A 1-year feasibility study was conducted to train German Shepherds to detect simulated mines, trip wires, caches, tunnel openings, and ambushes while working off leash and to track and to attack on command. Selection criteria and special food reinforcement training methods and procedures used to accomplish the objectives are presented. Results of these efforts and important evaluation exercises are explained. Features regarded to be significant in training acceptable candidate dogs are discussed. It is concluded that the training methods used in the study are applicable in training dogs to perform a multiplicity of tasks that are associated with operational employment of small infantry units.
