Advanced Operations Schools

"I have been attending various K9 classes every year for 7 years. Some of those were the mega-conferences in the desert. I grew tired of so many handlers and such little time. Last year I attended an ASCT conference for the first time and I was amazed. I learned more in 3 days than the previous 7 years. I will stay with ASCT from now on because I'm looking for training and not a vacation. Thanks again. You guys are what K9 is supposed to be about!"

"I attended the K9 UTT class in Dallas and was encouraged by the attitude of the Instructor. SMI Ashie could answer every question I had without hesitation and I don't think I ever heard him say...no one knows. He made the entire class feel confidence in him and ASCT. Since then, I have been certified for 1 year and have attended SMI Aycock's class. Incredible organization.

All programs have limited seating. ASCT regards education and instruction as the most important aspect of all law enforcement K9 development. Thus, there are restrictions on the number of students per instructor. Some classes fill very quickly. Serious inquiries should be made early.
