“Hey Gary, quick update for you. We’ve had another good week this week. Monday night we hit a pretty good marihuana lick. All in all 2.2 ounces with one bag being an once and a second bag having 54 individually packed bags. Tuesday night we responded to a house party and smelled marijuana when approached the front door and did a search of the interior of the house and Mali found about 30 marijuana plants in a little grow box in the closet of one of the bedrooms and a bunch of pipes and bongs. Saturday night he made me the proudest though, on a traffic stop he alerted a car and we found one small thumb bag with about 40 dollars of cocaine that the driver had stuck inside a Coca Cola can in the center console. On the first of July Mali and I got called out by the U.S. Marshals because they had a robbery suspect hemmed up here and town that they had chased into the woods. It wound up turning into a shootout and no officers were injured but the suspect got popped. We’re about to have a big roundup and execute several search warrants on a bunch of our dealers so hopefully we’ll have some more good news for you soon.”

“Top notch! This training goes a little beyond the “Basic” handler course. Very knowledgeable instructors. Great training!
Tracking: Amazing to be behind a dog and putting that much trust in him, that he knows where the good and bad guy have gone and lead you right to them.
Patrol/Bite work: Different. A lot more than expected. It takes a lot of hours to get this right. Not for the dog, for the handler. Very intense.
Drug detection: When I realized I needed to stop competing with Unix, looking for the dog, it started going well. Everyone kept on saying: Watch your dog! I spent a lot of time trying to beat him to it.”
Scottie Belue and K-9 Unix

"This training is great. A great family oriented atmosphere and Gary and Terry are very good trainers. I learned a lot and really enjoyed tracking and area searches. I can’t wait to come back for more training with my dog Glock."

"Received an Intense 5 weeks of training on certification with Janto. Being a previous handler with aggressive alert K9’s in the past it was a big change for me. Janto is an AWESOME day and Gary has done an excellent job in training him. With Tracking I was one of the skeptics on a lab as a tracker but, I was impressed on how far Janto has come along on trackings and area searches. We have a couple of kinks to work out but that is something that will improve with time and working him in the area that I’ll be in. I believe this was the most intense part but I know I can go longer distances and not breath so hard now on a track. With drug detection I can’t even put in words how good of a drug detection dog Janto is. You have put out an excellent K9 that I can’t wait to go back home and get to work on the streets. This was probably the most concise part of the course in my case because Janto is such a good drug detection dog. Overall an AWESOME dog!!! Couldn’t have made a better choice myself."

"Gary, I am good thank you. Still in Iraq. Will be done in November. Still a K-9 handler with Peggy. She is in excellent condition now. I still want to thank you for the training that December, 2004. I compare your training with all the new guys from Ken from the K-9 school and I must say they don't get close to your training program. I have attached one of the latest photos of Peggy Sue, and I believe she can't wait to retire in Nov. She's been here a good while. All of the best. I'll be in touch again."
