OUR EXPERIENCED TRAINERS

Our lead trainer, Sam, has quite the bare bone purpose and passion for what he does. Besides being born into a pack of dogs, German Shepherds to be precise, he is quite the dichotomy and embodiment of the man-dog spirit. He has stood mid-center, in the world's most coveted Board rooms, closing some of tech worlds largest market-shaping deals. He has been on speaking circuits, authored books, defended and represented communities in efforts that focus on conservation, self reliance and the true definition if freedom and goodwill. He has held titles such Global Vice President, CEO, and Founder.. and yet, every day, he would come home to his 5-acre horse farm, be a daddy, and play with his dogs. You could say, his passion to be with, and train dogs, was never about money or notoriety.. bit about the true spirit of Guardian and Stewardship of the Wingless Angels, we call dogs. 

Pat, is a former Military K9 Handler, and K9 Rehabilitation Specialist. He has served our country well, and for the past 30 years, has dedicated his life to helping his K9 brothers, the same way they helped him, while deployed in active duty. He has demonstrated his selflessness and expertise several times over, and formany decades, as a true feral K9 genius. His ability to discern, decipher and remedy deep rooted traumatic issues, has been recognized across the industry. He defines the true sentiment of "Vocation", and has seen dogs recover from trauma and anxieties, that regular civilians can never imagine. He has taken this gift and skill, to the homes of many families - and embodies the philosophy and psychology of KATA*k9 to the "N'th" degree.
