Definitions
1. Building Search: K-9 will search a building for suspect and will bite on command during day/night.

2. Muzzle Work: The K-9 must engage with muzzle on at all times.

3. Stand Off: K-9 will be sent on bite and will have to stop on command before biting the suspect.

4. Pat Down: K-9 stands and guards suspect while handler searches him if suspect tries to move or show any threat the K-9 will attack the suspect.

5. Civil Work: K-9 must be able to engage when decoy comes at him without equipment.
 
This course is designed to prepare the officer with the knowledge he needs to work his K9 at the highest level in real life scenarios.

Our training methods will equip the K9 unit to work as a team to ensure a productive outcome.

We offer a three week course for handlers that require a dual purpose K-9. This is an extension of the two week course with bite work and tracking.

Courses should begin late fall early winter.
