Our scent detection specialists are puggles named Jeter and Scarlet who trained at J&K Canine Academy in High Springs, Florida by the renowned Jose "Pepe" Peruyero, a retired K-9 police officer who has been scent training dogs for 18+ years. Their dogs are trained to detect the scent of live bugs and viable eggs, not dead bugs or cast-off skins. As part of their standard training procedures, their canines (including Jeter and Scarlet) detect live bed bugs on a daily basis and are capable of detecting as little as one adult bed bug. Upon completion of their training at J&K Canine Academy, Jeter and his handler David & Scarlet and her handler Joe earned their accreditation by the National Entomology Scent Detection Canine Association (NESDCA) as a certified bed bug detection team.
