TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE

Do you know that there are decon situations where giving a full bath can actually put your dog at greater risk?
Are you aware that there are other scientifically-proven decon protocols besides a full bath? And that these protocols can be done easily out in the field?
Do you know research shows dish soap is not the most effective or safe cleanser to use for K9 decon (contrary to what the commercials try and tell you)?
Are you aware of the risks of repetitive decon if not done properly?

I WANT TO LEARN HOW TO KEEP MY DOG SAFE

DECON IS NOT JUST FOR DISASTER DOGS.

No matter what type of environment they work in, every search dog is at risk for coming in contact with a dangerous hazard.

Certain hazards leave visible signs on your dog's coat and paws, while others are invisible to the naked eye making them harder to detect.

Some hazards can cause acute onset of illness or death, while chronic exposure to other types of hazards can lead to long term health issues.

Health risks from these hazards extend to you and your family.

So while not all exposures warrants a full decon corridor, all hazards can have a serious and possibly fatal impact if not properly addressed.

LEARN HOW TO PROTECT YOUR DOG!

THERE IS MORE TO PROTECTING YOUR DOG THAN JUST GETTING THEM CLEAN...

Guarding your K9 partner from the dangers they encounter on a search requires your constant vigilance and attention to detail.

Dangers of Self-Grooming

You've seen your dog do it a 100 times. While resting in their crate, they groom themself.

Licking their paws, legs, and belly.

You are prepared to perform decon at the end of your search, but that's not all you need to worry about.

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO PROTECT YOUR DOG WHILE THEY ARE RESTING IN THEIR CRATE OR DURING TRANSPORT?

Risks of Repetitive Decon

Repetitive decon can damage your dog's #1 barrier of defense - their skin.

Research has shown that certain cleansers break down the protective features of your dog's coat and skin.

This can leave your dog susceptible to hazards entering you dog's system through lesions in the skin.

Still not sure this course is for you?

I already know how to properly decontaminate my dog.

We have no doubt that you have done your best to care for your dog; however, there is NEW research showing that some of what has been common place can actually be harmful to your dog. There are also NEW protocols available that are more targeted for certain types of exposures.

This course offers you easy to understand research updates and step-by-step protocols for each unique decon situation.

I don't think the material in this course is applicable to my specific discipline.

Hazards are present in all environments, not just the large-scale disasters that you see on the news. In addition to those hazards that cause immediate illness or death, there are many that may at first seem harmless, but with chronic exposure can also lead to serious health concerns. Hazards of both varieties can be present in wilderness or water searches in addition to disaster environments.

This course will demonstrate the prevalence of hazards in every search environment and help you identify those most commonly encountered by your dog.

I'm concerned the course may be too technical to understand.

This course is designed for search and rescue handlers, not scientists or anyone with special training. We use clear and simple language to explain the research and decontamination protocols to ensure everyone can easily understand the information.

This course was designed specifically for handlers like you to learn the most effective decon protocols and be able to put them immediately into practice.

I don't believe my dog is exposed to any hazards that require decontamination.

Even if your dog hasn't been exposed to hazardous materials in the past, there's always a risk in every search environment. There are hazards unique to each type of environment including wilderness, disaster, and water.

This course will help you identify those often unseen risks and choose the proper method for decontaminating your dog and keeping them safe.

I'm not sure if online learning is for me.

This course is designed to be user-friendly and easy to navigate. We also offer support throughout the course and are available to answer any questions you may have.

While we wish we could do all of our training in person with you, we know that is not feasible. Taking this course course gives you the fastest and most convenient way to access this life-saving information.

What if the information in this course is material I already know?

If you do not learn anything new, email us at info@thecfte.com within 1 week of purchase and we will refund your order.

Be ready the next time you go out the door!

You put hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars into training your search dog.

Don't risk it all because you aren't prepared to properly decon your dog when they are exposed to a dangerous hazard.
