Canine Services

Right People... Right Tasks... Right Now

Chilport (UK)'s canine services division is amongst the best in the world. It excels in training dogs and handlers to meet the ever increasing demands in the war against terrorism, with it's arsenal of explosives and weapons. Together with the increasing fight against narcotics and illegal immigrants.

The canine services division is headed by a former RAF Police specialist who was formerly responsible for training of explosive and drug dog teams for the Royal Air Force, Royal Navy, HM Customs, Hong Kong Customs and the United States Air Force in Europe.

The canine services division is situated at the headquarters of Chilport (UK) at Portland, Dorset where there is a transit kennel compound and canine husbandry centre. Most UK-based dog training takes place at Portland. Clients are welcome to visit our facility by prior appointment only.
