Detection Dogs & Training Services
Detection Dog Sales
We provide suitable dogs trained to your personal or project requirement, delivering nationally or internationally. From single member deployments to full-scale multiple member units, we have the experience to deliver detection dog capabilities that bolster your security team.
K9 Detection Services
As an industry leader in Australia for providing explosives and drug detection dog services, our teams are fully trained and certified to exacting standards. We conduct searches for a large range of target materials in various environments with dogs imprinted on real odour – NOT pseudo.
Handler Training & Consultancy
K9 Detection Team Training
The K9 Centre is proud of our custom-tailored K9 Detection team training and management programs. This service can be standalone for already developed K9 Units or layer on top of our detection dog training and sales. We support your requirement via online and/or onsite course delivery, helping you build and sustain your Detection Dog teams.
Specialist K9 Consultancy
Our consultancy service applies not only to dogs trained in demanding disciplines but also to the embedded K9 units, handlers, instructors, and management personnel. We bring experienced service delivery to our clients for both domestic and international projects.
Family Protection Dogs
Our family protection dogs are a safe, reliable asset for your family. The protection training program we develop is based on a detailed assessment of your particular requirement, with training conducted in a home and lifestyle environment relevant to your needs.
Once trained to the agreed-upon level, we test the dog's capabilities in relevant scenarios to ensure competency and help you understand its potential while developing your handling skills. We maintain the highest level of privacy and discretion while working with you and your family.

We don't have a large number of dogs in kennels to choose from. We will source and train a dog for you or train your dog if suitable. This program takes time, so quick timelines are not offered.

Identifying dogs with suitable drives, intelligence, and traits to ensure successful graduation.
Specialized Training
Developing skills specific to the deployment environment, whether Military, Federal, or State Police.
Individual Development
Creating detailed training plans for each dog within the K9 Unit based on their unique requirements.
