EducationOR6’s educational programs focus on working dogs and the jobs they encompass. Our aim at OR6 is to bring an awareness and value to all the work these dogs do for us.
Police Dogs protect us, Service Dogs help us, and Conservation dogs protect our environment. Other working dogs find people, herd animals, assist in investigations, smell cancer, find gas leaks, and more than we could ever imagine. Knowing the facts about working dogs provides a platform to ascend petty political agendas aimed to dismantle an essential work force. Understanding their value and their drive to be at their job is nothing less than inspiring. |
Education Service DogsLess than fifty percent of Americans can decipher the difference between a service dog from a therapy dog. OR6 finds the discrepancy more essential today with the growing population of dog owners.
Children and adults seldom restrain themselves from coming up to a strange service dog in public and just start petting them. The ignorance of innocently petting a service dog without permission could cause devastating consequences. While a seizure dog is busy being distracted by a stranger the handler falls flat on their face. This is a perfect example why education is important involving service animals. Click Here to get more information on OR6 educational programs. OR6 knows how important education is for your company and your employees to properly identify a service dog. OR6 can provide your management and employees the education they need to know about service dogs under the guidelines of the ADA. Knowing the rights of the company and individual under the Civil Rights Division can help stop bad reviews or unnecessary legal action.

Education Working K9sWhen a breeder or trainer hands the leash over to an handler the first and final words are, “continue training.” Handlers learn to trust their K9 though training and continuing education programs like OR6 and their partners. We help build a strong bond between handler and K9 to be more effective unit on the job.
Our objective is to reduce questionable K9 deployments and weak alerts exploited by criminal lawyers to dismantle a case. Often these lawyers exploit K9s as unnecessary force in apprehension or problematic seizures of narcotics. NOT TRUE! Unfortunately these criminal cases give police chiefs cause to discontinue their K9 program or not to invest in dual purpose K9s for their department. Even with the statistic knowledge K-9 units are essential for stoping criminal activity. Decision making for adding K-9 units are often based off public pressure, compounded by criminal lawyers. In truth K9s deescalate situations that could otherwise be probable cause for lethal force. They find drugs that would otherwise be distributed to school kids, or weapons used in criminal activity, or explosives in a terrorist act. It’s what we don’t hear in the news that keeps us safe. These education/training programs cost money that many departments don’t provide for their K9 programs. So hence where you come in. Raising funding for continuing police K9 training directly benefits your neighborhood, and your family. Click Here to learn how you can help. |
Education Conservation DogsConservation dogs don’t usually recycle paper but lets not put it past them. Conservation dogs help their human counterparts track down endangered species through odor detection.
Dogs can be imprinted on bio waste, plants, fungi, insects, muscles, reptiles, and the list goes on. Basically dogs speed up the detection process by seeing through and around objects with their super powerful nose. Odor moves with air currents climbing up trees, pooling in groves, or snaking across the ground leaving a tail that dogs can follow to the source. OR6 is educating kids from K-12 on conservation projects with dogs. By educating kids on the possibilities to use a natural resource when working to save the planet your also creating hope for the future. OR6 needs your support to fund these programs.
