CASTELLVI GUIMERA, JL. Effectiveness in dog detection in the military: proposal for an evaluation standard. Sanid. Mil. [online]. 2019, vol.75, n.2, pp.98-101. ISSN 1887-8571.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s1887-85712019000100007.

The use of detector dogs is widely implanted among the Armed Forces and Police around the world. But each country, and even often each branch of the military, has a different training system for these animals, making it difficult to establish a standard against which to measure their performance in developing such a practice. Through a literature review of canine ethology studies, the author attempts to determine what is the minimum percentage of detection we can expect from a dog to say that it is properly trained, so that it becomes a valid and effective standard by which to measure the results of detection dogs in the Armed Forces.
