Hi there!

My name is Taylor I am a certified professional dog trainer but i still want to keep learning! I am interested in learning about border patrol dogs, and police dogs, and all types of service dogs. I was wondering if there is any type of shadowing job?

Thanks,
Tay

Jason – you’re a blast from the past! I’ve forwarded off your e-mail address and sent a note myself.

Rich – I’ve taken a look at the website you mentioned. There are quite a few good articles in there.

Ian – the Stanley Park Stables is a hit with everyone who comes to visit, and I’m glad you were able to be shown around. We love it when our brothers and sisters from across the pond come out for the night. As for the Canucks? So far they are up 3 wins with the 4th game tonight. GO CANUCKS!

Afternoon Sandra ( from a warm sunny UK ).
Often visit the VPD site just to see what is going on. Spent an enjoyable time in Vancouver, some years ago, and shown around by Cst. Doug Knight ( whom I have not heard from for some time).Hope all goes well with the Lads & Lassies of VPD, especially my friends at the Stanley Park Stables. Still have a splendid framed display of VPD patches in my office.
By the way, how did the Canucks do ??, remember well the crowds in Robson, back in 2004.
Will keep reading “Behind the Blue Line”

Hey Sandra…here’s one of Sgt. Bob Cooper (rtd.) columns that you can find at primetimecrime.com. You can find more articles written by Bob in the Contributing Authors section 2008 or 2009. Enjoy

Sandra!

How the hell are you??? I was surfing vancouver police blogs…actually trying to find any info on my old buddy Jordan Lennox! Came across your site. You must love working dog squad.

Take care

Say hi to Jordan for me…give him my email address if you’re in touch with him. Hi also to Mark Bragonolo. I went to school with him, Matt Clarke and the infamous Kieron McConnell

The road to becoming a police dog trainer is a long one.

Having a love for dogs is only the beginning…There are courses, accreditations, and standards that have to be met. Our trainers are police officers who go through a rigorous selection process and have experience as police dog handlers. The entire process relies not just on the trainers ability to train dogs, but on their ability to work with the handlers as well.

How do you become a Police Dog Trainer, not a handler?
