Mission Statement: World Class Accredited K9 Training Institution & K9 Solutions Provider
Menu
American K-9 Interdiction, LLC. ™ (AK9I™) is proud to announce that they have partnered up with Meritize, a comprehensive lending company focused on solutions for student loans. Meritize will be able to provide up to $15,100 in financing. The only prerequisites are that a minimum of 50% of the total tuition amount is due prior to the beginning of class, and that the remaining balance due to AK9I™ must be paid in full within six months of graduation. It can be a combination of funding from Meritize and private funds. Students can then arrange to either pay the balance in full or set up an interest free payment plan for the balance, through AK9I™ provided that the balance is paid in full within six months.
Example 1: Student A opts to attend the 13-week course which costs a total of $24,100. 50% of that amount would be $12,050. They get approved for the max amount of $15,100 from Meritize at a repayment term of 120 months, so that satisfies the dollar amount needed to begin classes. The student then sets up a payment plan with AK9I™ for the remaining balance of $9,000 which can be stretched out to 6 months from the date of graduation at 0% interest.
Example 2: Student B opts to attend the 13-week course, which costs a total of $24,100, with $12,050 needed up front. The student gets approved for $10,000 in funding from Meritize, payable over 120 months. The student would need an additional $2,050 to provide to AK9I prior to the beginning of class. The remaining balance of $12,050 can then be set up on an interest free payment plan stretched out up to 6 months from graduation.
The Meritize platform will offer educational financing to qualified students enrolled in the approved programs and have the flexibility of choosing from multiple repayment options that each have a post course completion grace period. Meritize brings more than traditional lending services to the student as they offer a substantial amount of support for post-employment such as resume writing, interview preparation, networking assistance, and other career services.
The hope is that this new partnership will allow for those that may not have the resources to cover the cost of tuition to still accomplish their goal to attend one of our courses! For more information visit https://www.meritize.com/.

Bite work, grip development, decoy mechanics and development, single and multi-person pursuit and apprehension, apprehension from a vehicle, apprehension with gunfire, vehicle extractions, handler protection, prisoner escorts, recalls and outs, tracking and trailing. Utilizing Operant Conditioning methods, students will condition their dogs to pursue, bite, hold and guard a decoy with and without gunfire under a multitude of conditions, locations and stimuli.
Application of Principles of Conditioning (reward schedules, fixed and variable ratios and intervals) for the commands of “sit, stay, down, heel and come” walking in heel position and obstacle agility course. Utilizing Operant Conditioning methods, students are taught to condition the dogs to respond to basic verbal and hand commands and navigate the obstacle course using positive reinforcement methods.
Canine odor recognition protocol (4-hole variable, odor wall), practical application of detector dog handling search pattern and search procedures in buildings, vehicles, warehouses, stadiums offices, open areas parcels, luggage and bomb threat response protocols. Using operant conditioning methods, students are taught to condition a “green” dog to detect and passively respond to target odors in different environments.
Final certification of detector dog team in real world environments using North American Police Working Dog Association (NAPWDA) certification standards. Students will certify with their dog by demonstrating their dog’s ability to detect and respond with a passive response to the target odors. Students will also be able to identify their dog’s behavioral change when the dog is in the scent cone and working to source.
Orientation, canine safety, canine health care and grooming, canine kenneling and transportation, Principles of Conditioning, explosives and narcotics safety, storage and transportation. This segment of the course is designed to teach students safety practices in and around the kennels and safe handling and transportation of explosives and narcotics. Students are introduced to Operant Conditioning (reward schedules) and Classical conditioning (pairing of unconditioned and conditioned stimuli) escape training, the canine sensory spectrum and titration levels.
