Can-Am Training Supplies was founded
in 1993 by Pierre Lafond
with the goal of
designing and producing a durable and affordable Bite Suit for all types of training -
police, KNPV, protection, Schutzhund, Ring,etc.
"I started in
Belgian ring in 1975 under Michel Dubuc. Suits at that time weighed 60-70 pounds!!
In 1985,I started in Ring Sport.
Our club and business were going through
three or four suits per year, at approximately $1000 a piece (in 1985 dollars!).
Then, in 1993, I started making my own suits, trying hundreds of different fabrics and
materials and many different construction techniques.
When I found a fabric that was
durable and affordable, safe for the dogs' teeth and learned to work with it, I knew that
I had found what I was looking for."
We have continued to expand our
line, and now offer a full range of dog training equipment. Using the equipment
daily with fellow members of our French Ring Sport club gives us first hand knowledge
of what is needed in training equipment. That experience, combined with continued
feedback from customers, has enabled us to design and make what we believe is some of
the best equipment available today.
