The General Purpose Dog

The general purpose dog is utilized to locate live human scent. The OVERT dogs are trained to locate human scent in a variety of situations. The dogs are trained to track the path a victim may have taken or search off lead in an attempt to locate the scent in the air leading back to the victim. They are also trained to search a building or collapsed structure for a victim or will be used to find the clues or articles that the victim may have left behind.


General Dog

Our K9 teams do not focus on one deployment type instead we trained the dogs to respond the scent of a live person no matter the situation. As the dogs are trained by using a drive motivation technique they must be highly motivated and be of even temperament.
