Using Explosive Search Dogs to Secure High Traffic Areas


If you own a mall, run a large school, manage security at a university, are a manager at a bank, or oversee any other high traffic area, you should closely consider acquiring an explosive search dog. Fact is, such high traffics areas will likely be the first places targeted during any sort of terrorist attack. Protect the people under your care or who are enjoying your facilities by hiring specially trained security canines.

As Brad Croft of Universal K9 points out, “There's really no better alternative to finding explosives and weapons than a well-trained canine. Machines, pat downs, and other methods simply aren't as effective.” Moreover, if you oversee a public area, shouldn't you provide the most effective protection available? Doing so will ensure the safety of students, pedestrians, customers, or anyone else.

Of course, acquiring an explosive search trained canine is only the first step to ensuring security. Handlers must also be taught how to effectively manage and oversee the canine itself. Beyond the proper methods for basic care, handlers must know how to effectively use the dog for searching for explosives and weapons.

We are a leading provider of dog handling training. We know that well-trained dog handlers are every bit as important as having a top-notch search canine. So if you are thinking about acquiring a search dog, make sure you invest in training one of your employees, or yourself, in how to handle the canine. With our training workshops and world-class search dogs, you can set up a highly effective K9 unit!

Beyond searching for explosives, dogs can also be trained to search for weapons, such as guns, and also drugs. Dogs are very versatile animals and their extraordinary sense of smell makes them useful for searching for just about anything that gives off a smell, no matter how faint. So if you are thinking about acquiring any type of K9 unit, make sure you get in touch with Universal K9; we can help you build the team that will address your most pressing needs.

You can also contact Universal K9 to arrange a sweep with one of our dogs. If you have received a bomb threat or suspect that an employee might be bringing a weapon or anything else illegal to work, an explosive search dog can be brought to your business to conduct a sweep. We will help you uncover any dangerous items or illegal substances in your workplace.
