Scenturion K9 Consulting

Hard to believe our baby graduated today! We are SO PROUD of you, Kayla! Life isn’t easy, but yours is harder than most. Add the challenge of the last half of your junior year and your entire senior year being a complete mess, but you never faltered. You pushed through and kept a positive attitude every single day. Today it paid off, and you earned every bit of it! Love you, Baby!!!

How does a STRAY DOG end up spending his life protecting school kids? Read on!!! Meet K9 Cisco and his new handler, Amanda. In January of this year, @fontanaschoolpolice and @fontanaunified unexpectedly lost their detection dog, Max. They didn’t have the budget to simply replace the dog, so the future of their K9 program looked bleak. Enter K9 Cisco. He was found last year, literally wandering the streets with a broken paw, no tag, no chip. A very generous lady rescued him an...d took him to the vet. I met her there and took him on as a project dog, hoping when he healed up he would display the necessary drive to be a working dog. Several months and vet check ups later, he’s all healed up and has plenty of drive, so we donated him to @fontanaschoolpolice. He went home with his new handler yesterday and they’re already bonding up nicely! The @fontanachamber generously stepped up to cover the costs of his training, and our food supplier, @naturesselectie was so inspired by the story that they are sponsoring Cisco with free food FOR LIFE!!! We’re so excited to be a small part of the community coming together to provide a vital resource to protect our schools, and we’ll continue to share his progress with everyone!!! See more

Finishing up a little obedience work at Angel Stadium of Anaheim. Thanks to @coast2coastpublicsafety and @angels for hooking us up with a great training opportunity! #gsd #k9 #police #dutchshepherd #policek9 #militaryworkingdog #k9training #policedog #dogtraining #malinoisofinstagram #inlandempire #dog #fontana #sherrifk9 #k9unit #belgianmalinois #doglovers #schutzhund #workingdog #detectiondog #militarydog #fontanapd #germanshepherd #rottweiler #dogtrainer #K9trainer #maligator #malociraptorlife

Rough day. Had to say an unexpected goodbye to my working partner, Ragnar. He was only 5, but he was diagnosed with lymphoma and I couldn’t let him suffer so I didn’t have to. I was trying to figure out what to post, but my daughter Marleigh put together this video and it’s perfect. The only tough thing about working with dogs is you go through days like today more often than most people do, but I wouldn’t trade a day of it. It’s a blessing to work with these amazing anima...ls, and it wouldn’t hurt so much if I didn’t care so much. That’s not a bad thing, in my book. #gsd #k9 #police #dutchshepherd #policek9 #militaryworkingdog #k9training #policedog #dogtraining #malinoisofinstagram #inlandempire #dog #fontana #sherrifk9 #k9unit #belgianmalinois #doglovers #schutzhund #workingdog #detectiondog #militarydog #fontanapd #germanshepherd #rottweiler #dogtrainer #K9trainer #maligator #malociraptorlife See more

This is Axl. He took our patrol-based tracking course last year, and earlier this week it was put to good use. Officers responded to a 12 year old who met up with a 26 year old she met online. Luckily no crime occurred before officers arrived, but she still took off running because she thought she’d be in trouble. So many bad possibilities for a 12 year old out on the streets at 3 am and the 26 year old she already met up with once being released. Officers were unable to lo...cate her and a drone was brought in, still no luck. Enter Axl and his handler Brad. They obtained a scent article from the family and were able to track the girl about half a mile and found her hiding in the yard of a residence. She was returned home unharmed, potential disaster averted. Outstanding work, outstanding results! We’re so proud of you guys! #gsd #k9 #police #dutchshepherd #policek9 #militaryworkingdog #k9training #policedog #dogtraining #malinoisofinstagram #inlandempire #dog #fontana #sherrifk9 #k9unit #belgianmalinois #doglovers #schutzhund #workingdog #detectiondog #militarydog #fontanapd #germanshepherd #rottweiler #dogtrainer #K9trainer #maligator #malociraptorlife See more

Check out one of our clients, Lenny and @k9asa, running our obstacle course. You can’t even tell she had a litter 5 months ago because they’ve put in the work and it shows! A bit of Run Around by Blues Traveler captures her energy and vibe perfectly. #gsd #k9 #police #dutchshepherd #policek9 #militaryworkingdog #k9training #policedog #dogtraining #malinoisofinstagram #inlandempire #dog #fontana #sherrifk9 #k9unit #belgianmalinois #doglovers #schutzhund #workingdog #detectiondog #militarydog #fontanapd #germanshepherd #rottweiler #dogtrainer #K9trainer #maligator #malociraptorlife

