This is our fifth episode from our HITS K9 conference series. Speaking of HITS, they will be returning August 26-29, 2024 at the HYATT REGENCY in New Orleans, LA. Get your tickets to this conference early!⁣  hitsk9.net⁣

The gents chat with Brad Gillespie about teaching two different tracking classes at the HITS K9 Conference. In this episode, we get heavy into tracking, and Gillespie’s extensive experience.

Gillespie has been handling and training Police and Military Working Dogs for over 20 years. He has hundreds of operational K9 tracking apprehensions, and is currently a trainer for the second largest K9 program in Canada where he specializes in tactical integration of K9 teams and explosive detection.

Gillespie was previously the Ontario director of the CPCA for three years. He began his K9 career with the Winnipeg Police Service and then spent some time with the military before becoming a K9 trainer for the Ontario Provincial Police.

Gillespie currently handles a single purpose Explosive Detection Dog as well as a General Service Dog. He is a director for the Canadian Police Canine Association and also supports training through Full Spectrum K9 International (a non-profit organization) where he emphasizes training development of the dog, the handler and the team.

Gillespie’s combined Military and Police experience afford him a perspective that facilitates the development and employment of area of operation, principle based tactics. This is another information-packed episode that you do NOT want to miss!

Episode 203: Helen Keller can track in a straight line with Brad Gillespie 

This is our fourth episode from our HITS K9 conference series. Speaking of HITS, they will be returning August 26-29, 2024 at the HYATT REGENCY in New Orleans, LA. Get your tickets to this conference early!⁣  hitsk9.net⁣
⁣
Darren DJ Holmes wants to know the “What am I doing”. That he could be doing better, the why, and the how when it comes to detection based training. ⁣
⁣
Holmes cut his teeth with hunting dogs. He was an amateur competitor in hunting and retrieving, and then got into defense contracting. ⁣
⁣
Eric talks about how bird dog hunters are light years ahead of the rest of the dog world when it comes to training. ⁣
⁣
The gents talk about Holmes’ operational training for his defense contracting, and off leash safe stand off distance with Marines and IEDS. Holmes talks about how they had 70 days to certify once procured and shaping this program. After his IED contract, Holmes stayed in defense contracting for a few more years, then made the switch back to training dogs full time. After Covid hit, he threw his hat in the law enforcement arena working in the jail, then special assignment moving prisoners and high risk transports. From there, they got a grant approval to start a K9 program in the detention center. He started from the ground up creating the dog program with the center. The guys talk about the fentanyl problem and the “do we / don’t we” problem. The guys then get into the science piece.  They talk about how more teachers have Dr. in front of their names, how it has gotten more science based, and how they feel like the science should back up what they are saying. When science and art mix, it gets a little funky at times. This is an important conversation for everyone to listen to and see how science fits into what you are doing as a handler.

Episode 202: Detection Deep Dive with Darren (DJ) Holmes⁣

This is our third episode from our HITS K9 conference series. Speaking of HITS, they will be returning August 26-29, 2024 at the HYATT REGENCY in New Orleans, LA. Get your tickets to this conference early!⁣  hitsk9.net⁣ ⁣
⁣
You guys ask us all the time when are we going to have more female handlers on, and we are joined by our second female handler from the HITS K9 conference, Sarah Carver. ⁣
⁣
Carver joined the United States Navy right out of high school from Cheyenne, Wyoming. She wanted to join K9 since she started, and everyone told her that was never going to happen. ⁣She was persistent, spent her off time volunteering in the kennel, making connections, and not taking “No” as her final answer. Three years in, and she finally got what she was working so hard for. Carver spent the next five years as a Military Law Enforcement Officer and Military Working Dog Handler.⁣

⁣Carver’s experience includes handling dual purpose bomb dogs, single purpose narcotics dogs, K9 training, and K9 veterinary care.⁣ She shares stories about her first two dogs (both of whom were 12 years old, and could care less about her), her first green dog (a dog that shouldn’t have been working, but it taught her a lot!), a scrappy little Jack Russel Terrier (and why she feels obedience is still important, even for the little guys! The JRT made such an impression on her, he ended up being her favorite to work), and a dog who earned the title of this episode

Carver also discusses her path into K9 after her time in the Navy as well, including an internship with Brad at Pacesetter K9⁣. Lots of great stories and lessons in this episode, be sure to check it out!! Follow her at @Sarah.carver95 on instagram

