The dogs receive 24 to 32 weeks of training and work in a variety of environments, including mock aircraft and airport terminals. Trainers use classical conditioning to teach the dogs to search for odors from explosive materials. After six to eight weeks of training, the dogs are paired with a handler, whom they’ll finish the course and graduate with. Roughly 90% of all canine teams graduate from the course.

I've worked with service dogs and the amount of things they can smell is truly incredible, from a slight drop in blood sugar to an incoming seizure, their noses are almost like magic
-
I love how the dogs are always a rank above their handlers (at least in the military).
-
That makes me so happy that they’re partners and part of the family. It’s like he said it’s a giant game for the dog. I’m glad to see them treated so well and with genuine love and affection. They’re all so sweet ☺️
-
I can’t believe there are people in this comment section who think this is “cruel” to the dog. Do you see how excited they are to do their job? Without these dogs, so many people would be dead.

3:17 classic serious voice This dog, Poopy…
-
As someone who works for TSA, we truly love those dogs. They’re so sweet and always seem to want to please their handler so much. They’re a great weapon against terrorism.
-
I am constantly fascinated by the relationship between dogs and humans, and how many ways they help us.
-
As an owner of a German Shorthair pointer, I have to say I'm delighted to see a couple of them in the video. Not only is their sense of smell amazing but they are genuinely delightful dogs
-
“Do not pet.” 😭 That’s torture! Jokes aside, these animals are first and foremost professionals! For myself I have never been approached by a sniffer dog in an aeroport. 😢 but I always smile when I see them. 🥰

I work at doggy daycare and boarding facility and we house two detection dogs and when they come back from work we can tell they’re full filled cause they knock out in there beds. They’re such awesome dogs to have at our facility I’ve learned so much about there work through talking to there handlers.
-
i love that - in spite of how crucial their job is - they are still spoken to LIKE DOGS. "good mans" "good boy" "good dog". its nice.
-
I think this video highlights that even though these dogs are trained to an incredible level, they are still dogs with personalities and needs. They are motivated to save lives because they like to follow smells and they like their ball. I once saw a TSA dog at the end of its shift trying to convince the handler to play instead of watching the people go by; he was obviously bored from not finding anything suspicious!
-
These dogs always amaze me with how much they can detect in a single whiff. Having had a Retriiever/Jack Russell in the family their noses never lie, their energy level and eagerness to please is astounding and their intelligence makes me smile everytime I see their TSA counterparts when I see them in the terminals. If they could talk, they'd probably be able to tell you what you had for your last meal--yesterday morning.
-
The skills of these dogs are literally insane but man when the narrator said pupi I lost it😭😭
-
I work as a barber near Lackland and have had the privilege to meet quite a few of the handlers when they went through training with their dogs. They’re all great people who are really passionate about their jobs!
-
For all the advanced detection technology we have developed over time, nothing beats a dog and it’s nose.
-
I love how the narrator says "poopy" in the most serious voice possible
-
I had a dog like this in San Antonio the last time I flew. The lines went super fast. Nice and efficient. Great program!
-
Having served in Directorate General of Civil Aviation in India, I know the importance of safety and security of passengers and the planes. A person on the job may skip or slip, but dogs won't. You are safe. Now a days there are machines to do job. (Particle Analyser). Thanks for the video.

The best part about them for me is I get to see a cute dog! And seeing them there makes me feel nice and safe
