Multi-National K9 (MNK9) is proudly supplying fully trained Explosives Detection Dogs (EDD) to clients both here in Australia and overseas.
The dogs pictured with Gary are two MNK9 trained dogs currently deployed operationally in Australia.
All EDDs complete a minimum three month scent detection program on an extensive range of odours, combined with a comprehensive canine handler training course. Once completed, a thorough verification and testing process is undertaken before certifying them as operational EDD teams.
Both these dogs and their handlers are working very well as EDD teams but no one expected how soon one of them would get an operational find.
In their first week of deployment, one of these dogs was conducting an operational search when a positive indication was made. The indication was on a staging crew’s travel case. Without going into the operational procedures when the dog makes a find, it turned out that the case had previously been used to store small explosive charges used for pyrotechnics. Great job team!
