Drug detection dogs operate across a wide range of environments where preventing illegal substance use is essential. Typical deployments include nightclubs, festivals, educational institutions, airports, ports, logistics centres, workplaces, and correctional facilities. Each dog is expertly trained to identify numerous controlled substances such as cannabis, cocaine, heroin, MDMA, ketamine, and the unlawful possession or distribution of prescription drugs.
