My name is Ryan. I spent 14 years in law enforcement as a police officer in the Bay Area of California. During these 14 years I was in the K-9 Unit as a dog handler. I worked with my German Shepherd K-9 partner “Chopper”. Chopper was more than my partner, he was my best friend. Chopper never let me down and always caught the bad guys.

During my time in the K-9 Unit I worked with and trained a large variety of dogs. From German Shepherds, Malinois and Dutch shepherds. Chopper was both trained in apprehension and drug detection. The base of this training was obedience. As you can imagine in this high stress/high stakes job, obedience was paramount.

Unfortunately, mine and Chopper’s career was cut short after working 7 years together protecting our community. I was injured on the job and wasn’t able to return to full duty. Now my mission is to continue to help my community by providing high quality dog training in a world full of less than quality dog training.
