Episode 188:⁣ Origin K9

Your Working Dog Radio hosts, Eric @vanessk9 & Ted @ted_summers, sit down with⁣ retired Australian Army soldier, current Origin K9 owner and founder, as well as fellow Podcaster, Tom Brown. @origin.k9

The gents sit down with Tom Brown and talk about his life and history working as a K9 handler. Brown was so passionate about the industry that he sold his car, and used his savings to start Origin K9, which now contributes to his former community by manufacturing tactical canine equipment. Brown also trains multi-purpose canines, explores performance, and shares experiences in the tactical canine world through his podcast, The Origin K9 Podcast. You want to be sure to check it out!!

Brown spent 12 years in the Australian Army, during which time, he deployed to the Middle East multiple times as an Infantry and Special Forces soldier as well as Domestic Counter Terrorism. Brown was a K9 handler with the Second Commando Regiment and fulfilled that role as a member of the Tactical Assault Group (East) as part of the Special Forces Domestic Counter-Terrorism capability. With his career ending abruptly in 2019 due to a mental injury, Brown wanted to find a way to stay connected to, and contribute to, the working K9 community, so Brown started Origin K9 and began manufacturing industry specific equipment. Brown also developed dual role K9s for government agencies and trained pet dogs before starting Origin K9 manufacturing in 2022.
This is where he noticed a severe lack of industry support for the K9 industry. Brown is committed to providing the best equipment possible to the K9 handlers still doing their jobs on the front line of policing or the battlefield, and sees himself and Origin K9 as a way to enhance that capability. He knows all too well the reality of operations and the struggles that can be faced by Military and Police members, and sees the struggles faced by those members still conducting operations or having transitioned out of the service. Brown started the Origin K9 podcast as a way to remain connected with the community and ensure that their voices are heard.

Your Working Dog Radio hosts, Eric @vanessk9 & Ted @ted_summers, sit down with⁣ retired Mesa Police dog handler and trainer, former Southwest Regional Director for the National Police Canine Association, Arizona Law Enforcement Canine Association member, and current instructor with Paraclete K9, Scott Callendar. Paracletek9.com

Scott Callendar found his love for working dogs as his stepfather was a police dog handler. Callendar started attending police dog training while he was still a teenager and even assisted his stepmother with detection training. The gents hit on his background, and then quickly delve into Callendar’s extensive experiences. From Schutzhund to revolutionizing his department’s training methods, from various training classes he teaches to shaping behaviors with the ecollar and using as a communication tool, Callendar is a wealth of information! You are guaranteed to learn something from this episode!

Callendar started his career as a police officer with the City of Mesa Police Department in 1995. He served as patrol officer, part of the bicycle unit, an undercover narcotics detective for the Special Investigations Division (2001), part of the high-risk surveillance/apprehension team, working his way into SWAT (2004), and finally worked into K9 as a dog handler for the Special Operations/Tactical Team (2008). As K9, Callendar’s first dog was a “hand-me-down”, but he was able to revolutionize the way his department trained their dogs; this eventually lead to Callendar being one of two trainers for his department in 2012, and then the head trainer in 2017. Callendar retired from the police force in 2020, after over two decades of service.

During his career, Callendar developed an annual high-risk deployment seminar in Arizona, and several hundred dog teams from all over the United States have attended this seminar since its inception in 2015. In addition to his experience with the police department, Callendar has been a member of the Arizona Law Enforcement Canine Association, where he’s been on the training committee since 2011. Callendar was also named Southwest Regional Director for the National Police Canine Association in 2015, and held this position until 2020. Callendar was also employed by K9 Training Consultants from 2015 until 2020 where he worked as a dog trainer/instructor, and helped train security dog teams for a large hospital group in Arizona. Callendar has also worked as a trainer/instructor for Paraclete K9 since 2017.

Your Working Dog Radio hosts, Eric @vanessk9 & Ted @ted_summers, sit down with⁣ Street Cop Training, All Things K9 course Instructor and Police K9 Handler, Josh Brainard.

⁣

The gents get into what it was like to get into K9 by working at one of the largest police and military kennels in the world, and then what it was like to have many different jobs there, including a supervisor position- training, handling, and decoying dogs. Josh oversaw several training programs and imprinted working dogs in narcotics, detection, and tracking. Josh also contracted as an Explosives Detection Handler at major events like Cincinnati Bengals NFL games. As a police officer, Josh is a K9 handler and is currently teamed with a dual purpose K9. Since 2017, Josh has been assigned to his department’s Criminal Interdiction Unit as a K9 Handler, as well as their Street Crimes Unit and High Risk Tracking Team. Josh and his partner have tracked and apprehended several dangerous individuals and are responsible for many significant seizures of drugs, firearms, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash. Josh has thousands of hours of K9 training and is a graduate of several renowned K9 Tactical Tracking schools as well as Advanced Scent Detection, K9 Trailing, and K9 Imprinting courses. Josh also has a resume stocked full of Criminal Interdiction training. Josh and his partner have been medalists at the American Working Dogs K9 Olympics numerous times and Josh was named Top Cop at his agency in 2017. Instructor Josh Brainard has trained hundreds of working dogs and is currently the lead K9 trainer at his police agency. Josh Brainard comes to Street Cop with significant knowledge on police working dogs and how they can enhance our missions!

As an All Things K9 Course Instructor, Josh gives current K9 handlers a fresh perspective and deeper understanding of all things K9. This class helps officers better understand how police working dogs function, and explains how to interact more efficiently alongside K9 Teams. Supervisors gain a better understanding of how to support these valuable resources and prevent liability against their units. For those police officers with aspirations to become a K9 handler, this class gives them a jump start to understand the science of the craft! Course attendees learn about K9 narcotics sniffs of vehicles, currency, parcels, buildings, and open areas. This course also explores the use of a K9 in high-risk vehicle stops, tracking, trailing and open area searches for suspects. Instructor Brainard talks about the use of perimeters for containment, as well as collecting, preserving, and presenting scent evidence as it relates to manhunts. Real deployment videos are shown to explain how suspects were located and narcotics were seized.

If you can’t attend the class, be sure to listen to this episode, it’s packed full of good training tips!!

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! ⁣⁣
