Make sure your dog is safe to walk in hot temperatures! ☀️

"If the temperature is 85 degrees or over without the chance for the pavement to cool down, the ground may be too hot for safely walking a dog,” says Dr. Jerry Klein, DVM, Chief Veterinary Officer for the AKC.

Dog shoes offer amazing protection against hot surfaces and there are plenty of canine products to keep the paw pads moisturized to prevent burns! 🐾

Did you know?🐾

The earliest K-9 training facility started in Ghent, Belgium, in 1899, where they became known as the leader in canine training by utilizing wolfhounds and Belgian sheepdogs!

Their success spread worldwide and in 1907, New York Police Commissioner, Brigadier General Theodore A. Bringham, sent an inspector to study Belgium's training program. The inspector soon returned with five Belgian sheepdogs, gifted from the Ghent training facility, for what would then become the first canine training program implemented in the Unites States!

👅

Did you know?🐾

Dogs have around 1,700 taste buds (which is about 1/6th of what humans have), so they rely more on their sense of smell rather than taste when deciding what to lick or eat!

"The relationship between a military working dog and a military dog handler is about as close as a man and a dog can become. You see this loyalty, the devotion, unlike any other..."
-Robert Crais

Who would you trust more to drive the bearcat? K9 Mako or Sgt. Jackson?

Remember that your freedom was paid for by those who served in the military and some of those paid the ultimate price with their life.

Good morning.

Who are you remembering today?

04/05/2024

It is with great sadness that we must say goodbye to a good friend and great K-9 instructor, Brad Smith. Brad was a great police officer, K-9 instructor and K-9 author. We appreciate all the times he taught at our conferences. He will be missed and remembered by all who met him. His legacy will live on in his K-9 books, articles and K-9 courses. Rest in peace Brad... your family and friends will take it from here.