@hits_k9 Training &amp; Conference ⁣August 15-18th 2023 Phoenix

Episode 201: Humping HHogan with Sarah Carver

This is our second episode from our HITS K9 conference series. Speaking of HITS, they will be returning August 26-29, 2024 at the HYATT REGENCY in New Orleans, LA. Get your tickets to this conference early!⁣ ⁣ hitsk9.net⁣ ⁣
Eric also talks about his E-collar Without Conflict class; he has seminars coming up and you don’t want to miss them! ⁣
⁣
You guys ask us all the time when are we going to have more female handlers on, we are happy to have sat down with Laura Griffith, Co-Owner of Pacific Coast K9 for our 200th EPISODE!
⁣
Griffith started her career in 1991 as a Canadian customs officer. After 8 years, she passed up a supervisor position to become a K9 handler in 1999. She was told she was ruining her career and that she would never get anywhere in K9. Look at her NOW! Griffith talks about being a female in law enforcement, you have to shoot 5 times better and run your dog better to be taken seriously as a female in law enforcement.  ⁣
⁣
Since Griffith had dual citizenship and was sick of the politics, she applied to the U.S. Customs and Border, and was hired on as an officer. After 6 years, she then applied for a position as a Marine Interdiction Agent. She was 1 of 2 females, out of 300 agents across the U.S. She conducted operations via various vessels and aircraft in the San Juan Islands, WA.⁣
⁣
Griffith then started her own company with her husband, Ken Pavlick, in 2003.  (You may recognize Pavlick’s name from the working dog world and Episode 27.) Together, they formed Pacific Coast K9, where they offer an intangible that most other canine training facilities cannot – EXPERIENCE! The staff of Pacific Coast K9 possess over 50 years of operational experience with handling the types of canines they train and sell. At Pacific Coast K9, their experience includes:⁣
Patrol⁣
Explosive Detection⁣
Narcotic Detection⁣
Cadaver Detection⁣
Tactical Deployment (S.W.A.T.)⁣

While there are many choices in canine training facilities, few can offer the training based on real world experience provided by Pacific Coast K9.⁣

Episode 199: K9 Cases with Ted Daus⁣

Your Working Dog Radio Hosts, Eric @vanessk9 &amp; Ted @ted_summers, sit down with Corporal Daniel Allen. ⁣
⁣
This guest’s story is chilling… If you remember the post we did for the American Aluminum kennel in the back of a police vehicle that was shot with 17 rounds from an AK-47, this is the officer and K9 involved. Do us a favor, and hug your loved ones a little tighter today after listening to this close call.⁣
⁣
Corporal Daniel Allen always wanted to become a police officer; he graduated high school in 2008, and did one year of college before starting his law enforcement career in 2018. He has been serving for 5 years, and has an abundance of training, along with a few accolades, including 2 Life Saver Awards, SWAT Operator, and K9 Handler.⁣
⁣
The incident we mentioned occurred May 5th, 2023. Corporal Allen was shot in the hip by a suspect with a AK-47 as he was exiting his patrol vehicle, and his partner, K9 Halligan was shot several times through the vehicle. Corporal Allen had to undergo surgery to repair his shattered hip on the left side, and K9 Halligan had to have surgery to remove shrapnel and repair organs. Doctors had to place multiple screws and wires in Corporal Allen’s hip so that he would be able to walk again, which he counts as a blessing because it was only one centimeter away from paralyzing him on the left side. Both handler and K9 are recovering well, but still have a long road ahead of them. He has a constant reminder of the incident, the bullet is still lodged in his upper thigh. He plans to return to the Oxford Police Department once he is fully healed. Through it all, Corporal Allen has his head up, and will not be defeated. Corporal Allen knows the dangers of being a police officer and is still willing to get in the fight for the community. Due to the incident, there are now talks of a Purple Heart being awarded to Corporal Allen for the courageous act of putting his life on the line for the citizens of Oxford, and standing on the oath he swore to once he became an officer.⁣

