Security dogs or sniffer dogs are useful and offer a unique perspective when used for security purposes. As humans, we perceive life predominantly through sight, whereas dogs rely on their sense of smell to interpret their environment. A search dog’s sense of smell can be up to forty times greater than the average human, opening up opportunities for searching and tracking. Not only this, but security dogs have better hearing, often locking onto sounds from a greater distance.
Commonly used to locate and find specific items or substances, search dogs are useful in niche scenarios. We work with our clients to ensure they receive the best security detection dog's based on their criteria. This can include drug, explosive as well as pyrotechnic detection.
Every First Response Canine security team holds NASDU accreditation, upholding the highest standards of professionalism and skill. This qualification involves regular professional training, so you are assured that your security team remains at the forefront of new search and detection techniques.

A canine security team provides a more effective security solution than several static security officers, making it the ideal solution to supplement or replace traditional guarding arrangements.
Dogs are popularly used in patrol services, where their superior speed, hearing, agility and sense of smell can identify intruders far quicker than any trained security guard.
This type of patrol is often a deterrent in itself, as the majority of criminals will avoid any sites or businesses with a canine patrol, choosing to target more vulnerable settings with weaker security.
