Episodes

  • Your Working Dog Radio hosts, Eric @vanessk9 & Ted @ted_summers, sit down with⁣ returning guest, KD Mathews @kdmathews, for a 2 hour long jam packed episode of all things dog and balance!

    In this episode, the gents discuss Mathews’ retirement from decoy work and his passion for jiu-jitsu (stay tuned for a BJJ-related update from Eric!). They then delve into the importance of relationships in dog training and how it affects behavior, the concept of ritualistic behavior and its role in training and leadership, (and they even get into the concept of alpha dominance and its misunderstood nature). The significance of reading the dog and recognizing their temperament is discussed.

    The conversation also touches on the importance of establishing functional relationships and boundaries with dogs. The misconceptions surrounding food training and the projection of human emotions onto dogs are addressed. The gents emphasize the importance of focusing on more identifiable emotions such as arousal, fear, anxiety, and distress. The discussion also delves into the role of the owner's feelings and how they can impact the dog's behavior. The concept of love in dog-owner relationships is explored, highlighting the selfless endeavor of caring for another being. The chat concludes with the transition to online dog training and the benefits it offers: different ways trainers can interact with clients, live coaching calls, and feedback. They also discuss the limitations of online training, particularly when it comes to addressing aggression.

    The conversation shifts to the challenges trainers face and the importance of sharing mistakes and learning from experience. They also touch on the importance of balancing life as a dog trainer and the need for trainers to take care of themselves. Finally, Eric introduces his new venture, the Tap Daddy BJJ clothing line.⁣

  • Do you live in a state where marijuana is still illegal? If yes, you NEED to listen to this episode. ⁣

    Disclaimer: They want us to let all of you know that this study will come out after it is peer reviewed the 23rd of February.⁣

    Episode 207:⁣ Scientifically Speaking, Hemp VS Marijuana⁣
    Your Working Dog Radio hosts, Eric @vanessk9 & Ted @ted_summers, sit down with⁣ Steven Antommarchi of @nextlevelk9texas⁣ about a huge K9 study that aimed to see if marijuana trained dogs would hit on hemp (spoiler alert: yes!) The gents also delve a bit into the mitigation piece of the research as well, so don’t panic! You’ll want to listen to the episode NOW, and then get your paws on the study after it’s peer review later this month.⁣
    ⁣ ⁣
    Over the last 15 years, Antommarchi has held the law enforcement titles of Patrol Officer, Canine Handler, Canine Supervisor, Canine Trainer and Interim Chief of Police.⁣

    His first encounter with a K9 team was in New York City on September 11, 2001. He witnessed a SAR team fighting through horrible conditions, while overcoming serious injury for the sake of saving lives. That encounter made such a profound impression on him that he knew what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. 15 years later, on July 7, 2016, in Dallas, Texas, K9 Officer Antommarchi found himself in the middle of the deadliest attack on law enforcement since 9/11. Tasked with the responsibility of clearing the downtown area for improvised explosive devices, the reason he got into working K9s came full circle.⁣

    Being mentored by Tony Guzman and Robert “Bob” Suarez, Antommarchi is the Founder of Next Level K9 Texas, an Instructor for the Texas School Safety Center at Texas State University and K9 case study trainer for the Global Forensic Justice Center at Florida International University.⁣

    Most recently, he became one of the lead trainers and co-designer of the training methodology for a scientific study on “Hemp vs Marijuana.” This study is to evaluate the ability for narcotic detector dogs to discriminate between the odor of marijuana and hemp. The study is being headed by Dr. Kelvin Frank of Florida International University and is in the process of being submitted for publication.⁣

  • If weed is legalized, do you get rid of your K9 that was imprinted on it? ⁣

    Your hosts sit down and talk about everything marijuana! This is a really important episode to sit down and listen to. Ted and Eric talk about the whole “un-imprinting” thing people are trying to do in relation to marijuana. They talk about court cases, share examples, and talk about states that are either making marijuana legal, medical, and/or recreational, like Ohio recently did. They talk about how that affects the training of the dogs, and what you should do if you’re caught in a similar situation!⁣

