A group of nearly a dozen US Secret Service agents brought along K-9 service dogs and specialized US Secret Service equipment to be ready for duty. The K-9 dog team, with their “bullet-like” speed and deadly bite when required, are an effective shield on the roads that President Donald Trump travels.
The K-9 service dog team is part of the core security layer, tasked with scanning and detecting everything within 100m of the US president's position. K-9 service dogs are also considered masters in detecting explosives. Service dogs can run like bullets at a speed of 60-80km/h and deliver a bite that can take down the opponent in a split second. Trained service dogs are capable of attacking vulnerable areas such as the neck, thighs, and lower body of the opponent with the most perfect technique.
Normally, there are about 20 service dogs in the entourage accompanying the US president on foreign trips, however this number is not fixed, depending on the agreement between US security and the host country's security.

K-9 police dogs have a special talent for sniffing out explosives. |
These dogs belong to the K-9 unit of the US Secret Service, established in 1977. The K-9 unit has about 75 working dogs, each worth about $9,000, and they are trained for 5 months at the James. J. Rowley Training Center in Laurel, Maryland, which covers an area of more than 500 hectares and includes 31 buildings.
At the center, police dogs are trained in special skills before being assigned to bomb disposal teams and security checks at hotels and buildings where the US president will visit or stay.
After completing their assigned tasks for the day, they remain with their handlers for the rest of the day. The dogs are carefully bred. They live, breathe, sleep and eat with their handlers. Every week, they undergo 8 hours of retraining.
