Go SLTPCA!

What is SLTPCA you ask?

South Lake Tahoe Canine Association - visit their website (that Mark created) at www.sltpca.com

July 10, 11 and 12 SLTPCA hosted the 1st annual South Lake Tahoe Police K-9 Trials. Over 30 agencies from California and Nevada came and competed in:

Narcotics Search - dog teams compete to find hidden narcotics like methamphetamine, cocain, heroin and marijuana

Search Phase - dog teams compete to find a suspect hidden in an object on a field (like a car)

Obedience Phase - Conducted off-lead. Dog teams judged on how well they follow non-verbal commands

Agility Phase - tests the dogs ability to negotiate several obstacles and the handlers ability to lead his dog through the course

Protection Phase - dogs compete in how well they bite! (This is the coolest the watch...)

I am really proud of Mark and the team at South Lake PD. They did an awesome job putting the trials together. I can't wait till next year!
