Question
Mr. Koinig,

I was just wondering how you got to where you are, as a dog trainer. No real specific questions, just curiosity as I look into the diffrent areas of law enforcment.

Thanks for your time,
-Andrew

Answer
Andrew, this is an easy one! Twenty years ago, after military and college, I got my job as a police officer. Did two years working the road learning how to be a cop!. Great start. Worked alot of cases with canine officers and decided to give it a whirl. Got my first dog and liked it so much began learning what training was all about and what adog was all about. Thus began my career with dog training. Since that start then I got into specialty dogs and now have a well rounded view. I have since travelled abroad and learned alot from true experts. If I can help you in any other way let me know!
