Question hello, my name is sam. im 18 years old and attending college majoring in criminal justice i am a dog lover and i need help finding a job that has action, and where i can work with a more aggressive dog such as a german shepard. I plan on working around the Maryland, PA, and WV regions. What job do you recommend?
Answer Sam, first of all welcome aboard. Now, study hard and finish your degree. Start looking into agencies that have k9 programs. Look at those that are a size of 10 dogs or more. Now, start applying and get your foundation set. After you get hired do a few years on the job to really see if this is what you want to do for say 20-30 years. Then you will begin to understand police work and what its all about. After you have answered all of the above start seeking an opening in the k9 unit.
Good Luck
Paul
