| K-9 Bootcamp |
| Where we make "Bad" dogs "Good" and "Good" dogs "Better". |
| OUR PHILOSOPHY The development of the master-canine relationship is vital to any family environment. It allows your dog to be comfortable and content and helps you to maintain order in your household no matter the size or energy level of your companion. The training of your pet is a very personal undertaking and should be customized to your dog's individual personality and your family's wants and needs. At K-9 Bootcamp we believe in utilizing training techniques and reinforcements that are natural to the canine world. We utilize your dog's instincts and drives to reshape bad behaviors into appropriate responses. Dogs do not communicate in the same manner that humans do - we are here to teach you how to bridge the communication gap. |
| OUR LOCATION Our location is one of the many things that makes us unique. Our boarding and training programs are conducted from our home. We have a large family of seven children ranging in ages from 11 months to 16 years old. As a family, we all work with our trainees to ensure transference of all knowledge learned at K-9 Bootcamp. It is our belief that in order to train dogs in proper house manners they should be in a home environment. Through daily disciplined interaction with our family your dog will learn to be a loving, well-mannered, obedient member of your family. Our home is located in Frisco, Texas. |

I have worked with all branches of the military, FBI, ATF, ICE, TSA, Secret Service, and the Department of Homeland Security. |
| TRAINING I was trained by the U.S. Air Force and the Department of Defense in the largest, most advanced military and police dog training facility in the world. I was a supervisor for the training of military police canines in the areas of Basic and Advanced Obedience with verbal and non-verbal (hand) commands, obstacles and agility, building search and scouting, controlled aggression techniques, gunfire tolerance, as well as the detection of narcotics and explosives. I have extensive experience in behavior modification and the principles of conditioning utilized in K-9 training.
