Our objective is simple, to provide the services needed to create and maintain the most proficient K9 teams possible. We incorporate traditional training methods with progressive thinking to produce advanced performance levels. We believe it to be crucial that our trainers continuously engage themselves in all areas of the K9 community to ensure that the most up to date and accurate techniques and information are available to our clients. The trainers at Heritage K9 have proven abilities in all aspects of law enforcement K9 training and all are well versed in the European dog sports which have long served as the foundation for development of K9 teams. Well-trained police service dogs in the law enforcement field not only save man-hours, but also increase public safety and the safety of officers involved in enforcement actions. To that end, we are excited about serving the needs of your agency.

Erin is considered the backbone of our family based company. While everyone involved in police K9 training must be passionate about it, it is Erin’s sense of accountability that reminds us that the passion of the company must reach further then training dogs. Every dog that we work with performs not only for the handler, but also for all of the handlers’ partners and subsequently for the family of those officers. Erin is not only the best office manager that we could hope for, but she also reminds us that we are called to provide a service for those that serve in today’s harsh world.
