In the army, the gendarmerie, the police or in guard and civil security, the missions of this extraordinary agent and the animal are very varied. The principle: use the sensory and behavioral qualities of the dog in order to monitor, investigate, search (drugs, currency, explosives, disappearance, rescue…) to protect and even to support in combat in OPEX.
Canine equipment, but when and for which dog breeds?
Harness, muzzle, collar, non-slip leash… Julius-K9 is the leading brand on the European market for protective equipment and accessories for dog owners and therefore dog handlers. To choose the right equipment, the dog officer must first choose it perfectly suited to the size and build of his dog. He exercises his profession effectively with a dog aged 18 months under the CCNES (understand National Collective Agreement of Security Companies). This age of 18 months corresponds both to the end of the dog’s growth as well as to the end of his education and training period. In short, this is the moment when it is considered operational in the field.
