Stop mold dogs

mold_pets would like to tell you about dogs that are being used to sniff mold in peoples homes. At this present time, we are waiting on reseach of the dogs health studies from Bill Whitstines from the research studies.



Frequently Asked Questions... That Bill recieves.. Question: What breeds of dogs can be used to detect mold? Just like with bombs or drugs, many different breeds of dogs can be trained to detect mold. Hunting breeds are great tracker dogs - particularly effective are Labs, Border Collies, Jack Russell Terriers, Aussies, Beagles and other combinations of these breeds. Question: What are the general characteristics you look for when choosing to train a Mold Dog? Bill looks for dogs that are friendly, energetic, intelligent and have plenty of drive. Question: How old are the dogs you train? Bill looks for dogs that are 10 months to 3 years old. Question: How many years will a mold dog be able to work? Eight to ten years, barring any physical or other difficulties. Question: How long does it take to train a Mold Dog? It takes between 600 and 800 hours of individual training to completely train a dog to accurately detect mold. Question: Where does Mold Dog get its dogs? Bill rescues most of the dogs he trains from the Humane Society of North Pinellas in Florida. However, Bill will also train owner pets provided the pet meets certain personality and instinct criteria. Question: What kinds of mold will the Mold Dog find? A Mold Dog is specifically trained to alert (sit) on at least eighteen different kinds of the most common toxic molds. If a dog alerts, there is a mold issue which signals a moisture problem, i.e.: leaky pipe, etc. Question: Do mold spores have distinctive smells? Yes. In fact, dogs can smell active or inactive mold spores. It's the same with arson dogs and lamp oils listed as odorless - human's can't smell the oil, but dogs are able to smell it. Question: If some molds are bad for humans, won't they also be bad for dogs? No. Dogs have an amazingly acute sense of smell and a unique ability to purge odors and other contaminants from their olfactory organs. Consider that the outdoor environment contains thousands of molds, pollens and other allergens. We know that when dogs go outside, they are constantly sniffing the ground and anything else they can get into. Research suggests that dogs are simply not affected by various particulate matter in the same way that humans are affected because of their unique purging ability. Additionally, thousands of arson dogs in the U.S. and elsewhere are constantly exposed to significant amounts of toxic fumes and no adverse health effects have been documented in more than 15 years of their use. Finally, Mold Dog handlers receive extensive training about when and how to use dogs in building structures, ie: if visible mold is present, there is no need to use a dog. Question: Does a Mold Dog need ongoing testing and evaluation to essentially stay “calibrated”? Yes. Upon completion of the initial training period, the dog is certified to detect and pinpoint at least eighteen different kinds of the most common toxic molds. Thereafter, each Mold Dog receives quarterly testing and annual recertification.

	Medical mycologists will tell you that animals are no less susceptible to the threat of toxic mold than humans. The attempt to use mold dogs for sniffing out mold is dangerous to animals and must be discouraged. It is not funny, it is not cute and not to be promoted. At NJMI we do not use animals to do the scientific investigative or research work required. There is no reason to do so. There is no reason to do so. We only used degreed, certified, experienced and trained scientists to do this type of work It is commonly known that mold inspectors and investigators can and at times develop serious respiratory and dermatalogical disease and illness. This happens with the improper use of personal protection equipment (PPE). These diseases at times can result in death. We humans can go to a doctor for checkup and when we feel ill we can express it to our physician. Our beloved animal friends dogs, cats, horses all have not been so gifted to speak for themselves and rely upon us to care for them. We need not say more than our pets at home are no less susceptible to rignworm, respiratory disease and other mold fungal infections from Microsporium Canis and the many other pathogenic fungi.

		Their are people trying to exploit dogs as a novel way to find mold. Toxic mold hurst all animals. Please support the stope the use of mold dogs. This is an information page.
