A Commitment to You

One of the greatest assets for working dog handlers who are providing services to support and protect our communities is having an operational canine that is working to its fullest potential.    

From patrol and narcotics detection work to searching for human remains and explosives, these dogs provide essential services that cannot be replicated by any human or machine. Because of this, it’s imperative that our working canines maintain peak physical condition and are always fit for duty so that they can assist us in saving and protecting lives when we need them most.    

Because of the essential work that these dogs provide, I am fully committed to assisting both you and your canine partner in reaching your fullest working potential.
