Live Coaching in SLO! Saturday Morning

Mar 25, 2023 8:00 AM

Please join us for a Live Coaching 1 day seminar with all 4 Elements - Interior, Exterior, Containers, and Vehicles elements at San Luis Obispo High School! Several trials are held at schools and this is a great opportunity to train in a trial like setting! Live Coaching means you decide how you want to run the searches to meet your current training needs. You can run searches with known amount and/or location of hides. Maybe you want to focus leash handling or reading your dog. You can even run the searches "blind" with the life line option where we only intervene if needed. Do you have more than one dog in detection sports with different areas needing work? Bring them both! You can run a different dog for each element but you only get one shot to search in each element. **All levels are welcome however dogs must be trained for the odors of Anise, Birch, and Clove** Your lead instructor, Pete Stevens, is the President and Lead Trainer at The Scentsable K9. Pete retired from the Chula Vista Police Department after 24.5 years. During his career, Pete worked 4 Police Service Dogs- 3 single purpose (1 patrol and 2 narcotics) and 1 dual purpose (patrol/narcotics). Pete was assigned to patrol, Gang Suppression, Narcotics Enforcement Team, and was as a Task Force Officer assigned to Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). Pete is a Field Training Officer, Firearms Instructor, Use of Force Instructor and has an Advanced Certificate from the California Peace Officer Standards and Training (CA POST). Pete is a CA POST K9 team evaluator for patrol and narcotics. He is a Certifying Official for the California Narcotic Canine Association (CNCA) and is on the CNCA Board of Directors.
