Detection Dog Trainers Course
Our Detection dog trainers
course is designed to teach the student how to select and test dogs for
narcotics or explosives detection as well as how to train and maintain these
dogs. This course provides the student with both lecture and practical,
hands-on training with dogs that we have in-kennel at various stages of
training. This combination of lecture and practical training through each
step of selecting, developing and training a reliable detection dog will
provide the solid foundation needed to be a successful detection dog trainer
and handler.
Students are allowed to bring up to two (2) dogs with them during the course. This offers the student the opportunity to not only train the dogs that we have at our facility, but to also work with their personal dogs.
