TRAINING FACILITY

Our training facility is situated just outside Pretoria, in the Seringveld Conservation Area. This environment

suits us well in preparing the dogs to be deployed in any area in Africa. The kennel facility is close to the

world-renowned Onderstepoort Veterinary facility, and is also within 1 hour’s drive from OR Tambo

International Airport. Once the dogs complete their training and become certified, they are housed at the

sites to which they are deployed.

Training takes place on-site and in the surrounding areas. This ensures the dog and dog handler’s

knowledge of their areas of responsibilities, enabling them to detect anything out of the ordinary. On-site

training also creates word of mouth about the dogs and their crime-deterring abilities, through

dayworkers, contractors and visitors who witness the training.

Validations by a third party take place on-site at least once a year, to ensure that standards of the K9 unit

are consistently maintained. Through our partnerships with numerous security companies in Gauteng,

many of our teams are deployed at residential and commercial properties, which we also use as

socialisation sites for our young dogs.

All teams comply with the minimum standards as set by PSIRA and SASSETA. In addition, all teams will also

comply with the US Army Regulation 190-12, NAPWDA and the UN suggested Frontex training

methodology and international standards, ensuring teams of the highest calibre and professionalism. De-

mining/UXO dog teams comply with the International Mine Action Standards (IMAS).
