Advanced Detection Development Course
Highland K9 is excited to announce the inception of our new Advanced K9 Course Portfolio. Leading the pack for our initial advanced course launch will be Advanced Detection Development. Our profession is inundated with options when it comes to handler and trainer’s courses, but a major gap between the two must be addressed and Highland K9 is proud to be meeting that demand.
Throughout our 13 years running Police/Military K9 training we have realized an all too common theme runs rampant throughout our industry. That theme is the lack of K9 teams growing over the years following graduation of a basic handler course. In some more extreme cases we see a dramatic regression due to moderately knowledgeable/under-supported handlers, moving into supervisory roles and finding it difficult to effectively mentor the newer generations. This cycle of stagnation and regression must come to an end and we aim to assist in accomplishing just that, through each of our advanced and progressive courses.
ONLINE TRAINING AT YOUR PACE
Our online portion covers Canine Detection classroom lectures provided by Jason Purgason. These lectures are comprehensive and cover both basic and advanced detection techniques using operant conditioning as well as how to maximize training opportunities and avoid common pitfalls in your operational environment.
ONLINE COURSE ONLY $39.99 For a limited time
4-DAYS OF HANDS-ON TRAINING
With the online portion covering the needed academic aspects of the course completed prior to arrival, it allows us to concentrate on hands-on development with each team. Each team will be immersed in scenario-based, real world problems of increasing difficulty to both challenge and increase each teams capabilities.
COMPLETE COURSE ONLY $289
What K9 handlers are saying...
Handlers who choose to attend will participate in a two-phased learning process at phenomenal pricing for the enormity of the content the course contains. The first-phase will encompass online training from your home location. This serves to address a multitude of obstacles toward dramatic and positive-growth in the realm of detection. Additionally, the online portion assists in maximizing the hands-on portions when teams arrive on-site here at Highland Canine Training, LLC.

To lose a team for weeks on end to attend a trainer’s course is not always fiscally possible nor feasible due to manpower and other requirements. It is for this reason that we chose to develop a host of courses geared to improving a team’s value to a department, all while minimizing cost and time away. Each graduate of this Advanced Detection Development Course will return home with information regarding the remainder of the advanced courses in our portfolio. The intent is to offer teams a menu of courses to choose from, so they might continue to sky-rocket proficiency to higher levels with a low-budget and minimal time available. Attendance to one of our advanced courses also affords the organization attractive discounts to K9 evaluations or seminars at your home-base. Jason Purgason our President, has happily and passionately transformed many K9-Units in their own backyard and is always looking for an opportunity to do just that for those in-need. Whether you’re feeling stagnant, unsupported or simply confused as to what the next step toward growth might be, Highland Canine Training, LLC is here to support you.
