Performance Kennels, Inc.
At Performance
Kennels Inc. training detector dogs is our specialty.
The majority of our
single purpose detector dogs are from the sporting or
hunting groups such as Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers,
Spaniels, or a mix thereof. These “softer” looking dogs
tend to blend in and are used by narcotics officers who deploy
the dogs in plain clothes without giving the impression that
they are “police dogs”.
Imported German Shepherd dogs, GSD / Malinois cross, or
pure bred Malinois are also available for single purpose use.
Either way, we select highly driven, yet very social dogs whose
searching skills and drives are unsurpassed.
Our narcotic detector
dogs are pre-trained to the passive alert for marijuana, hash,
cocaine, crack, methamphetamine / ice, and heroin.
Once the dogs are trained we spend up to 3 weeks with the
new handler working the dog in various scenarios and
environments to ensure that the canine team is as effective as
they can be. The
training includes case law review, search warrant “boiler plate”
language, and a canine first aid class taught by a DVM who
specializes in emergency veterinary care and understands the
needs of the working dog.
All detector dogs come with a health guarantee and are
guaranteed to be suitable for working as single purpose law
enforcement or private sector detector dogs.
Tracking can also be added to these detector dogs for
those who are in need of a non aggressive tracking dog.
