Your Working Dog Radio hosts, Eric @vanessk9 & Ted @ted_summers, sit down with⁣ owner of D-Tac K9 and Co-host of Police K9 Radio, certifying official for P.O.S.T., judge and certifying official for W.S.P.C.A., and subject matter expert, Gregg Tawney. ⁣

⁣

The gents get into Tawney’s 25 years worth of police dog training experience. Tawney has trained with the Dutch police, as well as numerous KNPV clubs throughout the Netherlands, and has taught classes on marker training and the importance of positive reinforcement at K9 Conferences across the country. He now manages LARGE group training with 90 dogs for the 20+ law enforcement agencies throughout Northern California that he trains with. Tawney has handled four different dogs as a police K9 handler, has been a K9 Sergeant, a K9 Lieutenant, a SWAT team member, SWAT team leader, and a Tactical Commander. While Eric jokes that Tawney has trained more dogs than Eric & Ted combined, it may be true! Tawney has been, and is, a well-respected and busy man; you can learn a LOT from this episode!

Episode 183: You Are What You Eat, with Kinetic Dog Food⁣

Your Working Dog Radio hosts, Eric @vanessk9 & Ted @ted_summers, are joined again by Dave and John Howard of Kinetic Dog Food.

We talk about @kineticdogfood all the time and for good reason. This, in our opinion, is the BEST dry dog food and supplements out there!! We know so many people who have had their dogs make the switch to Kinetic dog food for many reasons; from weight loss, skin issues, weight gain, and so much more. All now doing great on it! The gents recapped who Kinetic Dog Food is, and how they came to be. They go over myths and facts in the working dog food industry, and also talked about issues your dog may be having and how their food may be causing it.

They delved into the grain-free fad and where a dog’s protein should come from. Fueling a working dog can be tough, but they need that high quality food to give them the energy and nutrients that they require for the work we ask them to do! Kinetic Dog Food has a great balance of healthy meats and grains, and is made specifically for working and sporting dogs. They have a full line of foods and supplements available, and they’ve been working to perfect their line with thousands of dogs and hundreds of departments across the US.

In the last segment, they talked about the TV show that Kinetic has, Unleashed K9, which is going into its 3rd season!

⁣

If you are looking for a high quality dry dog food or supplements from a team that cares and knows what they are doing, look no further!!⁣ We take care of our own bodies and watch what we eat; we need to be doing the same for our dogs to help them live long and healthy lives! If you want the best, Kinetic Dog food is where it’s at! ⁣⁣

Last week, we said we didn’t have any more HITS episodes ; but this one was hidden away, and we are releasing it NOW!! Be sure to listen to this final 2022 HITS episode, and leave your thoughts below in the comments!⁣

⁣

Do you think we should get rid of dogs that bite? Will your dog out? Should you call your dog off with a verbal out, or hard out? You’ll want to hear what this guest has to say!⁣

⁣

Episode 182: Protecting the Bite with Eugene⁣

Your Working Dog Radio hosts, Eric @vanessk9 & Ted @ted_summers, sit down with⁣ Eugene P. Ramirez. ⁣

⁣

This is an important episode to listen to if you handle a K9 or if you are in law enforcement, as there is a national movement to get rid of bite dogs. Ramirez is working to stop the removal of these canines, and he and the gents discuss the legalities of having a bite dog on the team, and best practices to follow to help preemptively protect your dog and team. Ramirez instructed a class at HITS going over report writing, policies and procedures, training issues, use of force issues, supervisor liability, contemporary issues facing law enforcement, and how to defend against the inevitable lawsuit – some of which, he highlights for the listeners in this episode.⁣

⁣

Former Deputy District Attorney for the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, Eugene P. Ramirez received his degree in Political Science from California State University, where he minored in both Criminal Justice and Public Policy. Ramirez has also worked as a reserve police officer for the Whittier Police Department and the Monterey Park Police Department. He serves as an advisor to several public entities on the issues of use of force, canine and SWAT issues and policies and procedures, liability issues, supervision issues, and risk management issues. Fun note, Ramirez has also been awarded Certificates of Appreciation from the United States Army Special Operations Command (Fort Bragg, North Carolina) and from the United States Secret Service.

Episode 179: ⁣ Buy Once, Cry Once with Modern Icon

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Subscribe: RSS

⁣Your Working Dog Radio hosts, Eric @vanessk9 & Ted @ted_summers, sit down with⁣ Modern Icon Founder, Lee Vartanian.

⁣

This episode is from our HITS K9 conference series. Speaking of HITS, they will be returning to Arizona next year, August 15-18, in Scottsdale at the Westin Kierland Resort. Get your tickets to this conference early!⁣ (Speaking of tickets, did you know Eric has an e-collar course?)⁣

Vartanian has almost three decades’ worth of experience as a professional climber, doing DoD contracts with Tier 1 units around Bragg, and using the PACE method. This provided Vartanian with an intimate knowledge of quality materials, which helped him modify his own gear. After his time in the US Marine Corps, Vartanian became a police officer in South Carolina. As a police officer, Vartanian also modified some of his gear, including the infamous rifle sling. This piece of equipment picked up popularity among the instructors, the other officers, the folks at the range, etc. After noticing the equipment a K9 handler was using, Vartanian thought he could “hear the stitching coming out” and didn’t want the patrol dog that he works with to bite him, so Vartanian asked the handler if he could make a better leash, would he use it? And Modern Icon was born. (Also, Vartanian gave a shout out to Modern Icon’s “frenemy”, Ray Allen, for whom there is a mutual respect for each other!)
