Handler candidates are interviewed prior to acceptance and can be
dismissed by the Instructor if motivation is not satisfactory. The
municipality can provide their own dog with the stipulation the dog
passes our selection criteria.
The Polic Patrol Dog Program includes selection of a suitable candiate
canine. Currently, a few selected males available from litter Nelly vom
Grafental June 4, 2005. Obedience on and off leash, tracking/trailing, scouting

Germany, or other European country, Len can acomplish this.) The import fee
is not included in the price of the program.

from a contracting munipipality. There is a bi-monthly in-service training
maintenance program free for the first six months. There is a re-certification
process at the end of the first year that is included in the price of the program.
