Our every other month training continued this week for the Richmond K9 Unit. It would not be a training day if we did not get interrupted at least once to respond to a K9 call for service (and we did). This training module hit all basic requirements and foundation work – we also focused this week on some opposition work in muzzle. These canines are pretty hard in muzzle – so be careful – make sure the canine is hard and tough in the muzzle. Purpose is simple – put opposition and pressure as well as obstacles in front of the canine to work through. Great week of training.

TK9 CONDUCTS E-COLLAR WORKSHOP HOSTED BY THE HARRIS COUNTY K9 UNIT – OCTOBER 3RD THRU OCTOBER 7TH, 2021

Harris County Texas K9 Unit – with the assistance of Sergeant Chris Moore – the units Chief Trainer made this workshop possible.

This almost eliminated down time for the K9 teams. Needless to say we had all the teams hopping. Surrounding agencies also attended – thanks much to Chris Moore.

TK9 CONDUCTS MAINTENANCE TRAINING FOR THE RICHMOND POLICE DEPARTMENTS K9 UNIT – OCTOBER 17TH THRU OCTOBER 19TH, 2021

TK9 conducted maintenance training with Richmond K9 – as always we started off reviewing K9 apprehensions of the preceding month. Afterwards we covered all foundation work – we also focused some of the training on high finds. This basic training is often overlooked and frankly much needed. This video shows some of the maintenance work required. This is finished product. The canine works the scent cone and eventually frustrates into a bark alert at source. Its important that the canine self discovers durirng this process – no “good boys” or “what cha got”. These are common mistakes that lead to false alerts and not pinpointing scent source. We sometimes pay with a prey reward but it is important to final the scenario with canine looking up at “civil” decoy – no equipment. Another great workshop.

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.  Depending on once a month training simply does not work and surely does not advance a unit.  We usually conduct (4) to (5)  five day workshops throughout the year.
