Spike’s School aims to educate and improve handlers and their K9 communication through top-notch training from exceptional and recognized trainers nationwide. Quality training results in increased effectiveness in the workplace and safer handling, protecting everyone involved. Thanks to our generous donors, we can sponsor approved applicants to help relieve the burden of training costs.We will partner with Phillipi "Mountain" Sanz and Matt Williams to offer a K9 Tracking School. Handlers attending this course will learn the foundational skills to effectively track suspects and missing persons in all terrains and environments. Students attending this course will be prepared with the knowledge and training to read their dog's body language and continue building a more confident K9 to track humans.
