Training Site Program

As handlers, we constantly strive to improve our K9 partner’s training experiences by implementing different scenarios and venues. Experience has shown that our partners become wise and learn to “pattern train” if we use the same venues.

In order to achieve productive training we are constantly looking for new venues. Commercial and residential structures are ideal for scenario training. Typically vacant properties as well as properties that are under construction are used.

Unfortunately these properties are often subject to vandalism and theft. Our experience has been that with the current price of scrap medals such as aluminum and copper, more damage is caused by the theft then the gain the criminals achieve by stealing the items.

The benefit of having multiple K9 teams training at random hours and days is a definite deterrent.

We seek every venue imaginable. Businesses, Home Owners associations, neighborhood watch groups, etc… If you are interested in participating in the program just fill out the online form on the right or email contact@updk9.org.
