THE OPPORTUNITY TO TRAIN IN A VARIED AND REALISTIC TRAINING ENVIRONMENT BETTER PREPARES K9 TEAMS FOR REAL WORLD DEPLOYMENTS. OUR FACILITY IS EQUIPPED AND ORGANIZED FOR POLICE K9 TRAINING. THERE ARE NUMEROUS TRAINING AREAS WITHIN THE BUILDING DEDICATED TO SPECIFIC TRAINING. SCENT IMPRINTING IS CONDUCTED ON OUR LARGE SCENT WALLS, PORTABLE SCENT TRAINING DEVICES, AND A DIVERSITY OF ROOM, FURNITURE, VEHICLES, AND EQUIPMENT GIVE THE DETECTION K9 TEAM EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO TRAIN IN REALISTIC SETTINGS. MANY PATROL K9 TEAM EXERCISES CAN BE TRAINED WITHIN THE BUILDING REGARDLESS OF THE WEATHER. AN INDOOR AGILITY COURSE, MULTIPLE STAIRS, A 10,000 SQ. FT. SLICK FLOOR AREA, TOTAL DARKNESS AREAS, ETC.
