Patrol Dog Training
Custom Canine Unlimited utilizes the most comprehensive and reliable training methods in training our patrol dogs. Case law is clear that a patrol dog must be under control. Our dogs are trained to incorporate the highest case law and industry standards to ensure “road ready” dogs. Our Patrol Dog & Handler Training will minimize failures in deployment and reduce liability for departments and organizations.
Custom Canine Unlimited trains some of the world’s most reliable patrol dogs and handlers. We maintain a great selection of faithful dual-purpose dogs at all times that remain in training until placed with a handler.
Trained Patrol Dogs
Our dual-purpose dogs are trained to the highest standards of patrol dogs to ensure they are ready for deployment in the real world.
This takes knowledge, experience, and dedication to a well-developed training plan. We develop dual-purpose dogs in all facets: Prey, Hunt, Defense, and Fight. Our patrol dogs are trained in Control, Gun Fire, Tactical Obedience, Area Search, Building Search, and Apprehension. Drug Detection, Explosives Detection or Tracking may be added to these dogs’ training.
Purchase these dogs trained or pair them with your next handler and enroll in an upcoming handler course.
Patrol Dog Handler Training
Our patrol dog handler courses are unsurpassed by industry standards. Each course provides theory, practical exercises, and testing in the classroom and the field to truly prepare the K-9 team to be “road ready” after their course. The team concept behind our patrol dog’s success is the belief we need to take time and teach each handler to a set standard. Our developed and proven curriculum comprises non-stop training opportunities: K9 Record Keeping, Kennel Maintenance, Grooming, First Aid, Maintenance Training Techniques, Decoy Training, and Practical Deployment Training. Downtime is minimized and training is maximized. We test a team in training so they don’t make mistakes on the road.

“Reliability Program”
Our “Reliability Program” has been developed over our years of working with dogs in the “real world.” This extensive law enforcement and military experience, working dogs, and training dog handlers for that environment have led us to uncover many faults in training. Nothing is worse than a dog or team that is great in training but cannot deploy reliably in the field. Our “Reliability Program” attacks these issues in three ways:
- Dog Selection: Selecting the proper dog for the task at hand is essential. The dog’s drive, characteristics, and health are vital elements of the process. As much of a science as an art, we use our extensive working and training knowledge to hand-select each of our dogs. We do not broker dogs.
- Dog Training: Training a dog foundational with science and experience at the core is vital in this phase. We set each dog up for success, and then we test each dog to uncover issues so that we may fix these issues. We fully understand there is no perfect dog.
- Dog Handler Training: Knowledge must flow down the leash, not up it. Therefore, each handler must be taught and tested in the skills required to apply in the field. Without being taught the knowledge, the handler will fail, but without the handler being tested, they will never know how strong they are, and they will never grow. Our handler training is developed around this principle.
This training may also be combined with these other training programs
- Drug Detection
- Explosives Detection
- Cell Phone Detection
- Tobacco Detection
- Contraband Detection
- Tracking
Core Training Values
Each of our courses is developed with a Core Value System to ensure that each dog and student is trained to apply what they learn in “real life. These Core Values include:
- Teach developed curriculum that is designed to maximize training time and potential
- A manual with complete details on what will be trained
- Full warranty provided
- Ensure record keeping of each course to reduce liability
- Fill-in-the-blank test requires the student to learn the material
- Practical exercises test each student in the field
