🚨 Training Session #1 in the books for K9 Maverick of Knight Sky Protection! 👮🏻‍♂️ 🐾

Today marks the beginning of his fi****ms detection journey using K-9 BSD boxes — a foundational tool that will help this ball motivated K9 learn that odor equals reward.
🔍 🎯 📦 💥 ➰🎾

The goal will eventually be for him to confidently hold a focused sit with his nose at source, as a clear and controlled final indication to alert his handler of the presence of a firearm; that he has located while conducting security sweeps wherever they are deployed. 👊 🔥
