Landheim Training Center

Welcome to Landheim 

K-9 Law Enforcement Training Center

The Landheim Law Enforcement Training Center takes great pride in the quality of its training programs and staff.  All of our K9 law enforcement trainers are current or retired police officers who know what it's like to make the call on today's fast paced and ever-changing streets.  This, as opposed to working in the vacuum of a high security government installation or military base, is critical in understanding how to train your K9 team.  Our goal at Landheim is to always offer the latest and best training available.

Trained under the guidelines set by the NAPWDA, USPCA, or the PSP and DPO of Germany.

The Police K-9 courses at Landheim are geared towards training an officer from your department in new, innovative methods of Police Dog Training.  Technology in this field continues to advance rapidly.  These methods can increase efficiency in a K-9 unit while reducing liability to the police department.  In the criminal apprehension phase, the dogs are trained to conform to legal sanctions regarding the use of force.  This is accomplished  through skills developed and knowledge gained in several training techniques to include muzzle, bite suit, concealed and exposed sleeves.  Students should expect to spend a great deal of time developing their agitation skills.  Tactical deployment, officer survival skills and use of dogs in specialized operations are also instructed as a part of the apprehension phase.  

During detector work, enough time is available for teaching the dogs to give unmistakable and clear indications, which are necessary in today’s courts.  Whether a passive or aggressive alert is taught, a clear indication is possible in narcotics, explosives, arson and weapon searches today due to the innovative manner in which these detector dogs are trained.  The safest procedures are taught to the participant so that these highly stressful situations can be handled with greater competency.

Due to a more complete awareness of the scent capabilities of dogs when tracking, extremely efficient results are now obtained through the training procedures that were developed here and are now being used in Europe and around the world.  Dogs are taught to track in all terrains and surfaces and clearly indicate any evidence found along the track of the perpetrator.  In our highly mobile society, offenders often have transportation waiting after the commission of a crime.  Therefore, the actual path of the suspect and any evidence available is of utmost importance.  Not only can offenders be apprehended, but also discarded evidence may link them to the crime.

The handler student learns new training methods, which enable a police dog to reach his maximum potential by enhancing and stimulating drives within the dog.  These technological advances have already proven themselves in police departments across the country.  Landheim graduates, from Virginia to Colorado, have successfully applied our training techniques.  Police dogs are now able to apprehend the most aggressive criminal yet be under control, even out of sight of the handler.  Today’s police dogs allow for a far greater advantage in the area of public relations. 

Other areas include handler survival skills and economical maintenance.  The knowledge gained during this extensive course will give handlers excellent awareness of what limitations and potential exists within their K9 partner.
