K9Research & Training Complex
Synergizing The Lab & The Field
Set on 520 acres in Iowa, The K9Sensus Education and Research Complex (ERC) provides extensive opportunities for training. Whether it be night operations or trainer interaction with a variety of animal species, the site will expand trainers’ understanding of learning processes and behavior.
Our Great Honor
Who We Are
Our Purpose / K9sensus delivers evidence-based training and coaching to public safety and volunteer professionals — the human end of the leash — including law enforcement, military, search and rescue, conservation, and service dog handlers dedicated to protecting and serving people and the environment. Our progressive curriculum is grounded in peer-reviewed research and focused on interpreting K9 behavior and stimulus response, designed to produce measurable outcomes: stronger human-K9 partnerships, improved team performance, and enhanced community safety.
Our Culture
We are humbled by the power of working dogs and their capacity to transform lives: They restore justice, return our loved ones, and recover our fallen. They are our protectors and our companions.
We are driven by a passion for the language animals speak and a desire to develop research-driven strategies to interpret their perceptions and responses. We hail from multiple academic and public safety disciplines, all committed to transforming theory into practice. We engage in a collaborative exchange of working dog experiences, behavioral theory, and educational innovation.
