Role of canine training devices used for homeland security and defense: a systematic review of the literature over the past twenty years. Rev. Crim. [online]. 2022, vol.64, n.1, pp.155-175.  Epub Sep 03, 2021. ISSN 1794-3108.  https://doi.org/10.47741/17943108.337.

The training of working canines employs various conditioning mechanisms, allowing for superior subsequent performance, counteracting the illicit drug system, criminal organisations, organised armed groups (GAO) and residual armed groups (GAOr), guaranteeing the safety and security and civic coexistence in Colombia. Therefore, a qualitative approach is proposed by means of a systematic review of the literature between the years 2000 and 2020 within the databases of Scopus, Elsevier and Scielo, with the objective of analysing the role of technology and devices to train detecting canines. As a corollary, there is evidence of an increase in the production of articles from the years 2000 to 2019 (from 6 articles to 86). Additionally, among the tools used in the studies, there are boxes; clickers; electronic collars and carousels, which discriminate odor, using reinforcement systems, with differences depending on the type of study, the number of animals and the training objective. As a conclusion, it is necessary to develop suitable prototypes according to the training needs in each context, continuing with studies that effectively integrate stimuli and the reinforcement systems to impact the results in the performance of the working dog.

Keywords : Civic security; technology; Canine performance; positive reinforcement.
