Worked with some really great K9 Teams and future instructors today that were all about preparing for, "Now what?!" As well as learning how to prepare their brothers and sisters for the day we hope never comes. Big thank you to F1RST and Safety Town for allowing us to have a great day of scenarios.

Tampa PD K9 Paz knows his HIT command that's for sure. No matter what picture I showed him, he's staying engaged. For me, muzzle is essential for operational readiness. From obedience and working around a team training to realistic, non-equipment, decoy pictures, if you're not training muzzle, you should be.

Small glimpse of Day 6 at our K9 Instructor Course. We covered basic bite work and certification benchmarks, but presenting realistic pictures for operational success is always the goal!

Gunfire acclimation and Team Integration today in our K9 Instructor School! Whether you're a SWAT dog K9 team or Patrol K9, having the ability to work with and around backup team members is an integral skill. And gunfire neutrality goes without saying for that time we HOPE never comes but must be READY for. Huge shout out to our hosts, the Pasco County Sheriff's Office and F1RST, who literally wrote the book on a lot of this stuff. Being able to work in conjunction with subject master experts is just as import as being a knowledgeable trainer, in delivering top notch K9 instruction.
