  • Airport Security: Beyond military and law enforcement, K9 Detection teams are crucial for airport security. They provide a swift and efficient method for passenger, baggage, and cargo screening at an affordable cost, compared to the high expenses associated with detection equipment.
  • Search and Rescue Missions: The specialized training of our dogs for search and rescue, including man trailing, can be the difference between life and death during natural disasters, mass casualty events, and in finding missing persons.

 

Specialized Leak Detection:

Our sniffing dogs are not just limited to security tasks. They are also trained to:

  • Detect Gas and Oil Leaks: With the ability to locate gas and oil leaks accurately and efficiently, our dogs are invaluable in preventing soil contamination and ensuring pipeline integrity.
  • Identify Leaks on Oil-Cooled High Tension Cables: Our canines can detect underground leaks in oil-cooled high tension cables quickly and accurately, overcoming the limitations of traditional measurement equipment.

In every role, our Detection Dogs stand out for their accuracy, efficiency, and the ability to operate in environments where traditional methods may falter. Their diverse capabilities ensure that they are not only a cost-effective solution but also a reliable and indispensable asset in maintaining safety and security across various sectors.

Our protection dogs are expertly trained to excel in crucial security roles, specifically tailored for:

  • Venue and Event Security: They ensure the safety of various events and venues, providing a secure atmosphere for attendees.
  • Patrol and Intervention Operations: Designed for defense and law enforcement organizations, these canines are adept in patrol duties, officer protection, suspect apprehension, and securing sensitive areas.

 

Support for Law Enforcement and Military:

Our protection dogs serve as indispensable allies in law enforcement and military operations, where they engage in patrol, intervention, and security tasks. Their involvement is critical for the safety and efficiency of these operations, safeguarding personnel and premises against potential threats.

Security for Private and Public Entities:

Expanding their services beyond the public sector, these dogs also play a vital role in the private sector. They are trained to screen people, vehicles, and premises, enhancing security for businesses, harbors, and events. This ensures a fortified environment against unauthorized access or potential security breaches.

Versatile Security Solutions:

Our protection dogs offer versatile and dynamic security solutions, capable of adapting to various environments and requirements. Whether safeguarding a high-profile event or conducting patrols in sensitive locations, these dogs are a reliable line of defense.

  • Deterrence and Detection: Their presence alone serves as a deterrent to potential threats, coupled with their ability to detect and neutralize risks proactively.
  • Tailored Security Approaches: Recognizing the uniqueness of each security need, our dogs are trained to deliver customized security responses, ensuring optimal protection across scenarios.
  • Commitment to Excellence: We are dedicated to maintaining high standards in training and care for our protection dogs, ensuring they meet the physical and mental demands of their roles effectively.

Training Center

We are constantly developing and improving new and better methods to achieve the greatest results, respecting animal health and wellfare at all time. 

Obedience and Behaviour

Obedience training is done to provide you with convenience and control over your dog, everywhere, anytime. This training can sometimes be a very challenging task, so our trainers use extremely effective methods to teach your dog to listen to your commands even around distractions or in challenging, noisy, or stressful situations. We have a successful track record of correcting extreme behaviour and are on standby to give advice and support to you and your dog to deal with behavioural problems as anxiety, aggression, dominance, food aggression, not listening and other challenges.

Detection and Protection

The Detection Dogs we train are selected on three categories of behavioural characteristics: detection characteristics, trainability/tractability, and environmental characteristics. Detection characteristics are related to the style and intensity of interrogation and search for explosive odor. Trainability/tractability relate to the various cognitive, behavioural, and social characteristics necessary to be trained to perform the particular search requirements. Environmental characteristics refer to the collection of traits enabling a dog to work effectively in the particular search context, such as a large event venue, crowded mass, or military combat. 

 

The Narcotic Detection Dogs are specifically trained to detect various illicit substances. Through this training, they learn to recognize the latest narcotics odors in the marketplace and respond appropriately when confronted with those scents in real-life situations.  

 

Protection Training is often widely misunderstood. This type of training is traditionally done with police dogs and operational security dogs but is becoming more and more popular with family/personal protection dogs too. Security or Protection training will provide you and your dog with enhanced control and stability beyond that of normal obedience training.

Search and Rescue

It may seem like a dog obsessively focused on play would make a poor working dog, but for search-and-rescue work, this is actually an ideal characteristic. A dog that will chase a tennis ball for hours would most likely also keep on running and working in the most challenging circumstances, through storm, rain, snow, in mountains or swamps to find his ball, so someone can throw it again for him. That game-factor is crucial for Search and Rescue dogs. The central job of a SAR dog is to find a human (scent/trail) and effectively alert his handler to its location. The dog has to be trained to complete his task in all conditions, regardless of weather or distractions.  

 

Not all SAR dogs perform the same type of searches.

We train SAR dogs to complete three different types of tasks: 

 

  • Air Scent (or area-search) Dogs –means that the SAR dog must find people in general 
  • Tracking (or trailing) Dogs–means that the SAR dog is given a specific scent, from for example a piece of clothing, to track an individual down.  

 

Both types overlap, but the distinction between the two are the training process and how the dog participates in missions. A third type of search is conducted by following ground disturbances, which means that the dog is following footprints and other traces left behind by an individual.

Dog Handler, Train the Trainer or Instructor Courses

We do not only train dogs. We provide as well a full range of canine training courses to motivated individuals, designed to equip students with the knowledge, skills and understanding to enable the safe handling of dogs and to optimize the benefits of using working dogs for specific purposes. Next to the basic Dog Handler course, we offer also a “train the trainer” course, which goes deeper in the behavioural aspects of training working dogs. Our instructor course is an advanced course, developed specifically for experienced dog handlers and trainers, to allow them to train independently, in all situations dogs for special purposes, to be used in exceptional circumstances or with exceptional behavioural problems.
