Buying a Police K9 can be very challenging!

The most important thing is that the Police Department ends up with a K9 that promises to serve for a long time and that he was selected and trained to function effectively in the field.
Too often we see Police K9s that would not find target odors without the help of the handler. In fact after a while, the handler finds it for the dog! Dogs are very careful observers. They pick up on the slightest change of behavior (voice / body) of the handler and get the information that indication behavior now would probably be rewarded. With a Police K9 that is supposed to find narcotics, it wouldn't be devastating to "miss" a find......- but with an explosive detector????

Here at All Police K9 we train real behaviors for detection K9s. We don't play with odors that are combined with toys. That is a "gimmick". We could argue that it has been working for years! Has it really?
I remember 25 years ago when I was out there with my dog following the philosophy of "playing with the odor" having a toy crazy dog. Way too often I was uncertain whether there was something or not!? Because I was way too involved in a search as a help for my dog. Thus the dog was trying to start some indication and I reacted, leading him, and yes = false alert, nothing there!

The same misery we often see in Patrol work training or/ and selection. Dogs not carefully selected and matched with handlers personality and capabilities often fail to either be aggressive when needed- or fail to be controllable.

All Police K9 teaches and trains handlers to be a trainer and not just a handler. Our K9 teams have highest probability to function in all aspects. Training an animal is psychology. Any creature on earth is following the laws of psychology of learning. All police K9 follows these laws to the fullest extend.
Dogs learn people , places, time of the day!
Are you wondering why some dogs just don't function on the street, but do so well in training at the tow yard? - or by the search boxes? -or at the training academy?
