ATK9 Conference (2026)
The board members possess extensive Military and Law Enforcement K9 expertise, involving handling K9s in challenging combat situations and urban environments. The team consists of experienced handlers and trainers with backgrounds in elite units like Special Operations and SWAT.
Our Association was founded to provide K9 teams with realistic training which will increase both the handler's and K9's survivability. Most handlers don't have the opportunity to conduct advanced training due to budgetary constraints. We recognize the way handlers become more proficient is through exposure to multiple training methodologies. There weren't any options for handlers to seek world class training at an affordable rate. We sought to meet that demand in order to educate our handlers and keep them and their partners safe.
