TK9 CONDUCT MAINTENANCE TRAINING FOR GALLUP POLICE DEPARTMENTS K9 UNIT – AUGUST 2015
Tactical K9 conducted another assigned K9 training workshop for this fine unit. Our contract for maintenance training is very unique – we do not visit once a month for one day of training. We have found this does not work – a unit needs more time to identify and problem solve their unique issues. This cannot be done in one day. Our 5 day workshops do the trick. In fact each team assists in identifying issues as well as problem solving with their own team becoming much more self sufficient.
