Day 4 of the K9 seminar was a huge success. After three outstanding days of training and certification handlers got to put their dogs through an exciting and fun series of competitions to see who is the best of the best! Pictured here is just a taste of the patrol competition. While moving through a dark building filled with smoke, obstacles, flashing lights, loud sounds, and other distractions that any team on duty could face any day of the week in a real life situation, handlers had to transition seamlessly between locating suspects and locating narcotics. This was an outstanding exercise that all thoroughly enjoyed.

Police canines are awesome! They have the ability to break down and eliminate odors which allows them to be trained to indicate on specific odors such as narcotics. The great thing is they don’t see this as work what they know is when they successfully indicate an odor for which they have been trained a ball magically appears and they get to play! Many different dogs are featured here indicating the presence of an odor at this printer that in fact contained marijuana. One picture shows that moment that dogs dream about when the ball magically appears falling from the sky!
