The K9 explosives bomb dog handler is a special breed of professional. They are highly trained to work with dogs that are trained in detecting and locating explosive materials. Team K9 provides professional K9 handlers who are certified by the United States Department of Homeland Security, National Explosives Detection Canine Program (NEDCP). These highly-trained professionals have undergone extensive training and testing to ensure that they are qualified to work with their canine partners in order to provide the highest level of protection for their clients.
The K9 handler works closely with their canine partner, providing direction and reinforcement throughout the detection process. The handler must also be able to read their dog’s body language and behavior in order to recognize when a potential explosive material may have been found. They must also be able to assess a situation and quickly make decisions on how to proceed. In addition, they must be able to work in various types of environments, from open fields to more enclosed spaces like airports and courthouses.
When it comes to the human side of the job, the handler needs to be able to communicate well with their canine partner, as well as with other humans. This means they must be able to effectively communicate with their superiors, clients, and colleagues. Furthermore, they must be able to maintain calm under pressure and stay focused on the task at hand. Ultimately, the K9 handler must be passionate about what they do and possess a great deal of patience and dedication.
