Multi-Purpose Canines (MPC’s) have emerged as one of our combatants, an operator, and a fellow teammate. MPC’s operate throughout the theater of local law enforcement, SWAT, DHS, DoD, DoS, and especially within our Special Operation Forces; SEALs, Army SF, Marines. These canine warriors have a high probability of sustaining trauma and/or a life-threatening injury while in these environments. It is imperative that Dog Handlers, Medics, and First Responders be trained how to perform life-saving medical care in the Pre-Vet / Pre-Hospital setting, to enable them to save their teammates life.
Our 2-day course of instruction will provide everyone who attends the training the necessary knowledge and skill set needed to recognize and treat life-threatening injuries.

Our staff of instructors have years of real-world experience, from working with top Special Operations Units in our military, to our civilian counterparts that work with K9’s on daily basis.
We offer scenario-based Final Training Exercises, specific to the clients operational environment.
