Libertine K9

Welcome to Libertine K9. Although a new arm of the ever growing Libertine Group we are already suppying an excellent Canine Support Unit to our operations in Pakistan. We are using highly experienced Dog Training Professionals from the UK Military to provide a complete Canine Guarding Service. We select and train the dogs ourselves. This can be done ‘in-country’ or we can import dogs if required.  Once the dogs have been selected they are vaccinated and only when we are happy with their vets assessment will we put them forward for the training programs.

We provide a complete training service under our Guard Dog / Protection Course to new handlers and dogs which includes the following:

- Capabilities and Limitations of a Guard Dog.
- Obedience (leashed and Unleashed).
- Wind Scenting Training Techniques.
- Dog Release and Recall Techniques.
- Baiting and Patrol Techniques.
- Prisoner Escort.

We also operate a detailed training program for the welfare and care of our dogs by their trainers which includes Grooming, Kennel Routines, First Aid and Health and Safety.

We are implementing a wide range of training techniques for the dogs to provide a comprehensive service to our clients to meet their site and asset security needs. These services include use of the AES Dog Training Course (Arms/Explosive Detection).

A well trained AES dog will provide a mobile, quick and versatile aid to serch operations over a fairly large areas. They are trained not to be distracted by strong smelling compunds such as petrol and disinefectants, the dog can reduce the time spent searching and also work in places that a person would not be able to reach easily. The dog will be able to detect metallic and non metallic deivces including ammunition, weapons and explosives. They will also recognise booby traps, weapons and explosives common to terrorists. The handler will be able to operate the dog in open and confined spaces and under demanding conditions if so required. The course covers the following aspects of dog training:

- Classifiction of Explosives.
- Indoor and Outdoor Search.
- Route Searches.
- Area Searches.
- High Risk Searches.
- VIP and Venue Safety Searches.
- Vehicle Searching.
