The first annual International Casino and Resort K-9 Trials has made its way to the Las Vegas valley.

During Friday’s event, handlers and the dogs demonstrated their skills to be ranked as the best in various categories.

Ryan Millbern is the president of the International Casino and Resort Working Dog Association and organizer of the event.

“That’s what this organization is for, and today’s event is to bring all these teams together so we can all meet together,” explained Millbern. “When we collaborate training aids, instructors, and all those training areas it really raises the capabilities for all the dogs in the city.”
