MAIN PROGRAM
WHAT AWAITS YOU
K9 OBRONA
K9 TRAINING
Dog and handler teams in 3 specializations: bite work, detection, tracking and SAR — for services and civilians.
SERVICES + CIVILIANS
K9 DETEKCJA
K9 DETECTION
Learn techniques used by special units — from building the dog's scent profile to search procedures in urban and industrial environments. Understand why most detection dogs have gaps handlers are unaware of — and how to close them.
SERVICES + CIVILIANS
K9 SAR/TROPIENIE
K9 SAR/TRACKING
Real search scenarios — from woodland tracking to built-up area SAR. Learn to read the dog's work when you cannot see the trail. Skills you can apply the next day.
SERVICES, CIVILIANS & NGOs
TCCC
TCCC AND FIRST AID
Tactical Combat Casualty Care, TCCC-K9 and pre-medical first aid for every participant.
PRO-DEFENCE + CIVILIANS
DRONY
RECONNAISSANCE DRONES
You'll understand how unmanned aerial systems are transforming tactics in the field. You'll learn the basics of UAV mission planning, operator coordination with ground forces, and real-time image analysis. This knowledge is useful for both law enforcement and civilian organizations.
SERVICES + CIVILIANS
KONFERENCJA
CRISIS MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE
Panels for municipalities and local authorities covering internal security, civil defence and crisis management.
LOCAL GOV + ALL
OBSERWATOR
OBSERVATION
Full access to all training groups as an observer — K9 defense, K9 detection, K9 SAR/tracking, TCCC, drones and TCCC-K9. Watch professional techniques, learn from the best and gain knowledge on your own terms.
SERVICES, CIVILIANS & NGOs
HARDEST HIT
HARDEST HIT COMPETITION
Test yourself and your dog in controlled competition. See how the best protection dogs in Poland and Europe work. Whatever the result — you leave motivated to train harder.
PROTECTION DOGS
PIERWSZA POMOC
FIRST AID
Resuscitation, haemorrhage control, casualty stabilisation. Open both event days, no ticket, no registration — because first aid skills should not be a privilege.
FOR EVERYONE
SYMULACJA
ATTACK SIMULATION
Full tactical scenario. Civilians and services work side by side — no split between observers and participants. See how your training holds up against realistic stress. This exercise reshapes your training priorities for months ahead.

The car is parked at the shore. Three hours have passed. The clock is ticking.
An empty car by the lake. Keys, phone, jacket inside. An angler — last seen hours ago. Family calls, no answer. The water is cold. The forest is dense. Time is running out. One thing matters now: can someone find him before it is too late.
