The Operational Reality
Limited Deployment Options
Traditional K9 deployment methods force handlers to choose between speed, control, and safety. In dynamic environments, those tradeoffs can introduce unnecessary risk for both handler and K9.
Urban structures, low-light conditions, tight hallways, and outdoor terrain amplify the risks of conventional deployment, increasing the chance of error when seconds matter.
Handlers are often left with only two conventional choices—neither ideal under operational stress.
Dropping The Lead
Lead can become entangled with the environment rendering the K9 ineffective.
Entanglement can halt the K9 mid-deployment.
Loss of control may halt the operation
Manually Detaching The Lead
Slower and frequently one-handed
Forces the K9 to give up ground and return to the handler.
May expose the handler and K9 to potential threat without cover.
