Narcotics Detection Dogs

dog training in charlotteNarcotics detection dogs are trained to your specifications with an aggressive (scratch) or passive (sit) alert. Narcotics detection dogs are trained to indicate on the following odors: marijuana, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamines and derivatives. At Highland Canine Training, LLC, we don't just train successful drug detection dogs...we train successful drug detection dog teams. A majority of the drug detection dog teams that we have trained have had substantial seizures, some within only a few hours of returning to duty. That's because we ensure that our dog teams are completely confident and well trained in criminal interdiction in addition to learning the necessary skills to be an effective canine handler. Our courses teach handlers every aspect of handling detection dogs from properly searching vehicles, avoiding liability pitfalls and successfully prosecuting narcotics detection canine related cases in court.
