Record Analysis Police administrators, prosecutors, the defense, and courts all benefit from an independent review of a team's records. After K9 Consultants has analyized the records a written report of potential problems and suggested training to correct them will be provided. (More) Record Analysis Training Training in behavior modification and functional analysis explains how to identify trends that effect a team's performance, and design training, and testing to correct problems. This training is helpful to anyone who has the need to review detector dog records. (More) Team Evaluations Firsthand onsite evaluations provide an in-depth testing of the team's performance under field conditions. This testing can help support your training program. K9 Selection Selection of the right dog is critical to success. Training placed on a dog that does not posses the correct character for the task will fail very quickly in field conditions. If you are selecting a trained dog not all trainers are the same in knowledge and customer service. This service will allow you to put all trainers on an even playing field increasing your chances for success. (This is not uncommon when training and testing are done incorrectly)   Snohomish County Sheriff's Office's learned a very valuable lesson as well as the Tacoma Police independent consultation may have prevented this incident. Handler Selection Those that make the most arrests do not always make the best handlers. There are many unlearned traits that make a person a successful dog handler. K9 Consultants can help increase your successful selection. Case Preparation When you get to court there should be no surprises. This service prepares you for court appearance. It will help attorneys involved in the case determine if an expert is needed to testify, and how best to present the case. Court Testimony In cases were an expert is needed, K9 Consultants can provide that service. All court testimony is based on the facts provided; not the side that retained the service.
