SPECIALIST DETECTION DOGS
MINE DETECTION DOGS
The detection of mines (Landmines) with Dogs known as MDD (Mine Detection Dog’s) is the most critical element of an effective and cost-efficient mine-clearance operation.
During the last decade, enormous investment has been made in many areas of research, various organizations and individuals have experimented and developed advanced techniques and training methods to offer and to enable mine detection dogs (MDD’s) to be one of the most promising avenues for making demining operations faster and less expensive.
W.J.M. International and Global Dog Academy enforces such techniques and continues to develop so as to produce, market and provide a efficient, effective and reliable dog to perform correct and accurately and to enhance the MDD's capabilities to improve the tool box as an extra advantages asset in the world of Land Mine Detection.
The use of dogs for mine detection has expanded and improved dramatically in the last ten years.
However, research and practical experiences we have had enables us to explore, develop and to understand the limitations that does form part of this valuable asset.
One of our core principles are to teach and to get people to understand and to realise the importance of having a professional combination of handler and dog, so as to enable them as a team to perform and act professionally and to ensure they have comprehensive knowledge and information to effectively perform the tasks and responsibility of the work relating to the issues of Mine Detection.
W.J.M. International and Global Dog Academy therefore strive in improving and understanding the skills limitation of Dogs and to Optimize and maximize there operational deployment and performances and to educate others in raising the awareness to increase the confidence in their capabilities and work performed.
ARMS AND EXPLOSIVES DETECTION
Despite new and ever more sophisticated technology, nothing is more mobile, versatile, reliable or discriminating than the firearms and explosive detector dog.
These firearms and explosive detector dogs are an essential element in the fight against urban terrorism and organized crime. Provided clients are aware of a dog team’s capabilities and limitations, they are a cost effective and efficient asset, regardless of task.
In the civil sector, sanitization of routes on VIP visits is the predominant role but every facet of anti-terrorist dog work is within their repertoire.
Needless to say, control is a major requirement of dogs in such high pressure work.
The bulk of search dogs are drawn from the gun dog breeds, English Springer Spaniels and Labradors.
Other popular dogs, Collies, German Shepherd and Malinois with strong retrieval instincts are also being utelised successfully.
Search dogs require expert handling, and handlers with a military or police background are favored. W.J.M INTERNATIONAL and GLOBAL DOG ACADEMY training meets that criteria.
Everywhere is a search area, from railway lines to a conference hotel, and the search dog team must be 'Jack of all trades' and master of every one.
From the prospective clients' point of view all search dogs should exhibit concentration, drive, determination, control and a clear positive indication.
NARCOTIC DETECTION DOGS
PRO-ACTIVE SEARCHING
The pro-active dog normally does not confront the public and is therefore permitted a natural indication which the dog feels as natural and or comfortable with.
The main users are normally Government Agencies, harbours, Customs and Airports but the market is rapidly expanding in the civil and private sector.
We also encounter on a daily basis and by request that the need for trained dogs in the commercial and industrial fields has become of paramount and a demand for well trained dogs in this discipline has become a necessity.
Drug detection dogs have a high commercial value being employed in the front line in fighting the war against drugs.
PASSIVE SEARCHING
The passive response drug detection dog is trained to detect drugs hidden and or concealed on or within the person.
Working in public areas, particularly at airports, harbors or public venues the dogs monitor people passing by and indicate by sitting at the suspect.
The choice of dog used in these disciplines can vary from smaller dogs as in the Springer Spaniels to the bigger breed as in the German shepherd and Malinois type.