  • Your Working Dog Radio hosts sit down with second time guest, Benito Olson. (Olson previously joined us for Episode 11- Master at Arms Benito Olson, and gave us an inside look at the event that should have killed him, so be sure to give that a re-listen!). In this episode, the gents chat about Olson’s upbringing, a divided home, a father in prison, and being an “underdog”. They delve into his military history, Operation Iraqi Freedom, the detonation that critically wounded him, while burying him, his teammates, and his dog. They also discussed overcoming the odds, recovering from his injuries, joining a Joint Task Force to support Operation Enduring Freedom, and his multiple deployments to Afghanistan. ⁣

    His military career gave him the opportunity to work with some of the country’s finest trainers after being recruited to train dogs for Navy SEAL teams. After being Medically Retired from the Navy (and heavily decorated for his service), Olson started his own dog training business, Patriot Dog Training. ⁣

    Most recently, Olson published a new book titled “The Underdogs: Conquering Life with Man's Best Friend and SEAL Team”. A book synopsis states “Olson’s story promises a raw insight into the human spirit and a roadmap for how perseverance and brotherhood can help you climb the most insurmountable mountain.” So after you’ve finished this episode, get your paws on a copy of his book, you won’t be disappointed. ⁣

    Preorder his book at this link or on Amazon - https://ballastbooks.com/purchase/the-underdogs/⁣

  • This is our fifth episode from our HITS K9 conference series. Speaking of HITS, they will be returning August 26-29, 2024 at the HYATT REGENCY in New Orleans, LA. Get your tickets to this conference early!⁣ hitsk9.net⁣

    The gents chat with Brad Gillespie about teaching two different tracking classes at the HITS K9 Conference. In this episode, we get heavy into tracking, and Gillespie’s extensive experience.

    Gillespie has been handling and training Police and Military Working Dogs for over 20 years. He has hundreds of operational K9 tracking apprehensions, and is currently a trainer for the second largest K9 program in Canada where he specializes in tactical integration of K9 teams and explosive detection.

    Gillespie was previously the Ontario director of the CPCA for three years. He began his K9 career with the Winnipeg Police Service and then spent some time with the military before becoming a K9 trainer for the Ontario Provincial Police.

    Gillespie currently handles a single purpose Explosive Detection Dog as well as a General Service Dog. He is a director for the Canadian Police Canine Association and also supports training through Full Spectrum K9 International (a non-profit organization) where he emphasizes training development of the dog, the handler and the team.

    Gillespie’s combined Military and Police experience afford him a perspective that facilitates the development and employment of area of operation, principle based tactics. This is another information-packed episode that you do NOT want to miss!

  • This is our fourth episode from our HITS K9 conference series. Speaking of HITS, they will be returning August 26-29, 2024 at the HYATT REGENCY in New Orleans, LA. Get your tickets to this conference early!⁣ hitsk9.net⁣

    Darren DJ Holmes wants to know the “What am I doing”. That he could be doing better, the why, and the how when it comes to detection based training. ⁣

    Holmes cut his teeth with hunting dogs. He was an amateur competitor in hunting and retrieving, and then got into defense contracting. ⁣

    Eric talks about how bird dog hunters are light years ahead of the rest of the dog world when it comes to training. ⁣

    The gents talk about Holmes’ operational training for his defense contracting, and off leash safe stand off distance with Marines and IEDS. Holmes talks about how they had 70 days to certify once procured and shaping this program. After his IED contract, Holmes stayed in defense contracting for a few more years, then made the switch back to training dogs full time. After Covid hit, he threw his hat in the law enforcement arena working in the jail, then special assignment moving prisoners and high risk transports. From there, they got a grant approval to start a K9 program in the detention center. He started from the ground up creating the dog program with the center. The guys talk about the fentanyl problem and the “do we / don’t we” problem. The guys then get into the science piece.  They talk about how more teachers have Dr. in front of their names, how it has gotten more science based, and how they feel like the science should back up what they are saying. When science and art mix, it gets a little funky at times. This is an important conversation for everyone to listen to and see how science fits into what you are doing as a handler.

