About Critical K-9 Detection

Critical K-9 Detection is first a private detection service and second a trainer, which makes it unusual in the Eastern Panhandle. The business describes itself as "Veteran Owned and Operated" and lists "K-9 Training, Narcotics Detection, Explosives Detection, Tracking , Articles and Much More."

What they do

The core service is private K-9 detection – sweeps carried out for a client rather than lessons for a pet owner. The site says quotes are free and "Price May Vary," that the business is licensed and insured, and that hours are "7 Days A Week 24/7."

Training

Training is the newer line, and the site states it plainly: "We now offer Dog Training from basic obedience to advanced detection and protection & Boarding." So an owner who wants basic manners can book here, but the depth of the operation is in working-dog detection, and that is what the rest of the page is about.

Practical notes

The website is a short single-page site with no program detail, no prices and no staff biographies, so treat the phone number as the real front door. Ask what a detection sweep covers and what a training program looks like before booking – the two are priced very differently.