Episode 195:⁣ ⁣ British Invasion with Eloise Yeomans

Your Working Dog Radio hosts, Eric @vanessk9 & Ted @ted_summers, sit down with⁣ founder and CEO of Street Cop Training, Dennis Benigno. ⁣
⁣
The gents get into Benigno’s history (seriously, the guy has multiple awards including but not limited to Lifesaving, Meritorious Service, Mayor’s Award for Excellence in Public Service, Several Letters of Recognition, Leadership awards, and Certificates of Appreciation from several law enforcement organizations) as well as the how & why Street Cop Training got started. ⁣
⁣
They also hit on several other important topics/rants:⁣
-Eric’s favorite: how Administration making decisions are often out of touch⁣
-Ted’s favorite: case law⁣
-Everyone’s favorite: moose knuckles ⁣
⁣
⁣Benigno first got into law enforcement at the age of 19 as a NJ Corrections Officer. Three years later, Benigno became a police officer with the US Park Police Dept. in Washington, DC, and in 2005 moved over to the position of a police officer in one of NJ’s largest municipalities. As a police officer, Benigno has affected over 1,500 arrests and has conducted well over 10,000 motor vehicle stops.⁣
⁣
In 2012, Benigno founded Street Cop Training and began formal police instruction for actual police tactics that work and save lives; their top priority is to not die, and save lives. It is now one of the fastest-growing LEO education companies in the country, and partners with several non-profits and works to provide no-cost support to several families and members of the law enforcement community.⁣

Your Working Dog Radio hosts, Eric @vanessk9 & Ted @ted_summers, sit down with⁣ Grassroots K9 owner, and repeat guest, Michael Nezbeth.
⁣

⁣
The gents dive into drive capping and what it means to Nezbeth, as well as his thoughts on capping the bark. They chat about being at and under threshold and give examples⁣, and get into problem solving failed engagement.

Episode 192:⁣ ⁣ Problem solving with Grassroots K9 Michael Nezbeth

Your Working Dog Radio hosts, Eric @vanessk9 &amp; Ted @ted_summers, sit down with⁣ Sergeant Kenny Williams. ⁣
⁣
This is our third episode from our Hold the Line Conference Series, and just like our previous guest, Instructor Sgt. Kenny Williams instructs with Street Cop Training. Williams is one of the country’s leading experts in criminal vehicle interdiction. Additionally, he is a fully certified EPIC and DIAP instructor. Williams began his career in 2007, and currently works as a full-time K9 interdiction officer. Over his career, he has worked with 2 single purpose dogs, and has been personally responsible for the seizure of over 6 million dollars in cash, several hundred pounds of illicit narcotics, and well over a ton of marijuana. Williams has received countless awards for his work from numerous organizations and has established a national reputation.⁣
⁣
He was teaching his Interdiction Mastermind class at the Hold the Line K9 conference. His course was intended to give police officers a clear understanding of what it means to be an effective criminal interdiction officer. Williams broke down, piece by piece, the tactics and mindset utilized by proactive police officers. He covered the importance of vehicle selection for a pre-textual stop, and went through how and why he chooses specific vehicles. Having this knowledge can save countless hours of trial and error. His course, “Interdiction Mastermind,” also covered why criminals join criminal enterprises, common drug routes, body language, deceptive behavior, and common-sense approaches to understanding reasonable suspicion. If you didn’t get a chance to catch him at Hold the Line, you’ll want to be sure to pick up some tips from this episode!! Follow him at @red_ninja111

Episode 191:⁣ Interdiction Mastermind with Kenny Williams ⁣

Your Working Dog Radio hosts, Eric @vanessk9 &amp; Ted @ted_summers, sit down with⁣ Joe Gionti of K9 Heroes 4 Heroes. ⁣
⁣
This is our second episode from the Hold the Line Conference Series ⁣ and we talk with Joe Gionti from K9 Heroes 4 Heroes, which is an incredible charity. When you listen to this episode, you can hear Gionti’s passion for helping those who wore the uniform get the dog they need! K9 Heroes 4 Heroes was started in January of 2021, and their mission is to to provide service dogs to veterans and first responders. They talk about Loki, who is a GSD out of Diehl Police K9 Training Center, trained as the demo dog for veterans and first responders at K9 Heroes 4 Heroes, and Loki is the face of K9H4H. The gents discuss the importance of selection and background of service and why that is extremely important. ⁣
⁣
The team at K9H4H believe that no amount of money can truly repay our veterans and first responders for what they sacrifice for our country. So, what they saw as an opportunity to help, they quickly learned was an immeasurable act. Connecting dogs with veterans and first responders has had a powerful impact on overall mental and physical well being. There&#39;s nothing quite like a bond between man and dog. ⁣
⁣
Gionti talks about their current fundraiser, the Benno 2.0 Fundraiser; a minimum of $50 get you an entry into the milestones raffle. Please head over to their website and learn more about Benno and his handler, Trent McDonald.⁣ Trent is a friend of the podcast and has been on an episode! ⁣

Episode 190:⁣ Healing is Heeling K9 Heroes 4 Heroes⁣

Your Working Dog Radio hosts, Eric @vanessk9 & Ted @ted_summers, sit down with⁣ A&E’s “America’s Top Dog” Season One contestant, military veteran, Ohio State K9 Evaluator, Vaness K9 certified K9 trainer, City of Salem, Ohio Patrolman and K9 Handler, Michael Garber.

