Police K9 Bomb Dogs

Bomb Detector Dogs & Handler Training

When we started our company there was no standard for bomb or drug dogs in the civilian community.

Global Training Academy established the standard for bomb dog certification when the company was founed in Oct 1984 This standard was carried over from the U.S. Military.

Our standard has stood the test of time and we are recognized as a leader in training bomb dogs, drug dogs, and mine finding dogs and the people to handle them.

Our bomb dogs can be trained to detect many explosives per request; please contact us for more information on the explosives available.
