New handlers receive instruction from experienced k9 handlers and current and retired law enforcement officers and deputies, in addition to guidance from Larry Filo. The instructors have general and specific knowledge in various areas of K-9 training, case law, unified tactics and administration. All materials and equipment are included.
Our Police K-9 Handler School runs 4 weeks with the times spent in teaching the Officer how to read and handle their K-9. Our K-9's typically go home with their new handler 3-4 weeks prior to the start of school for bonding, with them returning 1 day per week to work with their K-9.
Our K-9’s are trained prior to the handler arriving at the class so we spend our time teaching the handler how to read and understand their partner while on the street.
Most of our instructors are present or retired K-9 handlers with many years of street experience to help the new officer learn to understand all aspects of being a K-9 handler.
We offer a written standard by which all of our K-9’s are certified. We certify in narcotics, utilizing DEA Narcotics, tracking, building and area searches, aggression and control of the K-9.
We are available for contact on a 24 hour basis.
