LARGE EXPLOSIVE HIDE & HME IMPRINTING COMBO FOR K9

One (1) Day Course (Gettysburg) | $150.00/Person

This course presents explosive detection K-9 teams with scenarios involving quantities of explosives that are realistic and often used in real-world threats but are rarely trained upon. Unusual K-9 behavior involving mass quantities of explosive material is often misunderstood and/or misinterpreted by the handler, due to unfamiliarity. Students will imprint their dog on various types and quantities of explosive materials. Materials will increase in quantity throughout the course and range from 5 to 100 pounds.

Students will be safely exposed to live improvised explosive formulations, including TATP, Urea Nitrate, and several AN and chlorate based mixtures. Students will witness first-hand, the sensitivity and destructive power of improvised explosives, how to safely operate while mixtures are present, and methods of desensitization. Teams will have the opportunity to imprint their dogs on all materials created.
