We have been gone this week busting our butts and proving our training pays off once again!
This is our second conference with ASCTI and we hit hard with many certifications. Last year it was just Recon and I.
This year it was Recon, Kesta, Avi and myself!! Call me crazy but we did it.
Right before the conference I finished Kesta in Explosive detection and received my certification for buildings. From first day of the conference Recon, Avi and I got checked off on our certifications every single day. Last day of the conference Kesta and I blew the doors off and got certification for car searches for Explosives.
Nine Realms Canine Training and I had a bet on who could certify an explosive dog first between two dogs that are full sisters from the same litter. I won the bet but to be fair Kesta and I had more time together to build a foundation on her detection before Nine Realms even started with the sister. Sister did put up a strong battle for us too!!!
To Finish a hard week of sweat and hard work comes the northern lights. The strongest they have been for like 20 years or more! So amazing!!!!!
ASCTI conferences are so much hard work but also so much enjoyment!!! I love meeting other members and working along side them and seeing new or different things. Hearing difficult stories but also the mind blowing stories and even the hilarious ones.
Thank you to all the ASCTI members that help me and my dogs grow and congratulations to all the new members on the certifications this last week!! Huge shout to Karin with Nine Realms for all the guidance and the friendly competition.
