The Canine Unit trains together as a unit approximately 2-4 times a month. Each handler is responsible for training their own dog. Canine Unit training is usually held at various locations around the area. The choice is left up to the individual handlers. It can take anywhere from 6 to 18 months to train a dog to our level 1 qualification.
Some courses require a nominal fee to cover materials.
Other training is available depending on the interests of the member. After the second session a prospective member must submit an application and dues for team membership. The application is reviewed by team officers and then voted on by the team membership at the next meeting. The canine unit does not require nor use one set of training rules or methods.
