AWDA Certified K9s Sniffing Out Mold Gasses
Sick, exhausted, and no one can tell you why?
In Arizona, hidden mold is often the missing piece.
Brain fog. Fatigue. Migraines. Sinus issues. Skin problems. Autoimmune flares… and more.
"Being told 'all your labs look normal' while your body is screaming that something is wrong."
If this is your reality hear this clearly:
You are not crazy. Your symptoms make sense.
Hi, I’m Susan Russell, founder of Mold Dog Knows.
I lived through mold illness myself, which is why this work is deeply personal. At Mold Dog Knows, we don't guess, we pinpoint. Our K9 teams are TRUE EXPERTS who are certified through AWDA, a valid 3rd party standard that verifies real accuracy -- because missed mold keeps families sick and false alerts costs thousands in demolition. AWDA certification is open to any team willing to meet this standard. This isn't about competition, this is about protecting vulnerable families and raising the bar for the entire industry.
We chose the harder path, so you don't have to. Because you deserve to be safe in your home.
Why mold is such a problem in Arizona homes
The perfect storm for growth:
Extreme Heat & Intense Sun Exposure
Monsoon Season Heavy Rains & Flash Flooding
Rapid Day-to-Night Temperature Changes
Dry Climate Causing Foundation Shifts & Cracks
Dust Storms Affecting Roofs & Ventilation Systems
Aging Homes with Heat-Related Wear & Tear
Even “dry-looking” homes can harbor mold inside
Behind Walls
Subflooring
HVAC systems
Behind cabinets
Under carpeting
Finished basements
Air tests often miss these hidden sources. That’s why so many Arizona families stay sick without knowing why.
When doctors can't explain your symptoms
Common Misdiagnoses:
• Chronic fatigue
• Anxiety or depression
• Fibromyalgia
• Allergies
• IBS or SIBO
• Autoimmune disease
• Stress
THE MYCOTOXIN FACTOR
Mold releases mycotoxins - toxic compounds that can affect your brain, immune system, hormones, nervous system, lungs, skin, gut, and more.
If You Feel Sick in Your Home and Better when You Leave, That is a Massive Clue.
Why AWDA-certified K9 mold detection is different
MVOCs – the gases
These gases travel through materials, allowing our canine to pinpoint exactly where mold is hiding — even behind walls, under floors, in insulation, or duct work.
(Canine are not scientifically proven to detect those — and anyone claiming otherwise is not honest or uninformed.)
Our dogs are certified through the American Working Dog Association (AWDA)
...the same organization trusted by law enforcement for explosives and narcotics detection. This is the first and only third-party certification for mold detection in the U.S.
Validation Standards:
Independent Third-Party Evaluation
Two-Phase Blind Testing Protocol odor Recognition & Real-World Conditions
Scientifically Relevant Target Odors
Strict Performance Criteria
Qualified & Credentialed Handlers
Annual Recertification & Continuing Education
Alignment with Scientific Standards (SWGDOG)
100% on Mold Sample Detection
No Industry Bias
We are the only K9 Mold Detection company in the nation overseen by...
Steven Antommarchi, international K9 detection expert, trainer, evaluator, and AWDA board member.
He does not certify our teams — independent evaluators do —but he ensures our training meets the highest scientific standard.
