Historically, search and rescue K9 trainers have provided free training to handlers and their K9's. In the last few years many trainers have begun to charge for their services. While we agree that trainers deserve compensation, we believe that the dedicated volunteer search and recovery personnel need organized support for low-cost training from competent trainers
It is our goal to provide at cost training to these K9 teams.
NSI K9 does not endorse any one trainer nor any one training method. Our goal is to raise funds to provide expenses for trainers who are endorsed by NSI K9's Board of Directors.
In addition, we offer multiple training opportunities at no cost to the handler. Our services are delivered in the KY, OH and IN tri state area. We encourage K9 from outside of the tri state area to take advantage of our weekend training and our annual seminars.

North Star International K9 Training Association, aka NSI K9 or North Star is a non-profit, 501c3 limited liability company that is dedicated to bringing affordable training in the areas of trailing, human remains detection and area search.
