The Work

On September 17-20, 2018 we travelled to Larimer County, CO to a Helper Seminar presented by Franco. The seminar spots filled incredibly quickly with around 10 K9 handlers auditing as well. The weather was cooperative and there were multiple agencies in attendance across the Front Range. A range of helper levels of experience were present including attendies of previous seminars. We filmed a tremendous amount of gorgeous HD and aerial drone footage.

In July of 2019 we met with Franco in Manitou Springs, CO to obtain interview footage for completion of title 1 and stock for titles 2 and 3. Once acquired, we finalized the first title, completed color correction, scoring, audio adjustment and released the first title with excellent feedback and reviews. Program 2 and 3 are well underway and we expect release of Part 2 very soon!

The Location

Larimer County, CO about 1.5 hours north of Denver and is about half way between Denver and Cheyenne, WY. Denver is the capital of Colorado and is rich in history and known for music, the arts, professional sports and outdoor pursuits. Canine Training Systems relocated from Denver in 2006 and the area is incredible! The weather was ideal and we're very pleased with the footage.

If you visit Colorado for a seminar or vacation, I recommend the Visit Colorado website!
