Founder

K9 Instructor

Patrick Kirby

I have advanced my knowledge in K9 application, selection, and various methods of training and behavior modification through Conifer Canine Dog Trainer College. K9's are the forefront and best defense against crime! Let's strive together for higher quality training and a more positive, healthy education altogether! (Except when I upset my wife...then she can sick the dog on me and its no longer Positive and Healthy!!!) (Just kidding she's perfect!)

From my experience, viewing K9 application in prison/patrol settings they can be the difference between life and death.  Locating drugs in prison environments to prevent overdose and violence from the contrband trade, to locating a missing Alzheimer's patient that just lost their way a little too far from home. The K9 nose is an underutilized resource nationwide and their ability to sniff and locate individuals along with contraband of all types is unmatched. The presence of a K9 in a less than least lethal use of force capacity not only can vastly attribute to officer safety. It can lessen the damages by suspects and inmates alike.

In my time, I have worked, visited, and toured countless kennels, and took all the best knowledge from each of them. This also gave me the ability to work with countless different breeds of all sizes ages and behavior levels.

Attending different sport trials and hunting events showed me so many different K9 worlds I didn't even know existed and thankfully a friendly and professional environment allowed me to become friends and find mentors too a long to list of wonderful people and their K9 partners/Friends!

From producing our own litter of puppies to training many members of society's dogs, we strive for excellence, health and positivity.

 ALWAYS!!!
