A special K9 unit from a country in the Middle East, followed a SWAT K9 training and Bomb dog course at the LiSAR Police Dog Center.

LiSAR November 2011, Workshop for the Guyana Prisons Service, in corporation with Pro detection SAR Ltd.

LiSAR K9 Training is almost the only company worldwide with real Search and Rescue experience, selling dogs and to give SAR training under one roof. LiSAR accomplished more than 65 SAR missions. For Search and Rescue training we use the INSARAG Guidelines and Methodology.

The Brunei Government contacted LiSAR K9 Training for to train the Gurkha Unit to handle Search and Rescue dogs. The assignment was: To teach the students to handle Search and Rescue dogs and Human Remain detection dogs. And train the students with the dogs up to the stage of a advanced Search team. The most dog breeds are not useful to work in the tropical climate of Brunei, so we advised the Government of Brunei to use Mechelse Shepherds (malinois).The students had to pass the theoretical and practical tests of the beginners -course, before they could go to the next stage of the advanced SAR.

Pro Detection SAR Ltd is located in Trinidad and Tobago and is the only NGO group of its kind in the Caribbean.

LiSAR K9 has developed a joint venture relationship with Pro Detection to provide the highest standards of training and services to the governments and people of the Caribbean region.

LiSAR K9 has been actively training this dedicated group in Narcotic detection, Explosives detection, Search and Rescue, Human Remains and Cadaver detection and Swat with their dogs.

Singapore Civil Defence Force.

The Singapore Government realized that there are now certificated SAR K9 available in the of region Asia.

The Singapore Government contacted LiSAR,  to give SAR courses and delivery of eight young SAR dogs.

The assignment was: Teach eight students to handle Search and Rescue dogs and train the eight dogs up to the stage of advanced / experience SAR DOG.

For this project, LiSAR developed a new training method, based on IRO SAR Urban standards and useful for the Singapore Civil Defence Force and the regions of Asia.

This was necessary because the most breeds are not useful  in this tropical climate, so we advised the Singapore Civil Defence Force to buy eight Mechelse Shepherds (malinois).

LiSAR tested over 40 dogs and out of those 40 dogs we selected eight suitable dogs.

The first part, the beginners- course, we planned in The Netherlands and Belgium.

The second part, the advanced course we planned in Singapore. The time between the first course  and the second course is, because the dogs had to be in quarantine and to  acclimatize to the tropical heat.

The third part, the certification for overseas missions , we planned in Singapore.

The students had to pass the theoretical and practical tests of the beginners-course, before they could go to the next stage of advanced, and then to overseas missions course.
