Yes. Our dogs cannot work when it rains as the scent molecules from a landmine typically rise up through the ground into the air and that is what our dogs are trained to detect. A body of water sitting above a landmine disperses these molecules wider into the air and if ample time is not given for the water to drain, the dogs may indicate the presence or location of a landmine less accurately leading to false indications. As our operations are often in hotter climates, we stop our dogs from working if the temperature rises above 33 degrees celsius to ensure their wellbeing. At the other end of the spectrum Technical Survey Dogs can be deployed to work at lower temperatures, with a minimum of 5 degrees celsius – far colder than our rats.
