Quarterly
testing and annual recertification are required.
Upon completion of the training period, the dog
is certified to detect and pinpoint at least eighteen
different kinds of the most common toxic molds.
