Detection Services
“Forged for Purpose. Driven by Instinct.”
We develop reliable, ethical, field-ready detection teams. Whether your goal is professional deployment (narcotics, explosives, electronic storage media) or advanced sport / personal contraband screening, our Detection Training Services deliver a systematic path from odor acquisition to operational proofing.
Why Professional Detection Matters:
A detection dog’s value is measured in accuracy, independence, and clarity of final response—not how fast the dog sniffs or how intensely it searches. Poorly structured imprinting creates guesswork, handler dependency, false indications, and erodes credibility in any investigative or legal context. We anchor every phase to observable performance metrics and the Four Phases of Learning (Acquisition → Fluency → Generalization → Maintenance).
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can my existing patrol dog add detection?
Yes—after evaluation. We ensure foundational obedience & neutrality, then sequence odor work to avoid conflicting reinforcement histories.
Q: Do you use pseudo or real substances?
We follow legal, safety, and policy guidelines—utilizing approved training aids (real, pseudo, or a validated combination) with strict contamination control.
Q: How often should we train after certification?
At least 2–3 structured detection sessions per week plus monthly blind proficiency testing.
Q: What if my dog starts guessing?
We diagnose (reinforcement timing, handler cueing, search design) and implement targeted proofing or odor clarity drills before patterning errors become entrenched.
Q: Can you help with courtroom articulation?
We provide educational coaching on documenting training & deployments to support credibility (not legal representation).
