Drug dog detection training and handler classes at the Tennessee facility of Positive Response Canines offers training for K-9 drug dogs and handlers. Training for both drug dogs and their handlers meet the standards set forth by the U.S. Customs Service for drug detection by K-9 units.
The 112 acre drug dog training site has a 10,000 sq foot building that provides numerous opportunities for K9 drug and narcotics search scenarios. PRC provides on site outdoor areas that simulate realistic traffic stops and vehicular drug searches. Stationary vehicles are also used to hone the detection skills of both the drug dog and handler. Off site dog training locations are also used that add to the variety of drug training opportunities.
It isn't just about finding the drugs ....
Positive Response Canine's goal is to train drug sniffing dogs and their handlers in the tried and true methods of a proper drug search as well as incorporating training in the necessary record keeping to allow the case to stand up in court. Class size is limited to ensure intense individual training for both the drug dog and handler.
All the K-9 drug dogs pictured on this web site were trained at the PRC facility. All drugs and money shown were seized by police narcotic teams using dogs trained by Positive Response Canines.
PRC also offers trained cell phone detector dogs. These dogs are trained in Passive Response techniques to specifically locate cell phones. We train non-threatening breeds that work well in the prison setting.
With the ever expanding problem of cell phones now being introduced into our State and Federal Prison systems for illegal purposes, it has become increasingly important for Correctional Facilities to have the means to find and eliminate this contraband.
Inmates have cell phones smuggled into prisons in a variety of ways to further their criminal enterprises while behind bars. They order retaliation against witnesses, conduct phone fraud scams and plan many other activities that are harmful to society and disruptive inside the prison's facility.
When you purchase a cell phone detection dog from Positive Reponse Canines you also get a handler’s course for your officer so they can provide the highest caliber of service for your Institution. Your handler is also taught proper training techniques to ensure their canine is properly maintained for the highest quality of service possible for your agency. Refresher courses for cell phone sniffing dogs and their handlers are also offered.
