LEG TARGETING FOR PATROL DOGS
This 8 hour course (2hrs classroom/ 6hrs hands on) offers the most realistic canine, suspect find and engagement training offered anywhere. This course will not be the typical bite suit/ hidden sleeve class that most dogs are conditioned to succeed at. History has shown that many dogs fail to engage a real suspect that does not duplicate what the dog typically sees in training. This course is guaranteed to give you and your K9 partner more confidence. By expertly utilizing the Arminleggan training systems we will create realistic training illusions to provide dog and handler with pictures the team may see during real deployments. This class is as close as any K9 team can get to what typically happens on the street.
REQUIRED EQUIPMENT:
-All duty equipment needed to deploy safely with K9
