Dozens of K-9 teams hold police dog training at State Farm Stadium in Glendale

GLENDALE, Ariz. – K9 teams across the region have made their way to the Valley for explosive detection training.

The free two-day program will help K9s stay proficient in recognizing the odors they’re trained to detect, and their teams are put through several real life scenarios.

“Working with DHS, they have set up different scenarios. They have put different materials within the boxes and containers, and these teams consist of one officer and one canine,” said Lieutenant Brian Knueppel from Phoenix Police Department.
