How are sniffer dogs and security dogs trained?
Drug detection dogs and security patrol dogs have different roles. When arranging dog handling support, start by explaining whether you need drug detection, a visible security presence or both as separate services. Fast K9 Security Limited can discuss these requirements for suitable UK sites, subject to operational availability.
Training for the assignment
Detection work focuses on identifying target odours. General K9 patrol work supports a visible security presence and agreed site patrols. The assignment needs to be clear so that suitable dog handling support can be discussed.
Explain the setting, access arrangements, operating hours and the people who will be present. A workplace, event and vacant property can have different practical requirements.
Handler training and dog care
All Fast K9 Security Limited dog handlers hold NASDU Level 2 handler training. Relevant security staff hold valid SIA licences and are BS7858 screened and vetted. Dogs used for K9 security work are vaccinated.
Before arranging cover, discuss the work required, reporting arrangements and site contact. Tell us if you need drug detection dog hire as well as patrol support so each requirement can be considered separately.