  • This is our third episode from our HITS K9 conference series. Speaking of HITS, they will be returning August 26-29, 2024 at the HYATT REGENCY in New Orleans, LA. Get your tickets to this conference early!⁣ hitsk9.net⁣ ⁣

    You guys ask us all the time when are we going to have more female handlers on, and we are joined by our second female handler from the HITS K9 conference, Sarah Carver. ⁣

    Carver joined the United States Navy right out of high school from Cheyenne, Wyoming. She wanted to join K9 since she started, and everyone told her that was never going to happen. ⁣She was persistent, spent her off time volunteering in the kennel, making connections, and not taking “No” as her final answer. Three years in, and she finally got what she was working so hard for. Carver spent the next five years as a Military Law Enforcement Officer and Military Working Dog Handler.⁣

    ⁣Carver’s experience includes handling dual purpose bomb dogs, single purpose narcotics dogs, K9 training, and K9 veterinary care.⁣ She shares stories about her first two dogs (both of whom were 12 years old, and could care less about her), her first green dog (a dog that shouldn’t have been working, but it taught her a lot!), a scrappy little Jack Russel Terrier (and why she feels obedience is still important, even for the little guys! The JRT made such an impression on her, he ended up being her favorite to work), and a dog who earned the title of this episode

    Carver also discusses her path into K9 after her time in the Navy as well, including an internship with Brad at Pacesetter K9⁣. Lots of great stories and lessons in this episode, be sure to check it out!! Follow her at @Sarah.carver95 on instagram

After 8 years, she passed up a supervisor position to become a K9 handler in 1999. She was told she was ruining her career and that she would never get anywhere in K9. Look at her NOW! Griffith talks about being a female in law enforcement, you have to shoot 5 times better and run your dog better to be taken seriously as a female in law enforcement. ⁣⁣Since Griffith had dual citizenship and was sick of the politics, she applied to the U.S. Customs and Border, and was hired on as an officer. After 6 years, she then applied for a position as a Marine Interdiction Agent. She was 1 of 2 females, out of 300 agents across the U.S. She conducted operations via various vessels and aircraft in the San Juan Islands, WA.⁣⁣Griffith then started her own company with her husband, Ken Pavlick, in 2003. (You may recognize Pavlick’s name from the working dog world and Episode 27.) Together, they formed Pacific Coast K9, where they offer an intangible that most other canine training facilities cannot – EXPERIENCE! The staff of Pacific Coast K9 possess over 50 years of operational experience with handling the types of canines they train and sell. At Pacific Coast K9, their experience includes:⁣Patrol⁣Explosive Detection⁣Narcotic Detection⁣Cadaver Detection⁣Tactical Deployment (S.W.A.T.)⁣While there are many choices in canine training facilities, few can offer the training based on real world experience provided by Pacific Coast K9.⁣⁣Check them out at https://www.pacificcoastk9.com/Join us on our member platform through our youtube channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8D9WOH6ny8eoiTCxFNpBtQ/join𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗢𝗙 𝗖𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗦𝗘, thank you to our amazing partners:⁣@rexspecsk920% off your first order with code workingdogradio@KineticDogFood⁣kineticdogfood.com⁣⁣Highland Canine Training Online Police K9 Supervisor course⁣This course discusses topics such as proper selection of dogs & handlers, proper deployment, effective allocation and utilization as well as liability and FLSA issues.

