Our Team of Instructors
Here at the Canine Training Academy our team of instructors have very diverse backgrounds in all types of K9 work as well as being highly skilled in training tracking and trailing dogs. They have chosen to teach here because of their devotion to the art of training reliable tracking and trailing dogs. Their hard work and dedication are what makes the program so successful. Our program is always evolving as we continue to learn new techniques and keep our minds open to new ideas. We are always on the look out for new and talented instructors to add to our program.
