Offerings

Cannon Canine Consulting provides mission-focused K9 training designed to reduce operational risk, improve deployment reliability and sustain long-term unit readiness. Our services are built around real-world application, not theory, ensuring handlers and supervisors can trust performance.

All training is scalable, allowing us to support teams at any stage of development, from foundational skills to advanced operational capability.

Core Training Disciplines

E-Collar Application

Proper electronic collar use is a risk management issue, not a convenience tool. We provide structured instruction on ethical, effective application that enhances communication and control without creating dependency or fallout. Emphasis is placed on decision-making, timing and accountability in operational environments.

Tracking

We develop reliable tracking dogs capable of working varied terrain, aged tracks and environmental challenges. Training focuses on problem-solving, handler interpretation and maintaining accuracy.

Detection

Our detection training prioritizes consistency and defensibility. We address odor recognition, search patterns and the reduction of handler influence to reduce false alerts and strengthen courtroom reliability.

Tactical Obedience

Obedience must hold under stress, proximity to threats and dynamic environments. We build control that supports safe movement, containment and tactical positioning during deployments.

Problem Solving

Operational failures rarely come from lack of effort; they come from gaps in understanding. We identify weaknesses in training systems, handler mechanics and deployment decisions, then provide clear corrective pathways.

Deployment Engagement

We train teams to engage deployments with purpose and control. This includes call-out management, approach considerations and maintaining command presence while reducing unnecessary risk to handlers, suspects and agencies.

Regular Maintenance Training

Skill decay is a predictable risk. We offer structured maintenance training to preserve performance standards, address emerging issues and keep teams operationally sharp between certifications and major training cycles.

Laser Directional

We provide instruction in laser directional techniques to improve distance handling and target acquisition. Training emphasizes precision, handler discipline and integration into existing operational protocols.

Courses, Seminars, and Instruction

Cannon Canine Consulting offers customized courses, seminars and on-site instruction tailored to your unit’s operational needs, staffing realities and budget constraints. Training can be delivered as short-format seminars, multi-day courses or ongoing support programs.

Our approach spans basic to advanced instruction, ensuring teams receive relevant training that aligns with their current capabilities while building toward higher operational standards.

Operational Readiness Through Risk Management

Every service we provide is evaluated through the lens of operational readiness and risk reduction. Our objective is not just better-trained dogs but more confident handlers, defensible deployments and K9 teams agencies can rely on when outcomes matter most.
