Specialist Search Dogs

Search dogs have helped to safeguard our ports and airports for many years. With recent increases in terrorist activities, the demand for search dogs has increased. Our teams are regularly deployed at private and public areas in order to assist in searching for unwanted and illegal substances.

Proactive Search Dog - The main objective of pro-active search dogs is to detect the presence of drugs, explosives or other illegal substance in the area. Our dogs are trained to search a variety of locations such as buildings, vehicles, large public venues,  fields and open spaces.
 

Passive Search Dog -  With the dog on a harness and lead, the handler walks the dog through groups of people without making bodily contact. The dog will indicate the presence of any illegal substances on an individual by sitting in front of that person. The handler will then enable the appropriate officials to deal with the person indicated by the dog.
