Hello, everybody.

Welcome to this episode of Canine's Talking Sense.

On this episode, I wanted to take some time and do an episode solely focused on one of the main questions I get often, especially as I travel around.

And that question is, how do I get into becoming a detection dog handler?

And maybe more specifically, how do I get into becoming an explosive detection dog handler?

And I get it from both sides.

I get it from the commercial world and I get it from civilians.

I also get it from veterans.

And what I've recommended in almost all cases, especially with the veterans, is a company called AK9i.

So my two guests, one of which I've had on my podcast as we were reminiscing six years ago, Tim Baird, and I also have James Overton.

James is part of the AK9i staff and so is Tim.

So by having both of them on, I figured we could have a conversation and

and probably do our best to answer a lot of questions that many of you guys have about how to enter this world.

So I'll start off with you, James.

Tell us a little bit about you and then tell us about what AK9 is and what it's becoming.

Yeah, without a doubt.

So Tim, who's been on the podcast before, like I mentioned, Tim, fill us in on what's going on for you and how you now play a role at AK99.

Yeah.

And you highlighted, obviously, something when it comes to the training aspect, which is super important, which is that consistency.

Because, you know, when someone's new into the field, we already if those of us, like you said, can remember what it's like.
