Mine Dog School, Pretoria, South Africa
MineTech's Dog School runs a successful
breeding and training programme for both Mine Detection Dogs (MDD)
and Explosive Detection Dogs (EDD).
The Dog School is situated in an idyllic location near
Pretoria, South Africa. The 25 hectares of open bush provide
a realistic training area for the dogs where they can
acquire the motivational force, focus, stability and good
adaptability needed for effective fieldwork. Following a
recent kennel expansion programme, the Dog School is now
able to comfortably accommodate over 140 dogs.
   The expertise of the dog handlers is the key ingredient
to ensuring the success rate of the dog teams. The relationship
between the handlers and the dogs is paramount to this
process and therefore all handlers are also trained at
the Dog School to cement the bonding process.
