AN INTRODUCTION BY DOCTOR DAVID KELSO

I am a Hospital Administrator, and have worked throughout America in numerous facilities as the Director of Surgery. I have been the Vice President of the American Red Cross in Montana for several years. I also have for 20 years been highly involved in the training and usage of Disaster K9s throughout America. I have been worked with 8 different K9 Academies where they trained Search and Rescue and Police K9s. I met Bob Taylor of USK9 five years ago. I gave him an untrained Akita to train for Search and Rescue. "Casper" has since been recognized as the Nations top Search K9, top Therapy K9, and is now working as a K9 with the Sheriff's Department in Yakama Washington, along with the other K9s Bob trained for me. USK9 is the best working facility I know. Bob's dogs out perform any dogs I've ever seen. Bob is intelligent, sensitive, professional, committed, and trustworthy. I've never worked with anyone I appreciate more.
Doctor David Kelso, PHD.


In the fall of 2007, as the General Manager of Britain's largest International Security and Protection Corporation, I hired Mr. Bob Taylor, after being recommended to do so by the Governor of Hong Kong China, and comparing him to other world class trainers from Europe, America, and Asia. We needed 3 Police Service K9s that could provide executive Security for an entire Island. The Island had proven to be vulnerable and our Elite Clientelle could not be provided with anything but the best security we could find. Bob gave us a long list of things his dogs would do for us, and accomplishments he would achieve for us. We didn't really expect or believe these were going to happen, but we heard he was very good, so we went along. We were wrong. Bob not only performed as per contract, but out performed himself. In thirty years of Police, Army, and Professional Service I have NEVER witnessed such outstanding performance. What Bob's work has enabled us to do may change the industry, and it's standard. His work was "PHENOMINAL", and beyond our critique. It is very unusual in this day and age to find someone like this. We are very pleased with USK9.

The Police K9 as is presently used throughout America today is in many respects a failure. The reason for this is very simple. You can have the best technology, the most committed personnel, and the most up-to-date equipment, and what counts more than anything else is;
  • What are the inherent natural qualities in your dog that make them superior performers? (proper genetics, Instincts, temperament, & disposition)
  • What behavioral foundations were used to build your dog mentally, emotionally, and psychologically?
  • What behavioral foundations were used to train your handlers mentally, emotionally, and psychologically?
  • What philosophies and methods do you use to train your K9s and handlers, and why?
There is an alarming number of Police Departments that are seeking legal recompense from the professionals they have worked with who have provided them with dangerous, neurotic, destructive, and psychotic animals, or who have referred them to incompetent "professionals" to help resolve their departmental issues.

Since the early 1970s I personally know that America has not sent one single K9 team to represent them at the WORLD POLICE CHAMPIONSHIPS that has scored well. The FCI has a listing by Nation and Individual of the Search and Rescue Teams that have scored well in International Competition, and AMERICA is not even listed. Why?

Consider USK9:

We are committed to providing superior world-class K9s to our customers. This commitment requires developing a diverse background in Psychology, Biology, Quantum Physics, Behavioral Studies, networked by trained professionals, meeting your Police and detection needs. Once you understand why USK9 is the ONLY real option you have for dog training, we would like the opportunity to be advised of your specific needs and desires, and then to disclose our solutions to them in an intelligent discussion where we can present a program designed for you as the ULTIMATE K9 answer to those needs. We're sure that you understand and can appreciate this information even more than we do, and we are therefore eager to help you as only we can.

We believe that the unique qualities we built into every K9 we train are the foundation and corner stone for the level of professional excellence we guarantee in the behavior and performance of every dog we produce. The basis for that excellence comes from:

OUR FACILITY: County, State, and Federally Licensed, our state-of-the -art Academy facility has been designed capable of housing and training a number of diversified (Anti-Terrorist, Police Patrol and Detection, Search & Rescue, and Service Assistance) World Class quality K9s, at the same time. According to the San Bernardino Preventive Veterinary Services it is the cleanest such Facility in San Bernardino. It is the largest Licensed Dog Training Facility in Western United States, with over 100 adjoining acres of open country surrounding it. At this facility we have trained the top recognized working dogs in America in several fields, in 2006/7, and over the past 30 years.

