Protection Dog Training : K-9 Guard Squad (ASF)
The present dog squad (K-9) of AEGIS comprises nine well-trained German Shepherd dogs. Ex-dog trainers from Remount, Veterinary, and Farms Corps (RVFC) of Bangladesh Army are detailed to handle the dogs for ensuring appropriate training.
Protection Dog Training Techniques: K-9 Dog Squad
Our training techniques are comprehensive and can transform ordinary dogs into vigilant protectors. Our approach is centered around fostering a strong bond between handler and dog. Resulting in a highly confident and motivated working dog.
What sets our program apart is our commitment to positive reinforcement techniques. Our dog training curriculum focuses on building a strong foundation of obedience, scent detection abilities, alertness, and aggression control. Security dogs use their smelling power to follow the scent of target and catch up a moving object . In dog training classes, we command our- highly intelligent security guard dogs the following activities:
- Detecting explosives, drugs, firearms, and accelerants.
- To perform the task of security checks at different national and international event venues
- Identify hidden or buried substances
- Search and rescue for lost or trapped people in buildings, vehicles, or other structures.
- Apprehend suspects and criminals
- Crowd control to deter potential criminals and reassure the public.
- Tracking suspects who have fled from a crime scene, to find missing persons, and to track down escaped animals.
