Common Scents – “On Target Method” of K9 Detection

WHEN: July 7-8-9

TIME: 10-17 (lunch will be provided)

WHERE: Hosted by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department K9 Unit,
3345 W Vermont St, Indianapolis, IN  46222

INSTRUCTOR: Randy Hare / Alpha K9 – randyhare.com or alphak9.com   

COST:
 $50.00  (working spot) ** REGISTRATION LIMITED TO 35 ATTENDEES

We at CIK9 are excited to announce our 2nd training event of 2021, Jul 8, 9, 10, co-hosted by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department K9 Unit and instructed by Randy Hare, Alpha K9 founder and international dog trainer. 

Common Scents – “On Target Method” is an orientation and introduction (or refresher to those that have attended in past) to Randy’s On Target detection training system. This course is designed to give the attendee an excellent insight into this training method. This course will review the techniques of Randy’s “On Target Method” and learn how it differs from the traditional methods of detection training. 

Techniques learned will show how the K9s learn for themselves, that their eyes and ears mean nothing when it comes to earning the reward object. Training this way eliminates 95% of the cues that may cause false indications.

ANNOUNCEMENT: The Board of Directors for the Central Indiana K9 Association has decided to cancel both K9 Veterans’ Day events for this weekend on March 13 & 14. We want to ensure the safety of all our supporters and the general public during these uncertain times with COVID-19. We want to support the stance by our public officials and encourage the public to stay home and take steps to ensure the safety of your family members and those who may be at risk with no family close by.

For those who purchased tickets to attend our breakfast fundraiser, we will be in contact regarding a reimbursement. Please note that the silent auction will still take place until 8:30 am Friday, March 13th, so please continue to follow that on our Facebook page.
