What is a Double Blind Search?

A double-blind approach in Search and Rescue (S&R), Detector Dog training, and Tracking denotes a scenario where neither the dog nor the handler is aware of the location of the hidden find, the victim, or the track direction in question.  Handlers that consistently hide their own training aides or consistently lay their own tracks are only kidding themselves that they are or will become an effective dog team.  Implementing double-blind searches is important but they need to be started at the right time of a training program.
