SUMMARY:K9 Field Training and Integrated Operations | South Africa
DESCRIPTION:Instructors: Wesley Visscher\, Mario Haspels\, and Mike Veale\n\nJoin expert K9 trainers and anti-poaching rangers for this intensive course\, designed for handlers\, trainers\, and rangers working with active K9 units. Participants will engage in real-world scenarios\, enhancing operational effectiveness in anti-poaching\, counter-trafficking\, and wildlife protection roles. Like all GCF programs\, this course provides exposure to diverse habitats and local tourist experiences within GCF’s conservation zones. \n\n\nWhat to Expect from GCF Training Courses\n\n\n\n\nOur programs prioritize education and skill-building in wildlife conservation. While not as physically demanding as the 5-week Bootcamp\, they still require a solid commitment to outdoor work\, including hiking\, navigating diverse terrains\, and enduring the elements. Applicants should come prepared for adventure and hands-on learning\, as well as a willingness to get involved in impactful conservation efforts.
