K9 Search: Putting it All Together in the Crime Scene Environment
Date TBD
Park City, Utah
This course will be instructed by Sonja Nordstrom and other instructors to be determined. The student to instructor ratio will be low to allow for a great deal of individual attention in all phases of instruction. The course will take the student through all phases of responding to a criminal search scene request with their dog. Through a combination of classroom and field work, students will learn how to work simulated crime scenes which mimic actual K9 search assignments in a variety of challenging environments and scenarios. All levels of teams are welcome.
