PUPPY SELECTION
Choosing the right puppy is the first and most important step in developing a successful working K9. Our Puppy Selection Program is designed to help you find the ideal candidate for future trailing, detection, and scent-based work by focusing on temperament, drive, and trainability from the very start.
​
Our experienced team conducts thorough evaluations using a puppy testing checklist to assess each prospect’s motivation, confidence, environmental stability, and natural scenting ability. Through careful observation and structured testing, we identify puppies with the strongest potential to excel in professional tracking and detection disciplines.
​
Whether you’re seeking a K9 for law enforcement, search and rescue, or sport applications, our selection process ensures you begin with a well-matched partner—setting the foundation for long-term success, reliability, and teamwork.
DAY TRAINS
Our Day Train Program provides focused, hands-on training sessions where your K9 works directly with our experienced trainers throughout the day. Each session emphasizes progressive tracking drills and realistic search scenarios designed to strengthen accuracy, confidence, and reliability in varied environments.
​
Handlers play an active role in the process—participating in at least one track per session and encouraged to join more for optimal team development. This involvement fosters stronger communication, trust, and understanding between handler and dog, ensuring consistency both during training and in real-world applications.
​
Perfect for teams seeking structured progress without the need for overnight stays, the Day Train Program bridges professional instruction with ongoing handler engagement to build a dependable, high-performing tracking partnership.
