Josh Judge- Head Trainer and Owner
I have a little over 20 years of experience in dog training. While serving in the Iowa Air National Guard and a short stint in Law Enforcement, I decided to pursue my life long passion of training dogs as a career. I've been fortunate to contribute to the training of K9 programs for various military, law enforcement, and government agencies across the United States, Europe and Australia.
I hold certifications as a Trainer and Instructor from American K9 Interdiction, a Master Trainer Certification from the Scandinavian Working Dog Institute in Sweden, and a Silver and Gold Graduate of NePoPo. I’m actively seeking knowledge from trainers worldwide and regularly attend workshops and seminars to stay updated with never ending advancements in training techniques.
