The correct answer is D) 1, 2, 3 and 4. All the listed factors are responsible for the success of warning and detection by a dog. The handler’s ability to read the dog’s signals, the concentration of the scent the dog is detecting, the environmental conditions like density of vegetation affecting scent and movement, and the dog’s physical fitness and health all significantly impact its performance in detection and warning tasks.

Successful K9 detection and warning depend on a combination of the dog’s innate abilities and training, the handler’s skill, the specific scent conditions, and the surrounding environment.

A skilled handler is crucial for interpreting subtle changes in the dog’s behaviour that indicate a find or warning. Scent concentration affects how easily and quickly the dog can locate the source. Vegetation density can disperse scent, obstruct the dog’s path, or hide the target. A dog’s fitness ensures it has the stamina and focus required for prolonged search or patrol duties.
