Are there any dog-training facilities in Thailand? Dogs can be trained to detect things, which can benefit our sniff-challenged species. They have been shown to be effective in detecting explosives, drugs, human remains, firearms, bedbugs, termites, ants,
They have even been shown to indicate cancer or diabetes in humans – a lot quicker and cheaper than a full-tilt hospital check-up. Even when scents are disguised with other smells, sniffer dogs can often be effective. This could be an opportunity for entrepreneurs able to train such dogs. Dogs could be used, not only in Thailand, but possibly leased or sold for use overseas. In southern parts of Thailand, in particular, being able to sniff out guns or ammunition might be helpful in trying to stem senseless killing.
