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.
