WHO IT IS FOR
The right starting point.
Agencies and units seeking a structured review of specific training concerns in their own dogs.
Development objective
Receive an evidence-informed assessment and a practical follow-up plan, with limitations and unresolved issues clearly recorded.
These are intended learning outcomes, subject to demonstrated performance. Attendance alone does not establish competence or operational readiness.
WHAT YOU LEAVE WITH
More than “good job.”
- Per-dog baseline record
- Before-and-after review under documented conditions
- Written handler development plan
- Follow-up priorities and unresolved questions
Anyone can call a safety stop at any time. No target, result or instructor expectation overrides participant or K9 welfare.
CURRICULUM / LEARNING + EVIDENCE
Every module has a purpose.
Open a module to see its learning focus and how the work is reviewed. Practical methods belong in supervised instruction, not a self-taught online drill.
06.1Baseline
Establish the specific concern and its context.
Initial observation and available measurements.
06.2Assessment
Identify patterns and plausible contributing factors.
Team review with uncertainty documented.
06.3Supervised Development
Apply the agreed training plan within safety limits.
Session observations and reviewed records.
06.4Re-measure
Compare like-for-like work where practical.
Conditions, equipment and limitations retained.
06.5Handler Plan
Give the unit clear next steps and review priorities.
Written plan; no promised outcome.
ASSESSMENT WITH AN EXPLANATION
Know what is being assessed.
This service uses role-appropriate records and feedback, not the core-class examination by default.
Unit service · not a core credential
Proposed internal K1K9 recognition only. No government certification, external accreditation or guaranteed employment is implied.
Read the full measurement standard ↗Your work, made reviewable.
No fabricated scores, pressure readings or pass results.
Your voice in the review
The proposed student process includes access to the assessment criteria, an explanation of feedback, the opportunity to identify recording errors and a clear next-step plan. Formal reassessment and appeal procedures must be finalized before enrollment.
Sensor readings, video observations and reviewer scores are different types of evidence. Missing measurements stay marked as missing. No single score proves real-world readiness.
PREPARE BEFORE YOU ARRIVE
Entry & requirements.
- Initial consultation defining the unit’s concerns and objectives
- Suitable dogs, handlers and approved facilities
- Agreement on scope, safeguarding, records and confidentiality
