S.P.I.A.A. (Southern Police InstituteAlumni Association) Conferences
The 59th S.P.I.A.A. conferences are being held this week @ the” Hilton Oceanfront resort” on Singer Island, Florida. Sit Means Sit Palm Beach was asked to attend as a vendor/demonstrator for the event. Kody was a big hit and we had a great time.
Kody and I attended the Sit Means Sit Police K9 School
Kody and I had the opportunity to attend and assist Fred Hassen with the Sit Means Sit K9 School that was held in Polk County Florida. The purpose of the school was not to teach tactics, but to teach a higher level of control for the K9 teams. The handlers soon realized that through better control, they had more options open to them. We had a great time and Kody learned some new skills and had alot of fun in the process. We want to thank Fred for his instruction and the deputies of Polk County and the officers of Lakeland Police. We learned alot from you.
K9 Practice- Getting Kody ready for school
Kody and I will be participating in a Police K9 School that will be instructed by Fred Hassen. Shown here is some basic Police K9 courses that Police Dogs are tested on. First is the walking course. Dog stays with you as the handler walks out, makes a right, walks out, makes a right, walks out. Some courses have gun fire at this point. Dog and handler then returns to the start. I changed things up a bit for the return. Control of the dog is essential, but I really put some distance into this practice run. Looking forward to learning new techniques and polishing up existing ones with Fred Hassen.
South Florida Police Expo 2009
Sit Means Sit Trainer Bob Burnell and his dog Kody participated in the South Florida Police, Fire, and Security Expo at the Palm Beach Convention Center. Once again, Sit Means Sit showed off our style of training and the benefits that can be achieved. This year, we brought our new puppy- Kacey. I am not sure which dog impressed the crowd more.

I.U.P.A Police Conference in Orlando
Fred Hassen, Darin Shepherd and I were invited to attend the I.U.P.A Police Conference in Orlando (Aug 2008) to put on a demonstration for the opening of the event. We were a big hit with the crowd and had a great time.

Three of the clips which demonstrates how are style of training teaches a superior level of control without sacrificing any desire on the dog’s part. Shown here is my dog Kody, who up to this point has had very little bitework instruction.
