Designed with the experienced Police
Canine Handler in
mind...
The Police K9 Handler Trainer course is geared for
today's law enforcement. Many Police Departments today
experience the desire to train their own police dogs and
have a trainer on staff to oversee K9 and handler teams.
Some Police Departments have a need to establish regional
training facilities to create budget savings and a unified
regional application/utilization of police canines.
This course is ideal for all departments working to
establish a new K9 Unit or seeking to optimize their
existing K9 Unit.
At Worldwide Canine you will learn to select and train
police dogs and police dog handlers and you will gain the
skills and knowledge to run your department's K9 Unit.
