We often train dogs for local law enforcement.
This #K9 class we are training a pup for @fairfaxpolice & one for @fredcova Fire Marshal.pic.twitter.com/e1k5MUF5wy
For the “Fall 2017 Puppy Class” we needed to find 6 dogs: 4 for CIA and 1 each for @fredcova & @fairfaxpolice.pic.twitter.com/rh7qbYOMkV
Our “puppies” range in age anywhere from 8 months to 2 ½ years old & are almost always dogs being released from service dog programs.
While over-the-top, impossible to turn off energy isn’t always great in a service dog, it is exactly what our #K9 trainers are looking for.pic.twitter.com/3j6Ag0iF7l
Our #K9 instructors visit several organizations —like @SSDOGS & @PBBassociation— testing puppies for potential inclusion in the class.pic.twitter.com/E6NKsQXSgI
Like many #K9 explosive detection programs, we use Labrador Retrievers because of their non-stop energy, friendly demeanor, & love of food.pic.twitter.com/Xxm400Br7G
CIA’s #K9s are trained using food rewards, so a strong food drive & a high level of energy are very important.pic.twitter.com/n8kLK6xndK
CIA #K9 instructors run tests to see how pups react to various situations they might encounter during training & on the job.pic.twitter.com/qSK7oTMKZH
Our #K9 instructors evaluate & score each dog. Once all programs are visited & all dogs are scored, they take the dogs with highest scores.
