Proud moment! 🐾 One of our AK9I graduates is out in Los Angeles this weekend working detection at Comic-Con with our friends at Merrills Detector Dog Services (Merrill's Detector Dog Services). From training on our campus to keeping crowds safe at one of the biggest fan events around, this is exactly what we train for. Thank you, Merrill's, for the partnership and for giving our grads the chance to show what they can do!

MEDICAL MONDAY!!

As always... for any medical emergency situations please consult a qualified care provider as soon as possible!

Bloat... what is it? How do you recognize it? This is probably one of the scariest "non traumatic" (ie. gunshot, stabbing, vehicle accident, dog fight, etc.) medical situations that can happen to your four legged partner! Large breeds like GSD, Mals, and labs are particularly susceptible to it! The graphic below has some great info related to bloat.

The most important takeaway is this: IF YOU SUSPECT YOUR K-9 PARTNER HAS BLOAT GET THEM TO EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE AS FAST AS POSSIBLE! There is no quick fix for this and time is not on your side if your dog has it!
