Our Mission
Preparing handlers, dogs, and teams to do the work. K9 Water Leak Detection University is the vocational education resource behind canine water leak detection, built on hands on training and the partnerships that protect our most precious resource: water.
What we do
At K9 Water Leak Detection University, our mission is to conserve water, protect infrastructure, and serve communities by preparing handlers, dogs, and teams to do the work through hands-on, vocational training built to the highest professional standards.
