Dear Gregg:  "Just a short note to express
my gratitude for all the work and
commitment you gave Rory and me.   He
truly is a special animal with his own
character.  I never thought I would be
able to replace "
Chewbacca", but with
your help and dedication it appears to be
a reality instead of a dream.  Although
Rory is still very "green" I know through
our commitment and dedication, he will
evolve into what we expect from a
"d.o.g.s."  trained police dog.   Again, thank
you very much."
 -- Neal and Rory
"We just wanted to thank you
guys for the awesome service
you provide.  We absolutely
appreciate people who love
what they do, are passionate
about it, and share it with others.
 We came away with
sooooo much useful
information (again) and just
wanted to say thanks for
effecting positive change in the
Brown household. "
"Dogs are not
our whole life,
but they make
our lives whole."

"Hi Gregg and Charis, I just wanted to drop you a
note about how "Kane" is doing. On Friday 3/11, he
certified for Narc. Detection.  I think he is going to
be one of those rare dogs that is great at both
Patrol and Detection. As he matures, he just keeps
getting stronger. Thanks again for the outstanding
puppy, I  couldn't ask for a better dog, his
temperament is great (he doesn't even flinch if my
2 year old son, steps, climbs or occasionally
"whacks" him). I may be transferring in the near
future. I hope to someday bring "Kane" by to show
off...:))))))))" --

Thank you for visiting our site...  We have over eighteen years of training
experience with pets, companion dogs, and working dogs such as sport
and police dogs - from large to small and everything in between.  Our
motivation to work in this field was inspired by our love for dogs and our
continuing amazement of what dogs are capable of learning.  We assist
in the development of the relationship between handler and their canine
partner, as well as the family and their devoted pet.

We currently offer
private obedience and behavior modification in Folsom
and El Dorado Hills, as well as the development and maintenance
training of police dogs.  We are currently the trainers for seven law
enforcement agencies in Northern California.

We are an active member of The Western States Police Canine Assoc.,
The California Narcotics Canine Assoc., and the APDT (The Association
of Pet Dog Trainers).

Gregg is a certified California POST K-9 team evaluator and has certified
numerous patrol and narcotics K-9  teams.

Gregg & Charis,
I just wanted to thank you guys for
all the help and support with
"Dexter" this year.  I know when I
first got "Dexter" we were all a little
worried if he would even make it,
but with the encouragement and
support of you guys, we ended up
with a award winning dog. The
success with "Dexter" is also seen
from other handlers that have been
working dogs for several years and
you guys should feel proud of the
accomplishments he's made.  Again
this wouldn't be possible if it weren't
for the two of you.  It has really
shown how well a D.O.G.S. dog has
been trained.

Thank You So Much,
Mike and Dexter
