K9 Research & Development
Breakthroughs in Detection Techniques
Cutting-Edge Research in K9 Training
Braveheart Bio-Dog Academy boasts its own research unit and specialised laboratory, headed by owner John Greyvenstein, who holds a BSc (Zoology) (Hons) and an MSc in Genetics. His MSc thesis was dedicated to Working Dogs. The research unit made a significant breakthrough in 2005 in the detection of narcotics and explosives by sniffer dogs, enhancing accuracy and safety for both handler and dog.
By developing training aids that contain a small amount of vapour of the target substance, Braveheart’s team tames dangerous substances like explosives and narcotics. These aids are not dangerous to trainers or dogs and cannot be abused. Proper precautions ensure they are protected against contamination and securely stored.
During international trial runs, resounding success was achieved with both the preparation and testing of training material, and the training and assessment of dogs and handlers. The new technique was successfully demonstrated during an Open Day at Braveheart Bio-Dog Academy on 10 June 2005, showcasing narcotics detection dogs trained in less than two weeks.
