About NPA Explosive Detection Dogs

NPA Explosive Detection Dogs is a non-profit organization which trains the dogs for the detection of the landmines that have taken many lives in Cambodia. Dogs are trained extensively to sniff out the explosives. They present shows which start with the Cambodian history and the landmine effects, followed by safe landmine detonation by the trained Belgian dogs. It is wonderful to watch the dogs sniff and find the hidden landmines, it presents the great teamwork of the humans and the dogs. The place is a must visit, all the proceeds of the shows and tickets go to the welfare of the center.
