Dog sniff against cunning caches: everyday life of cynologists customs

Here before our eyes, the cynologist Captain Arthur Kushumbayev, together with his pet - Spaniel Jesse - check parcels for the presence of drugs. Jesse zippers through the tape with the parcels and freezes near the cardboard box. It's a sign there's something illegal inside.

Jesse found prohibited products of plant origin, such as hashish in agricultural machinery, says the cynologist. - We also found synthetic drugs. He also participated with a service dog in investigative activities conducted in conjunction with the police. They detained the mortgagee at the place of residence, and during the examination of the apartment, the service dog found synthetic drugs.

And also smugglers use as hiding places handle suitcases, double bottom suitcases, cylinders. Fantasy is inexhaustible.

There was a case where contraband was hidden in a consignment of canned animal feed. However, the smell of meat, sausage and cheese customs dogs from the trail can not knock. They will find prohibited goods without any problems.

The cynologist also mentioned that villains use even children's soft toys as smuggling caches.

There was a case where an attacker asked the driver of a long-distance bus to take a stuffed toy with him and hand it over at the final point. During customs control of the bus, the service dog showed interest. As a result of an inspection inside the toy, a prohibited substance - amphitamine was found.

A lot of parcels with prohibited substances are detected from Thailand, China, India. Basically, these are potent, psychotropic substances, as well as narcotic drugs of plant origin.

They train dogs to look for not only drugs, but also weapons and ammunition, money, amber, objects of CITES - exotic animals

Artur Kushumbayev says that customs dogs are always on guard even after hours.

With love tells the dogman and about his favorite Jesse. She likes a variety of dog food from beef. Taste preferences are taken into account when preparing customs dogs for work and training.

There are dogs that are trained by the game method. It's taste-enhancing, at the expense of treats, like Jesse. And in general, all our preparation is based on love for dogs and caress - the cynologist smiles.
