K-9 Training


Mike and Jenny (his dog) headed out Sunday to Twin Falls for the annual Idaho Police Association K-9 conference. They thought I was a dork because I wanted a picture before he left - but I got the picture! 

 They spent the week with other K-9 handlers from all over the state doing all sorts of training that they don't get to do anywhere else. Last year they got to deploy out of a helicopter! This year they were able to rappel down a cliff with their dogs secured to them. Mike loved it!

Mike just got a GoPro camera that he can mount on his chest and was pretty excited to try it out this week. He has lots of video from their different activities.

At the end of the training week they do a competition called K-9 trials. As a team, Mike and Jenny placed 3rd in drug detection. Way to go!!

The only bad thing about this week is Mike came home sick as a dog and spent a couple of days in bed with a really bad cold/sinus infection.
