3 handlers started a journey with me, reinforcing and relearning the ways of a handler. It takes grit, grind, and elements of fire to want to be successful. Thunderstorms, blizzards, heatwaves - frozen fields, flooded fields, club splits, location changes, even life, ain't stopped nobody from reaching the first of many goals. I have the only sanctioned protection dog sport club in the city of Detroit, A.P.P.D.A. (2 certified Decoys & 2 dogs with Entry Levels) & W.D.A. (4 dogs with Fo/P1). We train to test the work on all levels in all arenas. This time it was W.D.A..
with SAPPER. Been to war and back. Changing a lifestyle to match the purpose and reaping the benefits. Took the dog you had to his peak and helped him find his power at the top. Watching you grow from a great pet trainer to a now titled dog handler, I salute you proudly for overcoming all the obstacles in development to be in the rankings. Congratulations, Sir!
with Mahko - 8/9 months ago, you said you wanted more for your dog because you know he can do more. He had exactly what you thought within him, and when it got extremely disappointing some days from bad habits and false hopes, where most would quit, but to watch you let him be stronger and trust my process and watched you all adapt to power and clarity to be right here where they said you couldn't. Bravo! Congratulations!
with Eazy. A new dog with everything included as a new handler learning everything you need to handle that level of dog, and watch you merge seamlessly with a dog many said wasn't. Many said no. Many said he wasn't enough. Just the dog you need to push you into the handler you seek to become. Congratulations! & LAST BUT NEVER EVER GOING TO GIVE HIS LEASE CASPER. I told you when I saw him, he wasn't a bitch; nobody ever showed him what to do, so he didn't know what to do. Lifestyle change, routine altered, training ways dropped, and a true handler was born. They can fake celebrate your success as the same ones that told you to quit. But everyone can't take away the work you put in time after time. Congratulations! I celebrate you all because I know I push you all to limits in tr
