Buried searches are meant to model conditions that search and rescue dogs might find in the field with locating remains or objects underground or underwater. Our version in bins, with essential oils, and in a range of environments provides complications not seen in a typical search. Handlers often are frustrated by their pass rates and dogs may be confused by the presentation of odor through sand and water.
