Episode 184: D-Tac K9
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!
