Thank you to Corn belt kennel club for your continued support of our k9 operations team!The K9 Operations Team would like to thank Corn Belt Kennel Club (CBKC) for their on-going support of our team through their generous donations each year. The donations from CBKC play a critical role in allowing our team to attend professional training seminars and to also maintain important equipment that is vital to our training and deployment. For example, in May 2017 the entire K9 team traveled to West Virginia to spend four days working with one of the top working K9 trainers in the country, Mike Suttle, of Logan Haus Kennels. These seminars provide invaluable learning and experiences for both our handlers and our K9s, but are often out of our reach financially. In April 2019 the team brought in two nationally-recognized trainers (Chris Weeks and Mary Cablk) for two days of specialized training in trailing, human remains detection, and legal considerations/best practices for SAR K9s. We want to thank them for their ongoing support of our team and the work that we do. Thank you Corn Belt Kennel Club!
