Splitting her time between Canada and the United Kingdom, Chris has worked with military members and Veterans from conventional and Special Operations units, NATO, NASA, the RCMP, and first-responder organizations around the world. Her work focuses on injury prevention, physical performance, chronic pain, and the unique healthcare needs of women serving in military and emergency response roles.

These canine teams are capable of vertical delivery, deploying via helicopter hoist onto vessels. They detect explosives, participate in counterterrorism missions, and train frequently at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland to maintain proficiency. Key details about the U.S. Coast Guard K9 program include: Specialization: Dogs are trained specifically for explosive detection to support maritime security. Deployment Capabilities: These elite units can deploy from helicopters to vessels for high-risk boardings and operations. Units and Locations: 18 handler/dog teams are stationed across the country, including MSRT East and West, as well as Maritime Safety and Security Team Houston. Training and Certification: Dogs undergo rigorous training at Joint Base San Antonio Lackland. They also participate in joint training with air stations and cutters. Mission Focus: Following 9/11, the focus shifted to explosive detection, protecting against CBRNE (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive) threats. The teams often work in collaboration with local, state, and federal partners and are, for example, used to secure major events like the Super Bowl.
