We have a proven track record of pairing the right dog with the right handler to produce an efficient and effective police K9 team.

Police Patrol Dog Training
Solid obedience and control is paramount when working with the police K9 to increase effectiveness and reduce liability for the K9 team and agency. Therefore, all of our police patrol dogs are trained in on-leash and off-leash obedience for complete control. Patrol dogs are trained to sit, down, stay, come, heel and to respond to hand signals given by the handler at a distance. This control allows for ease of use when deploying the police patrol dog in field operations and demanding tactical field environments.
Optionally, our police patrol dogs can also be trained in tactical obedience for added control in the field. Our tactical obedience training allows police patrol dog handlers the utmost control when conducting building searches, room clearing, arrest encounters and dealing with hostile individuals.
Fully Trained Police Patrol Dogs
It is critical the police patrol dog be well prepared for the physical and mental challenges that it will face on the street. In order to successfully accomplish this, all of our police patrol dogs are trained in practical agility. Because of this training you can expect consistent and confident performance from your police patrol dog in training and in the field. All of our police patrol dogs are trained based on your department’s needs and specifications.
Police patrol dogs can also be trained to meet the certification standards of the United States Police Canine Association, North American Police Work Dog Association, National Police Canine Association, or any other organization that your department chooses to use.
Police Patrol Dog Apprehension Training
All of our police patrol dogs are fully trained in criminal apprehension and handler protection. Our dogs are not sport dogs that are solely focused on equipment and routines, they are man oriented, not equipment oriented and are prepared to readily apprehend criminal suspects when required.
Our police patrol dogs are conditioned to deal with passive bites, handler attacks and are trained to target a number of areas on the suspect to ensure that they are able to make an apprehension even when a suspect is concealed. Our patrol dogs are exposed and neutral to gunfire from both the suspect as well as the handler and arrest team.
Police patrol dogs are also trained to be proficient in conducting tactical building searches, area and wooded searches, evidence/article recovery as well as scent discrimination and variable surface trailing. We utilize and promote scenario based Police K9 training for all dog teams to ensure that they are prepared to tackle the extreme challenges that are faced by today’s law enforcement and military dog teams.
Police Patrol Dog Detection Training
Police patrol dogs can also be cross-trained in either narcotics detection or explosives detection and are considered dual purpose police dogs. Dual purpose dogs are trained to perform the same activities as a police patrol dog with the added detection capabilities of the drug or bomb dogs that we train and sell.
Dual purpose police patrol dogs are trained to the same high standards as our single purpose explosives and narcotics detection dogs. Dual purpose drug detection dogs can be trained with a passive or aggressive alert, depending on the needs of the department. Our dual purpose explosives detection dogs are trained with only a passive indication. Our detection dogs are trained in and prepared for a variety of environments including warehouses, residences, schools, etc. They are proficient in searching all types of vehicles, including passenger cars, commercial vehicles, buses, etc.
