About this listen

Rachel Holdforth was one of the very first detector dog handlers. Rachel talks us through the initial pairing of detector dogs with handlers, matching dog and handler personalities to form the best possible combination. She also discusses her initial training and how handlers often had to improvise when the detector dog program was in its infancy.