I usually stay away from politics on my IG, but this particular hypocrisy directly impacts my daughter Kayla, and I’ll always fight for her! First photo is a screen shot of Gov. Newsom’s tweet when Betsy DeVos proposed cutting Special Olympics funding from the federal budget. Second photo is of the Special Olympics page asking for support because his proposed 2021-22 California state budget eliminates all funding for Special Olympics in California. At least he and I agree on ...one thing in this issue...anyone who wants to eliminate funding for Special Olympics should be ashamed. There’s a link in my bio to sign a petition and send an email to your legislators and Gov. Newsom. R, D or I, PLEASE support not only my daughter, but all of the Special Olympics athletes in California!!! #specialolympics #downsyndrome #downsyndromeawareness #downsyndromelove #autism #autismawareness #disabilityawareness #disabilityrights #paralympics #redlandsrebels #fusionaquatics #specialolympics #specialolympicssoutherncalifornia #specialolympicsnortherncalifornia #specialneeds See more

This is a long story, but it’s why Eric with @aepservices and I train dogs like we do. This is Brizo, a Cane Corso who weighs well over 100 lbs. His owner is a young woman who has been training obedience and protection with us for over a year, and her investment and work paid off over the weekend. She heard Brizo barking and thought nothing of it, until she heard a man yell and heard Brizo’s bark change. She went outside to find Brizo with a stranger cornered inside her fence...d yard. She left Brizo there while she went to call the police. Brizo held the man in that corner until the police arrived and took him into custody. Brizo never bit him, he held him in a guard and bark, as he’s been taught, until his owner called him to her side. Brizo is bite trained, so@make no mistake, had the suspect attacked the dog or tried to run he would’ve been bitten. Since he was wise enough (and no doubt terrified enough) not to challenge Brizo, he escaped a trip to the hospital. Turns out the suspect was recently released from jail and thanks to Brizo, we’ll never know what his true intentions were. Would a bite in this scenario have been justified? Without question, but justified and necessary are 2 different things. Use of force is a last resort. Brizo provided an alternative, our client is safe and will face no lawsuits or unnecessary scrutiny. That’s the reason we do this. We train protection dogs, NOT attack dogs. There’s a difference! #gsd #k9 #police #dutchshepherd #policek9 #militaryworkingdog #k9training #police dog #dogtraining #malinoisofinstagram #inlandempire #dog #fontana #sherrifk9 #k9unit #belgianmalinois #doglovers #schutzhund #workingdog #detectiondog #militarydog #fontanapd #germanshepherd #rottweiler #dogtrainer #K9trainer #maligator #malociraptor See more

Find the class you want to sign up for below, click the link in the description and let's train!

A common question I get is about teaching dogs to bite certain areas of the body, usually referred to as targeting. I’m not a big believer in targeting. Instead, through drills and decoy positioning, we teach the dog to bite whatever is in front of him and available. Putting decoys prone under vehicles or beds , or covering them, like on the ghost drill I posted about a while back, the dog learns to bite whatever is there. We’ve never done anything beyond that with Doc, but ...he takes a nice stomach bite on command, and when I move my arm slightly higher on the second entry, he has no problem taking a hip. More importantly, he doesn’t move from either position for a re-bite. Ideally, you want your dog to be comfortable and confident wherever they bite, just like Doc in this video. #gsd #k9 #police #dutchshepherd #policek9 #militaryworkingdog #k9training #policedog #dogtraining #malinoisofinstagram #inlandempire #dog #fontana #sherrifk9 #k9unit #belgianmalinois #doglovers #schutzhund #workingdog #detectiondog #militarydog #fontanapd #germanshepherd #rottweiler #dogtrainer #K9trainer #maligator #malociraptor See more

What a blast we had this weekend! We got to work the @nascar race weekend at @autoclubspeedway under the Scenturion K9 banner. We met some great fans, drivers and celebrities who love to go racing! Can’t wait to come back next year!!! #gsd #k9 #police #dutchshepherd #policek9 #militaryworkingdog #k9training #policedog #dogtraining #malinoisofinstagram #inlandempire #dog #fontana #sherrifk9 #k9unit #belgianmalinois #doglovers #schutzhund #workingdog #detectiondog #militarydog #fontanapd #germanshepherd #rottweiler #dogtrainer #K9trainer #maligator #malociraptor

Ragnar and I had the opportunity to meet @tonitrucks while working at the @autoclubspeedway today. It was a pleasure to meet such a kind, genuine person. She also has a real appreciation for working breeds, like the Mal on her show, SEAL Team. Thank you, Toni, you have two new fans! #gsd #k9 #police #dutchshepherd #policek9 #militaryworkingdog #k9training #policedog #dogtraining #malinoisofinstagram #inlandempire #dog #fontana #sherrifk9 #k9unit #belgianmalinois #doglovers #schutzhund #workingdog #detectiondog #militarydog #fontanapd #germanshepherd #rottweiler #dogtrainer #K9trainer #maligator #malociraptor
