This 3-day workshop focuses on building critical skills and addressing real-life deployment challenges. Participants will learn to identify common deployment failures, strengthen their K9's foundation, and adapt to high-stress scenarios to ensure success in the field.This course is limited to 12 available spots!
The goal of Spike’s School is to educate and improve communication between the handler and their K9 through top-notch training from exceptional and recognized trainers across the country. Quality training results in increased effectiveness in the workplace and safer handling, protecting everyone involved. Thanks to our generous donors, we are able to sponsor approved applicants to help relieve the burden of training costs.
We will be teaming up with instructor Paul Ludwig to provide the best education possible. Paul brings a fresh, “Drop the Ego” approach to training, emphasizing exposure, behavior shaping, and critical thinking under chaos. His methods aim to create a 3-second advantage for the handler—a potentially life-saving edge in the field.
Paul’s innovative training techniques and attention to detail will elevate your skills and help you maximize your K9's potential. Join us for this intensive course to improve your team’s safety and effectiveness.
