Our bomb detection dog handler courses stress that safety is paramount and we work to ensure that handlers are able to effectively work bomb detection dogs in the safest method possible.
Bomb detection handlers are taught to efficiently sweep convention centers and large public venues, roadways and parking areas, conduct checkpoints as well as other missions that these handlers are tasked with completing. We insist that all of our handlers are completely comfortable with their new partner before completing our courses. Our rigorous scenario-based certification program ensures that our handlers are completely capable of performing effectively when they return to the field.
