Each of the K-9 participating have undergone an extensive 235 hour training program. "In this presentation they (the dogs) will attack on command a Cedar City Police Officer, Mike Harrison. Mike, the agitator, will donate his time to help with the demonstration," Betty Neff, president of the Southern Utah K-9 Club indicated.
