KONG detection canine team’s training course is based on our pioneer project to develop and promote worldwide common standards in scent detection for the private section. For this reason, in order to assure the quality of the results, we implement United Nation’s Explosive Detection Dog Quality standards, as these are considered among the highest standards globally. Moreover, our instructors who are involved in these training courses are certified by European Union and deliver relevant training courses for law enforcement agencies and security companies around the Globe. This training course is designed by adult education experts employed by the Croatian private school “Gaudeamus” along with our instructors. Our aim is to provide a worldwide recognized certification for all of our students. Following the same quality procedures as in law enforcement agencies, we delivered KONG detection canine team’s training courses. As a result, our training courses are in line with Animal rights and vocational training. This training course is the epitome of dog detection training and is addressed to students having the vision to become professional dog handlers in the private section. As a result, this course will widen the horizons of dog trainers and breeders to provide their trained dogs in security companies. Additionally, this course is addressed to pet owners willing to strengthen their knowledge in detection training and to participate in NOSE Sports competitions. KONG detection training course is designed in a way that no products needed (explosives, narcotics, etc.). The detection dogs after the certification can easily imprint products in order to be deployed in several companies worldwide.
