Step into the operational side of conservation K9 work. The Wildlife Conservation K9 Field Training & Integrated Operations Course places participants alongside experienced K9 trainers, handlers, conservation professionals, and active working dogs to explore how K9 teams are integrated into wildlife protection operations.
The K9 Tracking & Conservation Scent Detection Course is an intensive professional development program focused on developing K9s, handlers, and trainers for conservation and other professional working-dog applications. Taught in partnership with Scent Imprint for Conservation Dogs, the course brings together instructors Wesley Visscher and Mike Veale and highly trained working K9s representing multiple breeds and working styles. Participants will learn how to develop, work, refine, and troubleshoot scent-detection behaviors with applications including endangered species conservation, wildlife monitoring, research, and counter-wildlife trafficking.
