1. Detector Dogs are very important part of Border Force! Look at the following video [Facebook] explaining the role of these dogs: 2. These Detector Dogs need to be socialised as puppies and the Border Force relies on families to look after the puppies from 8 weeks of age until 15 months old. The dogs then get trained for months and start work until they are about 8 years old when they are retired to other families. Read the following to find out about the role of Foster Carer
"The Foster Carer Program is vital to the success of Detector Dog
Program breeding and development. Without the support of the community it
would not be possible to provide each puppy with the necessary social and
environmental conditioning they require.
Being a foster carer
Would your family be suitable as a Foster Carer Home?

Change it up - Concentration Primary Middle Secondary Australian Curriculum General Capability: Personal and social capability Cooperative Learning Activity
1. Border Force Officers have to have excellent powers of detention by their attention to details. You can play this game with one other person or have the whole class play. Participants will need to form two equal lines facing each other.
2. The game starts when one line turns around, giving the second line 40
seconds to change 10 things about themselves. This can include anything from
jewellery or clothing being swapped with other people, untied shoelaces, a
different hair do, or a switched watch or ring to the other hand. All
changes must be something the other group can see.
3. After 40 seconds, the first group turns around and tries to find all the
changes the other group made.
4. Once the changes have been recognized, the groups switch, giving each
team a chance to make changes. This game will stimulate your minds and challenge your memory. How did you go? Were you as good as Sherlock in this following video clip?
