Certification and Re certification of Police Service Dogs in California.
Adlerhorst certified their first PSD in the mid 1970’s. California did not have a mandatory or suggested standard at the time.

We did however recognize PSD skills require on going training as well as periodic testing and certification to maintain a desired skill level as well as documentation for court.
All of our clients agreed and complied.

I personally approached California P.O.S.T. in an attempt to work with them as well as other agencies with PSD’s.
They were not at all interested.

Having lived in Europe in the early 1960’s I was involved in dog sports that closely parallel conditioning dogs for Police Service.
By far top sports people possessed far more skill then the police counterparts. However, I felt a strong certification geared to law enforcement was necessary.
To that end, I selected what I felt was the best European Police Certification for our clients.
The test we adopted, and still use today, with some modifications, is the standard we use today. That standard was, and still is, the standard used by the state of North Rheinland Westphalia.

The standard is on our web page.
