K9 Training
Our K9 training is a highly advantageous method and system used, for detecting explosives and other illicit substances, however, unlike other detection schemes, the canine leads the handler. After the handler positions the canine in a desired location, the canine detects scents in the air that come to the canine. When the canine detects a trained scent, the canine leads the handler to follows behind the carrier of the item with the scent.
With the use of the new POWER WAKE training device, we can induce detector canine to a high level of independent and search behavior, teaching the canine that the source of a target odor is not limited to stationary objects, teaching the canine to follow the scent cone of a moving target, teaching the canine to sample air currents and to follow the scent cone to the target and give a final response.
Selecting area and positioning a canine, recognizing the canine's change of behavior when the target odor is detected, identifying a carrier of an item emitting the target odor. Selecting of a choke point, for a crowd, people standing in line, people moving and people standing still, manipulating the air currents using an air manipulation device.
Induce dog-driven detection method which is distinguished from traditional canine detection methods which are “handler driven.” In this manner, a sniffing target comes to the dog (usually on a lead) rather than the dog going to the sniffing target. Ability to screen large numbers of persons passing through a given space without affecting the persons through the space. Create training to be able to overcome distractions such as noise, commotion and ancillary environmental odors, to prevent loss of tracking of the target odorant. Increase motivation to sniff and search independently and in a non-obvious manner to disguise handler, and be able to be applied in varied environments such as transit systems, venues for large public event gatherings such as stadiums and buildings, areas of commerce such as shopping malls and military environments.
The K9 team will learn how to assesses air currents/movement in the search area and ensures the canine has access to productive areas (specific locations in a search area that provide the dog higher probability to encounter the substance odor), determined by air currents/movement. The canine will learn how to search independently, without guidance, specifically searching the air for the substance odor v***r trails or scent pools generated by a moving or stationary target. The canine's deployment is adaptable to various environments such as stationary checkpoints, crowds, moving lines of people and any area of pedestrian activity.
Training will be conducted at the actual deployment sites to further learn about air currents, human traffic flow and best practices for deployment. Training should also include new or unknown areas to the team allowing them to practice the best option for deployment.
