Narcotics Handler Course
Phenomenal instructor, has high expectations for his students and hold them to it. Really personable and easy to understand instructions.
Drug Handler Course
Coming into class with no previous K9 experience, I was extremely apprehensive. Upon arriving on the first day, the tone was set and off we went. Day 2 was the first time my three and a half year old dog had any form of obedience training. The picture added is of him, off leash in a stay. I would have never thought that was possible after day two. Three weeks flew by with the amount of training and experiences I encountered. As I leave campus with my certificate, I know exponentially more than when I arrived. I’m confident that in the future any assistance I need, is only a phone call away.
Very Informative
This is my second class at CCU. Both times I have attended courses, I have gained valuable knowledge to perform. All the instructors are there to help you. If you have questions they will give you an answer. They will show you and explain until it makes sense.
