The dog. The handler.
One prepared team.

Level 1 · Civilian PSS-K9™ Series

Civilian PSS-K9™ Series covers the differences between sport, protection and PSS-K9™ preparation, bite purpose, threat identification, commands, deployment, engagement, recall, recovery, casualty care and legal responsibilities.

Level 2 · Kinetic Engagement

Supervised development of team communication, control, judgment and recovery under pressure. Preparation includes K9 and handler welfare, incident recognition and emergency-readiness planning.

Level 3 · The Armed Handler & PSS-K9™

A safety-focused pathway for handlers who carry lawfully. The emphasis is responsible decision-making, K9 control and clearly defined professional instruction.

Entry: Every dog and handler is assessed. Level 3 requires Level 2 completion and current qualified firearms training. Level 2 prerequisites and individual suitability are confirmed during assessment.

Civilian education does not provide access to restricted agency syllabuses. Training must remain within the participant’s jurisdictional law.

Low-Light Domestic Safety

Supervised education around household planning, K9 control, visibility and emergency communication.

Mobile Threat & Dog-Targeting Awareness

Recognizing unsafe situations while walking, traveling or working with a K9. Priorities include prevention, creating distance and obtaining appropriate assistance.

Personal & Family Safety Awareness

Prevention-focused discussion of vehicle, travel and family-security concerns, with clearly defined boundaries for responsible K9 ownership.

K9 & Handler Emergency Readiness

Prepare emergency contacts, veterinary records and contingency plans if a dog or handler becomes injured or unable to continue.

Entry: Assessment and prerequisites depend on the selected subject. The proposed 3–5-day school format is subject to confirmation for each offering.

A defined role before a K9 is introduced.

Review team responsibilities, handler suitability, public interaction, communication and how a K9 program fits within the organization’s existing safety plan.

Scope is developed around the organization rather than offered as a universal solution. A K9 does not replace emergency services, qualified security personnel or an established emergency plan.

Entry: Organizational requirements and the proposed dog-and-handler team are reviewed first. Legal, insurance and site-policy questions require the organization’s qualified advisers.

One ecosystem. No duplicate course catalog.

KESP™ professional sparring-partner development and KAIR™ measurement remain in SCAD™. KINETIC™ connects that foundation with supervised team application.

Explore KESP™ Levels 1, 2 and 3 with your eligible PSS-K9™. Enrollment and full class descriptions open November 15, 2026, for the 2027 training year. Individual class dates, prerequisites and availability are confirmed with the offering.

Entry: Professional experience, suitability and level-specific requirements are reviewed before acceptance.

Start with the K9 in front of you.

Referral-based review for K9s previously trained in sport or protection programs, considered alongside the handler’s experience and the team’s security requirements.

Assessment determines whether a suitable development pathway exists. Prior training does not establish suitability, and acceptance or a particular outcome is not guaranteed.

Entry: Referral, training history and a review of the dog, handler and intended role. This service remains within K1K9-CONCIERGE™.

A proposed separate pathway for qualified agencies evaluating KEPS™. Availability depends on product readiness and completion of applicable electrical, veterinary-welfare and use-of-force review. It is not represented as open for enrollment.

Entry: Verified law-enforcement or military credentials, agency eligibility and program-specific screening. Restricted content is not unlocked by opening this box.
