We recommend agencies select their canine(s), 30 days prior to the start of class which allows us to pre-train basic obedience, imprint narcotics or explosives and imprint tracking; preparing the canine for training.
We pride ourselves in training high quality social canine(s) for law enforcement, government and private security.
After the completion of training any team may return for training assistance or refreshers at no charge for the working life of that team.