⁣This is our first episode from the Hold the Line Conference Series ⁣and we cover Garber’s journey as a 12 year military veteran, 18 years of law enforcement experience (6 years in K9), and his experience working with Eric on his pet side with Ridgeside K9 Ohio⁣. Not only is Garber an excellent trainer, he’s an incredible FUNDRAISER, so to every K9 Unit out there, listen up! Garber managed fundraising for a  dog program, purchasing all equipment, vehicles, and dogs through fundraising; raising over $260K in donations, merchandise⁣ sales, and grants starting and sustaining the K9 program.

The sad truth is the majority of our K9 teams are not budgeted, but funded by our own fundraising and community support. Garber goes over set up, compliance, funds, 501c3’s, organizations, fundraising ideas, merchandising, community donations (how and where to get them), websites, online stores, social media, protecting the money and building better financial backing for your program. You’ll want to be sure to listen in to hear why fundraising and “friend-raising” are the best things for your program to be a success.⁣

Episode 189:⁣ Simons Handler⁣: Fundraising for K9

Your Working Dog Radio hosts, Eric @vanessk9 &amp; Ted @ted_summers, sit down with⁣ retired Australian Army soldier, current Origin K9 owner and founder, as well as fellow Podcaster, Tom Brown. @origin.k9

The gents sit down with Tom Brown and talk about his life and history working as a K9 handler. Brown was so passionate about the industry that he sold his car, and used his savings to start Origin K9, which now contributes to his former community by manufacturing tactical canine equipment. Brown also trains multi-purpose canines, explores performance, and shares experiences in the tactical canine world through his podcast, The Origin K9 Podcast. You want to be sure to check it out!!

Brown spent 12 years in the Australian Army, during which time, he deployed to the Middle East multiple times as an Infantry and Special Forces soldier as well as Domestic Counter Terrorism. Brown was a K9 handler with the Second Commando Regiment and fulfilled that role as a member of the Tactical Assault Group (East) as part of the Special Forces Domestic Counter-Terrorism capability. With his career ending abruptly in 2019 due to a mental injury, Brown wanted to find a way to stay connected to, and contribute to, the working K9 community, so Brown started Origin K9 and began manufacturing industry specific equipment. Brown also developed dual role K9s for government agencies and trained pet dogs before starting Origin K9 manufacturing in 2022.
This is where he noticed a severe lack of industry support for the K9 industry. Brown is committed to providing the best equipment possible to the K9 handlers still doing their jobs on the front line of policing or the battlefield, and sees himself and Origin K9 as a way to enhance that capability. He knows all too well the reality of operations and the struggles that can be faced by Military and Police members, and sees the struggles faced by those members still conducting operations or having transitioned out of the service. Brown started the Origin K9 podcast as a way to remain connected with the community and ensure that their voices are heard.

Episode 188:⁣ Origin K9

Your Working Dog Radio hosts, Eric @vanessk9 &amp; Ted @ted_summers, sit down with⁣ retired Mesa Police dog handler and trainer, former Southwest Regional Director for the National Police Canine Association, Arizona Law Enforcement Canine Association member, and current instructor with Paraclete K9, Scott Callendar.  Paracletek9.com

Scott Callendar found his love for working dogs as his stepfather was a police dog handler.  Callendar started attending police dog training while he was still a teenager and even assisted his stepmother with detection training. The gents hit on his background, and then quickly delve into Callendar’s extensive experiences. From Schutzhund to revolutionizing his department’s training methods, from various training classes he teaches to shaping behaviors with the ecollar and using as a communication tool, Callendar is a wealth of information! You are guaranteed to learn something from this episode!

Callendar started his career as a police officer with the City of Mesa Police Department in 1995. He served as patrol officer, part of the bicycle unit, an undercover narcotics detective for the Special Investigations Division (2001), part of the high-risk surveillance/apprehension team, working his way into SWAT (2004), and finally worked into K9 as a dog handler for the Special Operations/Tactical Team (2008). As K9, Callendar’s first dog was a “hand-me-down”, but he was able to revolutionize the way his department trained their dogs; this eventually lead to Callendar being one of two trainers for his department in 2012, and then the head trainer in 2017. Callendar retired from the police force in 2020, after over two decades of service.

