Technical Survey Dogs (TSDs) are transforming land release. They search 25–30m lanes in dense vegetation, without manual gridding or vegetation cutting, getting safe land back to communities faster, without compromising safety.

“APOPO’s scent detection animals, nicknamed ‘HeroRATs’ and ‘HeroDOGs’, help to rid the world of landmines and tuberculosis – returning safe land back to communities for development, and freeing people from serious illness so they can get back on their feet.”

A vigilant golden retriever named Polly noticed something was off with her owner, Adam Cooke of Ireland, as he slept. Cooke was breathing strangely, which got Polly to bark until Cooke’s wife, Hannah, awoke to find her husband’s labored breathing. Then he stopped breathing altogether.

APOPO’s HeroDOGs are trained with patience, praise, and play — and they work safely.
They’re never put in danger: trained to detect explosives from a safe distance, then rewarded with toys, rest, and care from their handlers.

APOPO uses #clickertraining to teach #HeroRATs to associate the “click” sound with a food reward. This motivates them to perform tasks like detecting target scents. Their favorite treat? Mashed banana and avocado! 🐀🍌🥑

Brick wall training helps our #HeroDOGs sharpen their sniffing precision and focus. The dogs search cavities in a brick wall that contain different scents and indicate the target odor by sitting and pointing their nose. This builds confidence and consistency. #APOPO #CanineHeroes

Every year, millions of #tuberculosis cases go undiagnosed.

APOPO’s #HeroRATs use their powerful sense of smell to detect TB faster, cheaper, and more effectively—while creating local jobs.

More cases found. More lives saved. 💙

A few short reads from last night: A few #StarTrek volumes and "The Lone Cyborg" from Pets in Space 9. @hphillipsauthor.bsky.social's Cyborgs on Mars series is so fun! Rugged MMCs and strong-willed FMCs. Love the chemistry and heartwarming moments ❤️ #romancereader #scifiromance #booksky #herodogs

Our Technical Survey dogs undergo brick wall training with scent-filled cavities, some with explosives, others neutral or empty. This step-by-step method sharpens their focus and accuracy, ensuring they’re ready to face real-world demining challenges. #APOPO #HeroDOGs #MineAction
