The International Explosive Detection Dog Association serves in a world leadership role for the bomb dog community, facilitating teamwork, networking, research, training, and act as the final decision making authority on guidelines and standard procedures for explosive detection dogs. Since the terrorist attack on 11 September that killed over 3000 Americans, the demand for explosive detection dogs (EDD), handlers, as well as qualified trainers has skyrocketed. Government agencies and private canine companies are scrambling to push out dogs and handlers as fast as possible.
