This course presents explosive detection K-9 teams with scenarios involving quantities of explosive materials that are realistic and often used in real-world threats but are rarely trained upon. Unusual K-9 behavior involving mass quantities of explosive material is often misunderstood and/or misinterpreted by the handler, due to unfamiliarity. Students will imprint their dog on various types and quantities of explosive material in a calm and controlled environment prior to participating in authentic scenario based practical exercises. Our highly experienced staff of cadre will introduce teams to amounts of explosives that increase in quantities throughout the course and range from tens to hundreds of pounds.
