Our SWAT K-9 training is based on National Tactical Officer’s Association standards, as well as the Tennessee Tactical Officer's Association. We have one S.W.A.T. K-9 Police Dog, and she is the only one of six S.W.A.T. canines who have completed the NTOA recognized course in the State of Tennessee. She is also the ONLY canine that's not municipality owned and ready for S.W.A.T. deployment. She was raised, trained, and titled by Nashville K-9.

We concentrate on training tactical police dogs. As a result, your K9 Team becomes a highly deployable tool in conjunction with your S.W.A.T, SRT, SORT, HRT, or other Entry Team operations.
