Description:
This course is designed to improve the overall effectiveness and efficiency
of the explosives detection canine team.
During
the first week the AU CDTC staff will assess
your training proficiency level and provide you a road map to strengthen
your performance as an explosives detection canine team. We will
identify training deficiencies, provide recommended corrective actions
and provide proficiency training that will increase your overall success
as a team. If you are having a canine detection problem, we will
establish objectives to assist you in correcting this deficiency.
If you are already a good team, we will work with you to strengthen your
capability.
During
the second week, our focus will shift to operations.
You will be involved in scenario driven exercises designed to make you
a stronger and smarter explosives detection canine handler. You will
gain experience with various search patterns, booby-traps, large-quantity
explosives and handling bomb threats. We will also provide you an
opportunity to expose your canine partner to a new explosive odor, given
we have an explosive odor that your canine has never learned. Additionally,
we will provide instruction to strengthen your overall knowledge of canine
detection and optimizing canine performance.
Class
Size: Will be kept low to ensure a good
instructor to student ratio and enhance the learning environment.
A small portion of the class may attend without dogs for observational
purposes. However, a majority of the attendees will attend with their
canine partner.
Schedule:Classes
will be scheduled to meet training objectives and are subject to change.
Please check back frequently as we are constantly working to provide the

the training. If you are attending training on a daily basis for
a specific class, identify this to us so we can notify you should something
change on that day.
