Bomb Dogs & Bomb Dog Handler Training

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

Global Training Academy established the standard for bomb dogs certification when the company was founded in 1984 this standard was carried over from the U.S. Military.
Our bomb dogs standards have stood the test of time and we are recognized as a leader in training bomb dogs and bomb dog handlers.

Global Training Academy provides the highest quality bomb dogs, bomb dog detection services, and bomb detection dog & handler training for the military, government and private sectors. Our explosive detection dogs and explosive bomb sniffing dog teams have set the highest standard for the whole K9 industry.

Our bomb dog handler training is designed to train a person on how to handle an explosive detector dog.

General Safety

It is important to remember even in training you are dealing with very dangerous substances. With careless actions you can cause severe damage or bodily injury.

We will teach you everything you need to know to conduct your searches safely.

Time of Detonation

In some actual searches time is critical; and with that in mind, training is conducted to prepare teams for that situation.
