The Southwest Florida K-9 Search Unit is a non-profit team made up of highly trained volunteer support personnel, K-9 handlers, trainers and their canines. Our purpose is to assist law enforcement agencies, fire departments and emergency management services in a time of disaster or community need.
Seeking New K9 Training Sites
In our K9 training program, we continuously seek new training sites, scenarios, and environments to expose our K9s and handlers to diverse challenges. We aim to navigate through all types of terrain and work on scent detection and behavior across various areas in Florida and beyond.
We are always on the lookout for new training sites and challenges. We respect property and are deeply appreciative of those who assist us in our training efforts. Our team is fully insured and committed to being extremely respectful to land, wildlife, and all involved.
If you have property, land, or buildings that you are willing to let us use for training, please contact us at swflk9secretary@gmail.com.
