At IronTails Security, our explosive detection dogs are extensively trained to detect a wide range of explosive substances, from commercial grade explosives to improvised devices and military grade munitions. Our dogs, operating across the mainland UK, provide an essential first line of defense for people, assets, and infrastructure in high-risk environments and they provide the precision, discipline, and accuracy needed to deter and detect in fast-moving, sensitive, and high footfall locations, all with very accurate results.

Each dog in our explosive detection program has been through a structured, scenario-based training regime, which replicates actual operational conditions as closely as possible. The dog training scenarios have covered exposure to different types of scents and different types of distracting environments, detection performance and reliability is paramount and dogs must be trained to keep their focus under pressure. All of the explosive detection dog training is based on static and mobile search standards using vehicles, luggage, buildings, open areas, and areas designed for public uses on a larger scale. The finished product is a calm, alert, and responsive dog that can provide a fast, accurate, reliable outcome in a real-world environment.

Handlers are selected with care and professionally trained to work with and alongside their dogs as partners. All teams are trained to NASDU standards, ensuring that they observe best practice recognized everywhere in the UK as the industry standard. This accreditation provides operational quality that governs the delivery of the service, and ensures safety, legality, and effectiveness in all conceivable platforms and contexts in the security industry.
