About me

Location	West River, South Dakota, United States
Introduction	I've spent the past 21 years training dogs. I've handled everything from a dual purpose patrol/narcotics Belgian Malinois to a single purpose Explosive Detection Labrador Retriever. I've been a line officer, canine handler/trainer/master trainer, Sgt., and detective. I had the privilege to assist the US Secret Service with Dignitary Protection, an assignment that became quite challenging after 9-11. At times philosophical, but mostly blunt, I motivate handler and dog alike by demanding the best from both species; each with their own faults, together a combined strength that brings justice to the world. I live on the prairie of South Dakota away from the cell phones, instant messaging, traffic, population, and the madness of civilization. It is here, amongst the prairie winds that I work and train. It is here that time stands still and the wearing of a watch is not necessary for the sun and moon define your day and the dogs always know the time. It is here where souls are revitalized, canine training is maximized, and learning becomes the key to success. An invitation is extended to those who desire to escape the madness and experience the truth between themselves and their canines.
