K9 Medic ProgramServing K9s in Their Time of NeedWe ask them to defend us, find us, go before us in times of danger, and endure extreme conditions. We ask for complete loyalty and commitment. Our K9s are always there when we need them, ready to serve us with their lives, if necessary. K9 Medic is dedicated to helping working service dogs in their time of need. Multidisciplinary ApproachK9 Medic brings together the worlds of Special Operations Tactical Medicine, Veterinary Medicine, Extraction Technique, and human Emergency Medical Services. Experts in these areas contribute special knowledge and ways to provide medical services to K9s injured in the field, often in treacherous or hostile environments.Whether you’re a K9 handler, a tactician or support, this course is designed for you. Law enforcement officers, tactical medics, paramedics, vet techs, and veterinarians all will come away with new skills and a greater appreciation of the extent to which K9 medicine can be performed in the field—when every second counts. Real-World SkillsFew of us will deploy to a well-lit classroom or lab. So while our program might start there, that’s just the beginning. K9 Medic takes you outside, where you’ll get dirty and work in conditions matching the operations you’re most likely to encounter.Muscle MemoryGood training lives in your muscles—at the ready when you need it most. That’s why we drill each primary skill repetitively. We also have timed competitions. And yes... we do some of it upside down and in the dark. So when the time comes—when one day you find yourself in a serious situation where space is tight and you can’t see or hear what’s going on around you—you’ll thank us. And so will your K9.Field Training ExercisesAre you ready to put it all together? You will be! To graduate from K9 Medic, students must successfully complete a full field training exercise custom-designed to the specific needs of the group. This thinking-on-the-fly experience might involve an extraction from a rubble pile, a routine vehicle sweep gone bad, or some other real-world scenario (with a few twists and turns thrown in) designed to challenge the handler-K9 team to the max.Continuing Education CreditWe know you need the paperwork to prove you've learned all of these great skills. That's why we're working with POST, NREMT, and RACE to provide the accredited CE hours your profession requires. |
