This episode contains a truly important message to our industry. Ben Shaffer and Ray Murphy talk with Ted about bridging the gap. Ben is an active handler in Pennsylvania and a USPCA trainer covering advanced training and Ray is a co-owner of High Risk Deployment K9. They talk about the need for certifications and what they mean; and don’t mean. Ben addresses the skills gap between a certification standard and deployable skills while Ray talks about the best way to address and teach those skills in a scenario based environment.
