"Reasons We Get in Trouble"

This special 2-hour presentation is a new course and will be given twice at the 2013 CNCA Annual Training Conference in Burbank (CA) - January 7th through 10th. It will be an open-forum interactive discussion for handlers and supervisors facilitated by Sergeant Bill Lewis II ("Canine Liability 360") to identify patrol deployments and administrative issues from California and across the country that have given cause to legitimate and frivolous claims and lawsuits with the opportunity to share suggestions how to potentially avoid or better prepare for similar circumstances based on lessons learned and attendee input. A list of "Reasons We Get in Trouble" will be created based on input from attendees and the facilitator and will be distributed afterward. For more information regarding the conference - which now includes training presentations for patrol handlers - go to http://cnca.com and click on "CNCA Annual Conference."

"Handlers Forum"

TacticalK9USA.com attempts to assist handlers and trainers with problems they may be encountering on the street and/or at training in a timely manner. If you have a problem or situation with your service dog and you would like to seek the opinion of others registered on TacticalK9USA.com, you may forward your request to us and we will send it out via our distribution list to assist you. We have often learned that handlers experiencing similar situations can often assist as much as experienced trainers and we encourage you as a handler, supervisor or trainer to contribute if you can do so.

If you have encountered a similar situation as posted or can provide some insight to the benefit of another handler, send your response or recommendation to us. We will forward all responses to the handler or trainer requesting the information as received to provide timely input and then post selective responses pertaining to the specific situation to assist others.
