CaninesWe select many of our canines from top breeders in Europe. These breeders have a history of providing the finest German Shepherds, Dutch Shepherds and Belgian Malinois in the world.
In addition to acquiring the best detection canines in the world by means of purchase, we have developed our own breeding program. We breed only our very best canines to cultivate superior working dogs with the most desirable characteristics for detection dogs. In addition, this program ensures that our canines receive the very best care startingfrom the time they are born, including diet, regular veterinary health care, and regular exercise and play. Our puppy-training program focuses on socialization with people and other canines, confidence building, and desire to work. Since most of our clients do not want apprehension canines, we do not train our canines to bite. Our canines have little or no aggression toward people or other animals. If we observe overly aggressive behavior in one of our animals, we secure a place for it with a local police department or other canine professional who requires an aggressive animal. Our teams work in diverse environments with many potential hazards and unforeseen circumstances. It is important that our canines remain confident in unfamiliar surroundings. We work carefully to build each canine's confidence with specific and positive reward-based training.
We treat our canines humanely and with the respect they deserve. We house and transport them in a clean, temperature-controlled environment. We provide them with regular veterinary care and routine physical hygiene. |
Our
canines are renowned for their work ethic. When working on-site,
it is vital to have a canine with the ability to maintain focus
for extensive periods of time. The breeds we select are known for
their abilities to combine a keen sense of smell for detection with
the needed discipline to avoid distraction. All of the breeds
we utilize are renowned for their physical stamina and mental focus.
Once
a canine has reached the proper level of maturity, we begin detection
training. The training program is multi-faceted and therefore,
must be tailored for each canine. This training process usually
takes between 90 and 120 days depending on the canine. After
a canine has completed detection training, they progress to on the
job training. This step is critical to ensuring that a canine will
become a successful member of our squad because of the sensitive
nature of our business and our clients.
