Training detection rats, such as those used for mine detection, typically takes around nine months and includes rigorous accreditation tests. Initially, these rats learn to associate a click sound with a food reward, usually banana or peanuts. As they progress, they are trained to indicate TNT, after which they receive a click sound and food reward. These specialized rats play a crucial role in locating landmines safely, enabling trainers to excavate them without risk. Their training also includes walking on leashes and familiarizing them with vehicles and offices, emphasizing their integration into the training environment.
