United States Police Canine Association Region 19

Certification Rules

The purpose of “certifying” as a Police Dog Team is to show that you and your dog meet certain minimum standards.  Meeting these standards ensures reliability on the street and credibility in court.

PDI (Police Dog I) certification includes obedience, agility, article search, suspect search, and criminal apprehension.