  • Your Working Dog Radio Hosts, Eric @vanessk9 & Ted @ted_summers, sit down with Corporal Daniel Allen. ⁣⁣This guest’s story is chilling… If you remember the post we did for the American Aluminum kennel in the back of a police vehicle that was shot with 17 rounds from an AK-47, this is the officer and K9 involved. Do us a favor, and hug your loved ones a little tighter today after listening to this close call.⁣⁣Corporal Daniel Allen always wanted to become a police officer; he graduated high school in 2008, and did one year of college before starting his law enforcement career in 2018. He has been serving for 5 years, and has an abundance of training, along with a few accolades, including 2 Life Saver Awards, SWAT Operator, and K9 Handler.⁣⁣The incident we mentioned occurred May 5th, 2023. Corporal Allen was shot in the hip by a suspect with a AK-47 as he was exiting his patrol vehicle, and his partner, K9 Halligan was shot several times through the vehicle. Corporal Allen had to undergo surgery to repair his shattered hip on the left side, and K9 Halligan had to have surgery to remove shrapnel and repair organs. Doctors had to place multiple screws and wires in Corporal Allen’s hip so that he would be able to walk again, which he counts as a blessing because it was only one centimeter away from paralyzing him on the left side. Both handler and K9 are recovering well, but still have a long road ahead of them. He has a constant reminder of the incident, the bullet is still lodged in his upper thigh. He plans to return to the Oxford Police Department once he is fully healed. Through it all, Corporal Allen has his head up, and will not be defeated. Corporal Allen knows the dangers of being a police officer and is still willing to get in the fight for the community. Due to the incident, there are now talks of a Purple Heart being awarded to Corporal Allen for the courageous act of putting his life on the line for the citizens of Oxford, and standing on the oath he swore to once he became an officer.⁣⁣To help with the costs of surgeries for officer and K9, donate to his Go Fund Me:⁣https://gofund.me/04d753b8Join us on our member platform through our youtube channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8D9WOH6ny8eoiTCxFNpBtQ/join𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗢𝗙 𝗖𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗦𝗘, thank you to our amazing partners:⁣@rexspecsk920% off your first order with code workingdogradio@KineticDogFood⁣kineticdogfood.com⁣⁣Highland Canine Training Online Police K9 Supervisor course⁣This course discusses topics such as proper selection of dogs & handlers, proper deployment, effective allocation and utilization as well as liability and FLSA issues.

    This is our last episode from our Hold the Line Conference Series! The gents dive into muzzle work and how to start muzzle fighting, mistakes people make, what they need to be watching for when doing muzzle work. Ted mentions how muzzle work is the hardest work as a decoy. ⁣

  • Your Working Dog Radio hosts, Eric @vanessk9 & Ted @ted_summers, sit down with⁣ Sergeant Kenny Williams. ⁣

    This is our third episode from our Hold the Line Conference Series, and just like our previous guest, Instructor Sgt. Kenny Williams instructs with Street Cop Training. Williams is one of the country’s leading experts in criminal vehicle interdiction. Additionally, he is a fully certified EPIC and DIAP instructor. Williams began his career in 2007, and currently works as a full-time K9 interdiction officer. Over his career, he has worked with 2 single purpose dogs, and has been personally responsible for the seizure of over 6 million dollars in cash, several hundred pounds of illicit narcotics, and well over a ton of marijuana. Williams has received countless awards for his work from numerous organizations and has established a national reputation.⁣

    He was teaching his Interdiction Mastermind class at the Hold the Line K9 conference. His course was intended to give police officers a clear understanding of what it means to be an effective criminal interdiction officer. Williams broke down, piece by piece, the tactics and mindset utilized by proactive police officers. He covered the importance of vehicle selection for a pre-textual stop, and went through how and why he chooses specific vehicles. Having this knowledge can save countless hours of trial and error. His course, “Interdiction Mastermind,” also covered why criminals join criminal enterprises, common drug routes, body language, deceptive behavior, and common-sense approaches to understanding reasonable suspicion. If you didn’t get a chance to catch him at Hold the Line, you’ll want to be sure to pick up some tips from this episode!! Follow him at @red_ninja111

  • Your Working Dog Radio hosts, Eric @vanessk9 & Ted @ted_summers, sit down with⁣ Joe Gionti of K9 Heroes 4 Heroes. ⁣⁣This is our second episode from the Hold the Line Conference Series ⁣ and we talk with Joe Gionti from K9 Heroes 4 Heroes, which is an incredible charity. When you listen to this episode, you can hear Gionti’s passion for helping those who wore the uniform get the dog they need! K9 Heroes 4 Heroes was started in January of 2021, and their mission is to to provide service dogs to veterans and first responders. They talk about Loki, who is a GSD out of Diehl Police K9 Training Center, trained as the demo dog for veterans and first responders at K9 Heroes 4 Heroes, and Loki is the face of K9H4H. The gents discuss the importance of selection and background of service and why that is extremely important. ⁣⁣The team at K9H4H believe that no amount of money can truly repay our veterans and first responders for what they sacrifice for our country. So, what they saw as an opportunity to help, they quickly learned was an immeasurable act. Connecting dogs with veterans and first responders has had a powerful impact on overall mental and physical well being. There's nothing quite like a bond between man and dog. ⁣⁣Gionti talks about their current fundraiser, the Benno 2.0 Fundraiser; a minimum of $50 get you an entry into the milestones raffle.
