Karie’s experience

  • About Karie

    I began training dogs at 9 years old and in 2012 started training police k9s. Law enforcement is where my passion lies and the ability to use dogs in applications is what drives me.

  • What makes Karie’s program special

    I am striving to produce dogs that are true utilitarian animals. Dogs that are ready and willing to work hard but also cuddle up on the couch. Fierce protectors that are stable around children, and possess good natural instinct.
