2026 S.W.A.T. K-9 Integration Seminar

During this seminar we worked with agencies across the state of MIchigan and helped them integrate their K-9 units into a SWAT team. Backchaining stacks and room clearing with the dogs, we also worked on team neutrality. Exposed the dogs to CS gas, Flash bangs, Pepperball guns, and Drones. We did vehicle extractions and a full double blind scenario on day 3 using the MRAP to arrive. Teams progressed each day and worked on passive apprehensions as well as pressure prior, during, and after the apprehension. Then to cap it all off we let the dogs have fun on the last day and did a Hard dog - Fast dog competition.
