The Detection of Buried Targets by Canines: Methods, Skills & Training Protocols
Introduction
“This book is the first extensive overview of that programme of research, which has produced considerable success but also encountered some difficulties. Several projects are still underway and are not reported on in detail here. Some areas of research are still raising more questions than providing answers, and there is much more to be done. The book is therefore as much a report on work in progress as on completed projects. It provides valuable reviews of current knowledge in key areas, an up-todate summary of topical issues, some historical perspectives and some empirical results.”
In this magazine, I write about the 3-Legged Stool of Detection training and discuss its implementation into a training plan.

Module 4: Native Soil Odor Matrix (NSOM™)
Devices for making the NSOMs
A herb T-press, or sometimes called a pollen T-press. I get these from Amazon and only the stainless-steel version. I am told they are for making compressed plugs of marijuana, so they may be available in smoke stores or similar places, also.
A honey beeswax press is also available on Amazon and used to compress beeswax to extract the honey. These make a larger version of the NSOM, suitable for adding bulbs or roots, or for a larger surface area for detection.
The T-shaped soil core sampler is perfect for placing the Herb/Pollen press-sized NSOMs into the ground. They are available in different handle lengths. I get mine from Amazon.
The bulb planter is the size of the honey beeswax press-sized NSOMs.
