SERVICES
Explosive Detection Team
These dogs are trained to find all explosive scents laid down by the National Association of Security Dog Users (NASDU) as a national guideline. They work off lead in a harness under control of their handler who will use verbal commands and body movement to control the dog. They can work day or night, given sufficient lighting is available.
They are trained to search any area, building or vehicle of any size, also great for getting into areas humans can not. The breeds chosen are high in drive and can cover a search area rapidly and is very cost effective. So far, no piece of equipment can do what a dogs nose can do making it the best asset on the market for that extra level of assurance. Can be deployed discreetly.
General Purpose Security Dog Team
This capability is a massive force multiplier to anyone looking for security patrols, lessening the need for more manpower. Just the presence of a General Purpose Security Dog team on site will act as a visual deterrent to any would be intruder. Most intruders when challenged will not put up a fight to a security dog team. These dogs are chosen for there presence and drive.
They can be employed 7 days a week, day or night in all weather bar the most inclement. Because of their keen sense of smell and hearing, a dog has the ability to detect a hidden intruder that might be missed by a normal patrolling guard.
These dogs work on lead under constant control of the handler who is trained in reading the signs given by the dogs body language. The dogs aggression is trained on humans body language thus making them less of a hazard when working in busy environments.
Other classifications availalbe on request;
Drugs Detection (Passive and Proactive), Pyrotecnic Detection and Tabacco Detection.
(More information to be added shortly)
We currently run the majority of our training out of our headquarters at Corby Business Centre.
Our Head Trainer Jasmin is an ex-Army Dog Trainer and gun dog trainer before that. She is currently a trainer/member of the National Association of Security Dog Users, National Training Inspectorate of Professional Dog Users and British Institute of Professional Dog Trainers.
Our courses and continuation training sessions are run in small groups to ensure all trainees and handlers have the maximum amount of one to one time. The training is kept realistic, with trained decoys and live scents. We like to ensure all trainees/handlers and dogs walk away happy and confident in their new skills and abilities.
To keep training varied we have the ability to use local venues to conduct longer sessions and searches, and conduct scenario work for courses.
Together our training team can run the adjacent courses.
