Our Dogs

All our dogs have a strict medical, physical and mental Pre-screening before they are considered.

A potential detector dog is one that has not been trained to detect an explosive or drug odor. These dogs exhibit pronounced interest in looking at, pursuing and holding reward objects.

They also have a pronounced independent olfactory search behavior (i.e. sniffing)

All our potential detector dogs have an aptitude of going in "SIT" position to indicate "TARGET" of search. We have dogs that sit automatically on cue (either command or odor) and dogs that accept the sit-training procedure with ease, without disrupting the search behavior or reward object interest following the sit.

The target of search may be Reward objects and range of neutral substances such as anisole or eucalyptol etc, or the reward object placed together with the target odor.

All our dogs are desensitized and bold in response to environmental stimuli such as interiors of building, slick surfaces, elevated surfaces, stairs, noisy objects, crowds of people, and other stressors/distracters. Even under unfamiliar stressful situations they behave confidently and fearlessly. Our dogs maintain a good temperament and discipline under stress.

Our dogs have a strong drive and focus for reward objects. The reward object is usually a Kong or a ball. These dogs have a tendency to resist distraction and always maintain high levels of interest for reward objects. All our dogs have a huge retrieval drive and are very eager to retrieve thrown reward objects. Even after possession they maintain a keen interest in the reward object.

In general our detector dogs display the following behaviors and traits:-
1) Continued interest in the reward object
2) Keen perusal of thrown reward object
3) Strong Olfactory search behavior
4) Sustained uninterrupted search behavior
5) Passive searching (i.e. No scratching, clawing or biting objects in the environment while searching)
6) High physical stamina / physical activity
7) Handler-friendly and friendly towards persons approaching the handler in a friendly or neutral fashion.
8) Completely obedience trained.
9) Friendly behavior towards other dogs.
10) Dog are trained to detect either drugs or explosives only.

All our dogs accept a muzzle and being placed in and removed from a dog crate. While in a muzzle or in a crate they always maintain a calm temperament.

All pre-trained detector dogs have the qualities of "Potential detector dog"
Pre-trained detector dogs display vigorous and independent olfactory search behavior, clear recognition of drug or explosive odor accompanied by distinct changes of behavior, accurate and skilled localization of odor source, withholding of final response until localization, prompt and reliable final response once at source. They are able to detect and localize odors in the following areas: - (Warehouses, vehicles, buldings, baggage, sports grounds/theaters and on a person- or approximate equivalents).

They can indicate training aids hidden at different heights and depths. All our dogs independently indicate the presence of training aid using a "sit".

All our dogs have a focused and continued search behavior under gunfire. Our dogs are acclimatized to working in hot environments and to cover very large areas. They have high levels of physical activity and stamina, and a high degree of resistance to thermal stress.

Minimum additional training is required form the client for customization.
Drug odors used are heroin, cocaine, hashish and marijuana (in 3, 5, and 10 gram amounts, or approximate equivalents).

Explosive odors used are smokeless powder, C4, TNT, sodium chlorate, potassium chlorate, water get, ammonia dynamite (in amounts 1/2 to 1 pound or approximate equivalents).

We use German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, rotwiller, doberman and Dutch Shepherds form proven working lines for our patrol dogs. These dogs exhibit steady/sure behavior under gunfire, strong aggression in response to threat form a decoy dressed "in civil" (not wearing any obvious bite equipment), pronounced interest in biting and holding decoys wearing bite sleeves, a strong and full bite, and steadiness under threats while biting.

All our dogs are desensitized and bold in response to environmental stimuli such as interiors of building, slick surfaces, elevated surfaces, stairs, noisy objects, crowds of people, and other stressors/distracters. Even under unfamiliar stressful situations they behave confidently and fearlessly. Our dogs maintain a good temperament and discipline under stress.

All our dogs are desensitized and remain calm, inquisitive, and steady/sure and move about freely under gunfire.

In general our potential patrol dogs display the following behavior and traits:-
1) Eagerly pursue and bite the decoy.
2) They pull towards, bark at, threaten or attempt to bite a threatening decoy dressed "in civil"
3) They are fearless and have confrontational behavior when approached in a menacing manner
4) They have a powerful, deep, strong and steady bite.
5) Committed on holding onto a bite even when under threat from a decoy.
6) Aptitude to re-attract, or transfer interest and attention from the bite sleeve and stay focused on the decoy after the sleeve is dropped.
7) Confrontational, fearless and have controlled aggression under gunfire.
8) Behave calmly towards and do not bite at the handler.
9) Friendly behavior towards other dogs.

Muzzle and Crate Training: - All our dogs accept a muzzle and being placed in and removed from a dog crate. While in a muzzle or in a crate they always maintain a calm temperament.

All pre-trained Patrol dogs have all the qualities of "Potential Patrol dogs"

Pre-trained Patrol dogs have an advanced level of training in Obedience, agility, controlled aggression, building search and steadiness under gunfire.

In general our pre-trained patrol dogs display the following behavior and traits:-
1) They are able to perform obedience tasks like ("sit", "down", "stay", "recall to heel", "walk at heel" etc)
2) They are put through the toughest agility courses and can go through (Dog walks, stairs/steps, a-frame, window hurdle, smoke screen other types of hurdles, tunnel, and 3 barrels, or similar obstacles)
3) They are taught to remain steady at heel and will pursue on command only.
4) The dog is taught to pursue and attack running decoys. They have a solid bite and are committed to holding on to it until the handler gives the command to "out". These dogs are trained to guard the decoy intently until they are recovered by their handlers.
5) Our dogs are taught to stand-off on command while in pursuit. The dogs go in a "sit" "stand" or "down position" from which they guard the decoy intently, until they are recovered by the handler.
6) The dogs are taught to escort decoys at a distance of 10-15 feet.
7) Our Patrol dogs are trained to attack decoys, even if the decoy attacks the handler quietly. The attack is a solid bite, which the dog does not let go until commanded by the handler. The dog then guards the decoy intently until recovered by the handler.
8) The dogs are trained to locate the decoys by scent in a building. They indicate the decoys position by a scratch, bite, bark, jump or stop and stare. The dog then guards the decoy intently until recovered by the handler.
9) Gunfire proof: - Our dogs are desensitized and remain calm, inquisitive, steady/sure and always remain at the handler’s side under gunfire.
