ACT Detection Dogs are very proud to be able to record that the recent G8 summit of the world's most powerful leaders in L'Aquila Italy from the 8th - 10th July were protected by 15 Labradors specifically trained as explosive detector dogs selected at our own kennels in Downpatrick over the past months.

The team of dogs were put through very vigerous selection proceedures over a period of three days and they had to pass exceptionally stringent veterinary tests as is always the norm with this agency.

Our directors now have a very strong relationship with the regime that operate the training school of the Italian State Police at Nettuno near Rome and have been invited to attend later this year.
