Putting the focus where it counts, on professional Police Dog Training

Police K-9 Magazine and Canine Development Group have been working hard to make “H.I.T.S. 2008” an experience in K-9 Training that will no doubt leave a lasting impression on everyone who attends. We have overstocked our training agenda, and that’s not a bad thing, especially if you’re looking for what’s new in the field of Police Dogs and Training.

Prior attendees have said:
“The seminar provides classes and information for everyone, regardless of position or assignment. A great resource for anyone involved with working dogs.”

“This seminar is a must for both new and current K-9 handlers. In our world we get lazy and stagnant. It’s great to learn other training concepts to bring back to our agency to make it better.”

H.I.T.S. brings together world-class trainers from across the country to discuss the latest in patrol and detection training. With a world-class conference, professional training sessions, and a tradeshow that features specialized equipment and services, H.I.T.S. offers a complete forum for the canine professional.

Prior attendees offered this:
“Good selection of classes offered, you will get useful information and will learn something. Also you will have a chance to network with other K9 officers/ trainers from all over.”

“Great concept, great amount of training in a short amount of time, great networking and great opportunity for simple questions and answers.”

Added to an already outstanding seminar and tradeshow, H.I.T.S. offers NEW this year a DEMO DAY. On Saturday May 31, 2008 vendors of police dogs, police canine equipment and training equipment will be demonstrating their products and services. H.I.T.S. provides you the opportunity to see many different vendors of police dogs for the cost of traveling to one place. You now have the opportunity to compare each vendor nearly side by side. When have you been able to do this before?

Even if you are not looking to purchase a dog right now, H.I.T.S. provides you the chance to meet the vendors, get to know them and their training abilities and see the quality of the canines that they produce. Have you ever seen a product in a magazine and wonder if it works or how well it works, now you have the chance to see it in action. H.I.T.S. will provide transportation to and from the demonstration area. H.I.T.S. is the premier canine training event in the country, don’t miss it!

“Great way to gain knowledge, network and stay abreast of new techniques, gear and develop contacts.”

“Not only will I recommend HITS, but I will be bringing others to HITS in the future.”

These three days of instruction will be filled with valuable information for Patrol handlers and trainers, drug and bomb detection handlers and trainers as well as administrators of canine units. At H.I.T.S. you have the luxury to pick and choose what interests you in the world of police canine training.
