American Society of Canine Trainers International Board and Train Certification

Dogs will receive training for detection, tracking, patrol work, etc. that meets the ASCTI certification standards. Dogs will be considered fully trained and ready to work live. The training may be issued as a one time title certification similar to a title in schutzhund/AKC tracking/Nosework, or a live working title as long as the handler/owner goes through a school with the dog. This training is offered for those that already have a pet dog and want it trained in a speciffic discipline. Police and Sheriff Departments wanting a trained dog need to check the information on the police canine page.

Rates include the boarding of the dog and miles traveled by trainer. It does not include pick up of dog. Food and some pieces of equipment are not included and owners must provide it. ASCTI certification/title fee is not included in the board and train cost ($165 one time for title or yearly for a live certification). Owners must pay the one time certification fee directly to ASCTI once the dog finishes training and passes all certs.

Tracking is a skill that takes an immense amount of time and ability on the dog and trainer’s part. This is why the cost and lenght of time is significantly higher than detection alone. Some dogs require longer periods of time to complete training. Should training go past the standard time listed below, trainer and owner will discuss further costs.
