Who trains your dog

Your dog is trained by a working police K-9 instructor

Chad Walker has spent two decades in law enforcement and more than thirteen years training police K-9s. That is not a marketing line — it is the job he does when he is not working with your dog.

  • 20 years in law enforcement
  • 13+ years training police K-9s
  • FDLE Certified Canine Instructor
  • Lead K-9 trainer for his agency’s unit

Owner and Head Trainer

I have been in Law Enforcement for 20 years and have been working and training with Police K-9’s for over 13 years.

Currently, I am a certified FDLE Canine Instructor. At my police agency, I am the lead K9 trainer for the unit.

The goal for me is to build a strong foundational obedience with your dog. This is done through balanced training techniques.

Training dogs is a passion and I want to see each and every one of them improve along with their owner.

I want to use my knowledge and experience to help others build a safe and stress free relationship with their dogs.

Trainer and Care

I recently left teaching to help pursue our passion, and our love for training dogs. I was an Elementary teacher for over 15 years.

It is so rewarding to see dogs from the start of our program to the end.

Chad gets to do all the hard work and I get to do the fun work (loving, playing and taking care of the dogs). LOL!

Dogs are truly the best, and I personally love watching them grow into the best version of themselves they can be!
