Volunteering opportunity: K9 Training at Hobby Airport

All January 2024

Hobby Airport K9 is in need of decoy role players to assist in their upcoming K9 training sessions at Hobby Airport.  Below are the open dates/times for January 2024.

If you have an interest and have some spare time to share with their K9 units, they would love to have you join them.

Participants just need to give a heads up on which date is of interest and provide name/contact information so that they can be added the training calendar.

ATTIRE: role players/decoys generally dress in casual attire or clothing they would normally fly in and we encourage volunteers to bring some type of carry-on bag to assume the look of a flying passenger. We appreciate a variety of visual profiles for the teams to practice on and welcome those who wish to dress up, dress down, wear suits or just feel like wearing pajamas.

REQUIREMENTS: role playing requires no canine experience, but participants must be 18 years of age. The unit is an easy-going group and stresses the importance of participants having fun so that all, canine included, are enriched by the experience. Once a volunteer participates, they will not repeat for at least 60-90 days to prevent canine scent discrimination.
