Handler Training Program Audit

Join one of our handler candidate cohorts for up to two weeks to experience our Handler Training Program.

With the primary purpose of partnering SDF handler candidates with trained canine candidates, SDF has opened the Handler Training Program audit spots for working dog handlers wanting to learn about our training philosophy, marker and reward systems, and experience our program. This course audit opportunity allows either a working audit experience, working with canine candidates in our program, or an observational audit experience, absorbing knowledge without handling a canine.

REQUIREMENTS/IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• All participants must be currently active working dog handlers.
• Working audit spots are for participants working with SDF’s canine candidates, NOT a participant’s canine.
• Observational audit spots are for participants NOT handling a canine during the course.
• Space is limited and participation will be approved in the order each reservation is received at the link below.
