Drug Dogs & Drug Dog Handler Training

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

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

Global Training Academy provides the highest quality drug dogs, drug dog detection services, and drug detection dog & handler training for the military, government and private sectors. Our narcotics detection dogs and narcotic drug sniffing dog teams have set the highest standard for the whole K9 industry. We are experts in narcotics detection and narcotic detection drug dog training.

Our drug dog teams are prepared for deployment nationally or internationally. With today's risks everywhere in the world, our drug sniffing dogs and narcotics detection canine teams are a must. NO other K9 training company in the world has ever placed and/or produced as many drug detector dogs as we have. Global Training Academy is the number one producer & supplier of certified drug dogs and drug dog teams. For our complete list, detailed information, and locations of where we presently have and/or have placed our drug detector dogs please visit our "Working K9 Map" by clicking here.
