Decoys are an essential tool in K9 training. This 3-day workshop will focus on the theoretical knowledge and physical training necessary to be an effective and safe decoy for working K9s. Instead of just being a "person in the bite suit", you will walk away from this course being a valuable asset to your K9 unit.This course is limited to 15 available spots!
The goal of our Spike’s School is to educate and improve communication between the handler and their K9 through top-notch training from exceptional and recognized trainers across the country. Quality training results in increased effectiveness in the workplace and safer handling, protecting everyone involved. Thanks to our generous donors, we are able to sponsor approved applicants to help relieve the burden of training costs.
We will be teaming up with Adam Franklin & Crystal Clear K9, to provide the best education possible. They provide innovative and customizable training to fit the needs of students attending. Their attention to detail and knowledge will take your decoy skills to the next level.
