HELLO COLLEAGUE!  THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN CHALLENGING THE HRD LAND K9 FIELD EXAM.  THERE ARE NUMEROUS REQUIREMENTS THAT MUST BE COMPLETED, IN ORDER TO TEST.  PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE PAGE BEFORE FILLING OUT ANY INFORMATION.  YOU MUST, IN ADDITION TO FILLING OUT THE REGISTRATION FORM, SUBMIT ALL THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION AND FEES, AT THE TIME OF REGISTRATION.  IF YOU DON’T HAVE THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS HANDY, PLEASE EXIT THIS PAGE, GATHER UP THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS AND PAYMENT METHODS, THEN RETURN TO ENTER/SUBMIT ALL THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS AND FEES TO SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE THE REGISTRATION PROCESS.  WE LOOK FORWARD TO TO WORKING WITH YOU!

This is the registration process for attaining national certification as an AERIE HRD Land K9 Handler and for your Canine Partner as a certified HRD Land K9.  This is the field testing portion of the certification process.  Please make sure you have completed all the pre-requisites to be eligible for this certification testing.   The link to those pre-requisites is: Description of AERIE HRD Land K9 Certification   Upon completion of Registration and Ticketing, you will receive a link to challenge the AERIE online K9 Generic Written Examination.  There is no additional fee for the written exam.
