Frequently Asked Questions About Protection and explosives detection dog teams

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Pond Security's explosive detection dogs are used in air cargo handling, at airports, at events, in government buildings, and at military facilities. Detection dogs offer a fast and reliable alternative, particularly in situations where bulky cargo is difficult to screen using X-ray technology.

Our dogs undergo structured training that focuses on scent detection, explosives detection, personal safety, and emergency response procedures. Handlers are trained concurrently to ensure optimal teamwork. All methods comply with the provisions of Section 11 of the Animal Welfare Act.

Pond Security holds the official authorization required under Section 11(1)(6) of the Animal Welfare Act for the training and deployment of dogs. Our explosive detection dogs are certified by the Federal Aviation Authority, which ensures legal compliance for their use in regulated air cargo screening.

Our dogs are trained to detect all common commercial and military explosives, including TATP and HMTD. Thanks to their highly developed sense of smell, they can reliably detect even the smallest amounts, even in well-hidden or camouflaged locations.

While technical systems such as cameras or sensors rely on digital data, detection dogs react instinctively and flexibly. They can act in real time, neutralize threats, and intervene in situations that might overwhelm a purely technical solution.

Strong together, safe together.
