Explosives detection dogs | K9 Training Center

Explosives dogs

Especially since terror reappeared in Europe through the use of explosives by terrorist groups, the call for more security has been loud.

Once again, it was our four-legged friends who were part of the solution.

Explosives dogs are employed by the army, the police and now by private security companies.

Depending on their service, they search buildings, people, luggage or cargo for explosives.

Concrete examples are sweepings of football stadiums, concert halls, searching cargo before it is loaded onto an aircraft, explosives dogs in airports, etc.

Classically trained Explosives Dogs

Our team is highly skilled in training explosives dogs.

Our facilities are unique.

We achieve excellent results with explosives dogs trained by our training staff.

REST method

We train both traditional explosives dogs and dogs that search using the REST method.

REST means Remote Explosives Scent Tracing.

This is a very innovative method whereby detection dogs can screen large quantities of caro for explosives in a relatively short period of time.

The air is sucked out of a truck, container or air cargo box and collected in a special filter. The filters are then placed behind cones in a separate room. There the dogs smell the filters in the cones.

REST training rooms

The training team of K9 Training Center is highly specialised in this method.

Our company has two separate rooms that are equipped to train dogs in this way.

Check out our 'Facilities' section to see images of these unique rooms.

Training for handlers of explosives dogs

The K9 Training Centre offers training for dogs to learn how to search for explosives. Both in the classical way and in the REST method.

Because the work is not done by the dog alone but together with its handler, we also offer training for handlers.

Johan est une véritable encyclopédie ambulante lorsqu'il s'agit des pedigrees des bergers malinois. Grâce à ses années d'expérience en tant qu'éleveur de haut niveau, son rôle au sein du FMBB, en tant que retraité, en tant qu'entraîneur, ... on peut faire aveuglément confiance à quelqu'un qui connaît son métier. La qualité avant la quantité.

The K9 Training Center is truly unique. I have seen many training centers all over the world. It doesn't surprise me at all that Johan has accomplished this. It is the logical consequence of his many years of activities. Only the best is good enough for Johan. I am a little jealous, but he is very lucky.
