When looking to become a K9 handler are you looking for a title? Or to better the profession? If the answer is the 2nd one then the first step is to drop your ego! It's ok to have pride in what you love and do but ego will ruin every new opportunity to learn and excel in the field. Just because a trainer you went to does it this way or so and so does it that way doesn't mean those are the only ways, the right ways, or the wrong ways! I always say, if I have 12 dogs trained by 12 different trainers and all 12 dogs do their job and find odor, tracks a missing person, or apprehend a suspect then who cares how they are trained. Stay humble, stay hungry, stay motivated and stay safe out there!
