===Dogs===
[[Detection dog|Specially trained dogs]] can be used to detect explosives using their noses which are very sensitive to [[Dog#Smell|scents]]{{Broken anchor|date=2024-06-15|bot=User:Cewbot/log/20201008/configuration|target_link=Dog#Smell|reason= The anchor (Smell) [[Special:Diff/668240050|has been deleted]].}}. While very effective, their usefulness becomes degraded as a dog becomes tired or bored.
These dogs are trained by specially trained handlers to identify the scents of several common explosive materials and notify their handler when they detect one of these scents. The dogs indicate a 'hit' by taking an action they are trained to provide — generally a passive response, such as sitting down and waiting.
