International K9 Institute is the only accredited explosive detection dog team in Finland, operating in accordance with both BOSH standards and NASDU requirements. These internationally recognized accreditations ensure that our services meet the highest standards of safety and quality.
NASDU (National Association of Security Dog Users) is a globally respected organization that sets strict requirements for security dog operations. The EDD (Explosive Detection Dog Team) certification guarantees that our dogs can reliably and safely detect and indicate a wide range of explosive types.
International K9 Institute (IK9I) is also the only BOSH-accredited company in Finland and the only explosive detection dog team approved under BOSH standards. This internationally recognized accreditation confirms that our operations comply with stringent global safety and quality requirements.
Our highly trained dogs detect explosives with precision, while our certified handlers and blasting expert ensure that every step of the process is managed safely. When required, we also deploy excavators and air blowers to access drill holes or buried explosives exactly where the dogs have indicated.
For us, safety is not just a promise – it is the foundation of everything we do. We manage the entire process, from detection to safe disposal, with certified expertise and full compliance with international standards.



High Quality
Our explosive detection dogs are trained in accordance with the United Nations’ Explosive Detection Dogs Quality Standards (UNOPS EDD Quality Standards).

“For us at Swerock, occupational safety is paramount. Fortunately, we have not had any accidents, but I have been looking for a solution to ensure the safety of the blast sites. Now the solution has finally been found and I challenge other players in the industry to use special detection dogs on their construction sites too.”
– Ismo Kivimäki , Regional Director of Swerock.