During his career, Callendar developed an annual high-risk deployment seminar in Arizona, and several hundred dog teams from all over the United States have attended this seminar since its inception in 2015. In addition to his experience with the police department, Callendar has been a member of the Arizona Law Enforcement Canine Association, where he’s been on the training committee since 2011.  Callendar was also named Southwest Regional Director for the National Police Canine Association in 2015, and held this position until 2020. Callendar was also employed by K9 Training Consultants from 2015 until 2020 where he worked as a dog trainer/instructor, and helped train security dog teams for a large hospital group in Arizona. Callendar has also worked as a trainer/instructor for Paraclete K9 since 2017.

Episode 187:⁣ Paraclete K9 with Scott Callendar

Your Working Dog Radio hosts, Eric @vanessk9 & Ted @ted_summers, sit down with⁣ the host of Shots Fired podcast, Field Survival Training course instructor, and current K9 unit supervisor serving in Northern California, Police Sergeant Kyle Shoberg.

The gents covered a lot of ground in this episode, from how Shoberg first got into law enforcement at the age of 20, and his 15 years of law enforcement experience, to Shoberg being assigned to the K9 unit in 2014 (and how Shoberg was cautiously afraid of the dogs!), and his 7 years of K9 Handler experience, including working with the SWAT team (Shoberg is POST certified in SWAT & K9 Interacting During Deployment/SKIDDs).

Delving further, Shoberg has been a part of numerous critical incidents, including direct involvement in 4 officer involved shootings, over 500 K9 deployments, and over 60 K9 apprehensions. He is the recipient of several police commendations and awards, most notably two Medal of Valor's, the Distinguished Service Medal, and a Life Saving Ribbon where he was credited for saving the life of an officer who had been shot in the line of duty. Shoberg has presented to various law enforcement agencies throughout the country, as well as speaking at several law enforcement conferences regarding officer wellness and debriefing his officer involved shootings.

This is not an episode you want to miss! So be sure to sit down and learn a thing or two from our guest, and check out his podcast, Shots Fired, right after! Follow him on Instagram at @Kyle_shoberg

Episode 186:⁣ Never say NO, with Kyle Shoberg

Your Working Dog Radio hosts, Eric @vanessk9 &amp; Ted @ted_summers, sit down with⁣ Street Cop Training, All Things K9 course Instructor and Police K9 Handler, Josh Brainard.
⁣
The gents get into what it was like to get into K9 by working at one of the largest police and military kennels in the world, and then what it was like to have many different jobs there, including a supervisor position- training, handling, and decoying dogs. Josh oversaw several training programs and imprinted working dogs in narcotics, detection, and tracking. Josh also contracted as an Explosives Detection Handler at major events like Cincinnati Bengals NFL games. As a police officer, Josh is a K9 handler and is currently teamed with a dual purpose K9. Since 2017, Josh has been assigned to his department’s Criminal Interdiction Unit as a K9 Handler, as well as their Street Crimes Unit and High Risk Tracking Team. Josh and his partner have tracked and apprehended several dangerous individuals and are responsible for many significant seizures of drugs, firearms, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash. Josh has thousands of hours of K9 training and is a graduate of several renowned K9 Tactical Tracking schools as well as Advanced Scent Detection, K9 Trailing, and K9 Imprinting courses. Josh also has a resume stocked full of Criminal Interdiction training. Josh and his partner have been medalists at the American Working Dogs K9 Olympics numerous times and Josh was named Top Cop at his agency in 2017. Instructor Josh Brainard has trained hundreds of working dogs and is currently the lead K9 trainer at his police agency. Josh Brainard comes to Street Cop with significant knowledge on police working dogs and how they can enhance our missions!

As an All Things K9 Course Instructor, Josh gives current K9 handlers a fresh perspective and deeper understanding of all things K9. This class helps officers better understand how police working dogs function, and explains how to interact more efficiently alongside K9 Teams. Supervisors gain a better understanding of how to support these valuable resources and prevent liability against their units. For those police officers with aspirations to become a K9 handler, this class gives them a jump start to understand the science of the craft! Course attendees learn about K9 narcotics sniffs of vehicles, currency, parcels, buildings, and open areas. This course also explores the use of a K9 in high-risk vehicle stops, tracking, trailing and open area searches for suspects. Instructor Brainard talks about the use of perimeters for containment, as well as collecting, preserving, and presenting scent evidence as it relates to manhunts. Real deployment videos are shown to explain how suspects were located and narcotics were seized.

If you can’t attend the class, be sure to listen to this episode, it’s packed full of good training tips!!
