This point system is not mandatory, but it is a way for you to keep track of your dog's progress throughout his work in the K9-Unit.
I have made it vague and broad so your imaginations can go wild! Now go out there and have fun! 8D
You can now earn points through TKC for each certification!! Each training image counts as an event, since technically it's a test. And after a certain number of points your dog is certified and earns 25xp!!
TRAINING
In order to allow your dog to excell at a particular K9 field, like scent-detection or police work, they must be trained in that field sufficiently. This is where the training facet comes into play.
Training ranges in levels and difficulty, and the dog gains points for participating in different training methods. These are divided by programs in the K9-Unit, but if you want your dog to be well-rounded you can participate in training on different focuses (ex. If you want your Malinois to do both police work and scent-detection, you can train for both). After your dog earns enough points, it will be given a ribbon showing its certification.
