Hello Everyone,

I worked with my Brother in-law training military working dogs and private sector protection dogs in Mexico. Yes, Mexico, and for security reasons we left Mexico and moved back to the States.

My love for all working breeds especially the German Shepherd has guided me to create this site. Here we will talk about training methods and tactics that work in today's world.

Lately I have been seeing some very talented trainers with their dogs showcasing what boils down to be little more than great showmanship. These so called tactical training are just for show and in the real world if used could cause not only injury to the handler and the K9 but potentially get one or the other killed.

You might have seen them on YouTube or Facebook. One example was where the handler was deployed with his k9 and put the dog under his legs as he moved about with his sidearm out. Please this may look cool but is a very dangerous tactic, do not use this.

So I will be showcasing and interviewing trainers and K9 masters from all over the world and what they do and how they train.

I will also be interviewing police k9 departments to see how they developed their programs and how they navigate the use of their dogs.

Breed selection for task specific and general work will also be discussed. Some general breed information will also be posted. I might even through in some fun trick training as well. After all at the end of the work day who wouldn't like their dog to get them a frosty beverage out of the fridge for them.

Best regards

K9World

My dog Drako above and my dog Drake below. RIP to both great examples of the breed and working dogs.
