๐ Training Spotlight ๐
This week, our teams focused on practicing entering and exiting through sliding doorsโa skill theyโll encounter often in real-world deployments.
By exposing both handlers and canines to these everyday scenarios during training, we set them up for success. Our goal is to ensure every team feels confident, prepared, and ready to handle any situation with poise and professionalism.
Thank you to our hardworking teams for their dedication to excellence! ๐พ๐

A few weeks ago, our Crisis Canines of the Midlands teams hit the aisles of Loweโs for a valuable day of in-public training and real-world scenarios. From navigating through crowds to practicing response in a busy environment, both our handlers and canine partners rose to the challenge!
These training experiences are crucial to our mission of preparing teams to assist communities and first responders in times of crisis. Thank you to Loweโs for welcoming us, and thank you to our amazing teams for their hard work and dedication!
