Eugene P. Ramirez to Speak at the 2024 AKC National Detection Dog Conference

Founding Partner Eugene P. Ramirez will be presenting on July 25 at the American Kennel Club (AKC) National Detection Dog Conference on the contemporary legal environment for working canine dogs. He will provide an overview of the current trends and measures that can be taken in order to reduce litigation exposure for canine units and tactical teams.

This year’s theme is Detection Dogs: Past, Present & Future. The conference will include speakers that operate on the cutting edge of canine detection research, training, breeding and handling. The conference will look at the crucial role of working dogs in protecting public safety, current trends and context, and explore opportunities for breeders, researchers, industry leaders and trainers to work together to address the shortage of U.S. bred detection canines to improve future operations.
