Elite Animals: Auburn’s Canine Performance Sciences producing top-notch community protectors
A special group of people at Auburn University are working hard to make the world a safer place, one four-legged pooch at a time.
Through Canine Performance Sciences (CPS) — a program dedicated to breeding, training, research and technology transfer of talented dogs — the university is placing the elite animals in communities across the country. Whether it is serving as a K-9 officer, working to detect illegal substances, firearms and explosives, serving as school resource agents or providing a variety of law enforcement functions, the Auburn University Dog — a trademarked brand — continues to be a valuable asset to Americans from coast to coast.