OUR STAFF: Our trainers have graduated from the top rated Schools of Training, (such as U.S. CUSTOMS, the GERMAN GOVERNMENTS Police, Customs, and Anti-Terrorist Academy in Munich, the Czechoslovakian National Training School, Denmark's top K9 KMPV Training Academy, etc.) have respected reputations world wide, and represent the best from Europe, Asia, and America. We possess over 100 years of unblemished International in-field training experience, with 1,000s of titled and certified K9s, and 10,000s of clients. Our Staff is pulled National and World Champion K9 Experts, and top related Federal Employees, including women, and minorities, with outstanding resumes.

OUR TRAINING: Second to none, proven world-wide, far beyond our competition we have, in every area of training in which we are involved, become world leaders. Simply put, where others talk, our dogs have consistently out performed the competition to the point where we stand as undisputed leaders because of the principles, strategies, methods, and standards we use and maintain with every dog, and every client. We have and will simply out train, out perform, and out work anyone in the world.

This year USK9 President Bob Taylor, The Continental Who's Who, is being honored as the "Humanitarian of the Year by "the Journal of Longevity", a Medical Journal representing the Nations' Leading Health Care Professional Business, for his outstanding work with 100s of disabled persons.
    In 2006 K9s trained by USK9 were awarded:

  • Outstanding Search & Rescue K9 of the Year - F.E.M.A.
  • We are National and World Champion competitors
The training we do is scientifically sound and completely comprehensive, and based on years of Post University research, and International field experience. We do not mix our positive motivational, healing, therapeutic methods with negativity or punishment in any way.

Our behavioral school of dog training has produced the best results of any school in this field of endeavor. Your dog is going to learn to respond to you at our school with whole, correct behaviors, instilled into their sub-conscious minds, and conditioned to perform on a level above that you will ever need. We will produce professional, quality behaviors in your dog that you can use at will.

Obedience Training: (Obedience is the foundation for all behavior. It is on the obedience field where you develop behaviors, not the protection field. The quality of your dogs' obedience is the quality of their mind. Thorough obedience training the dog and its' handler learn to work as a single unit, a team, a family. The dog learns to work as an extension of the handler, following through with the intentions of the handler in a predictable manner, only.)

It isn't the reportorial mass of information that shows you "how" to use your K9 in service, but the quality of the behavior and performance that has been imprinted into your K9s subconscious mind which will elevate your training to a superior level. That's what we teach. We teach each trainer how to understand, communicate, motivate, discipline, and imprint the essential foundations for performance the best specific way for each individual K9 through evaluation, analysis, and proper application. It takes time, proper instruction and direction, commitment, focus, and determination to be successful in learning this instruction properly.

In order to be properly educated we also work with each student in other areas as well.

Small dog Training
Our School for SMALL DOG training is also recognized for its' tremendous success. Because of our unique knowledge of Canine Behavior and our Post Graduate Psychological approaches we can offer specialized training for small dogs others can't. Many small dogs suffer from extreme behavioral disorders that require special understanding and training to handle.

Dangerous Dogs
The greatest dog related problem in our society today is that of dogs that display uncontrolled psychotic behaviors. Not only, as the California Behavioralists, did we assist in the writing of the dangerous dog laws; we have successfully trained hundreds dangerous dogs, many of which were either turned down or failed training courses with some of America's top schools and trainers. We are considered the elite school in America for this endeavor also.

Our Service Assistance K9s
We train K9s for all disabled persons. We are world leaders for Seizure Alert K9s, K9s that work with Autistic typed disabled persons, and many of physical and mental disabilities. We have been honored in 2006 by several organizations for the work we have done with our Assistance K9s.

US-K9 ANTI-TERRORIST K9S
Complete Search and Assault Dogs, capable of search and rescue, seize, or stop, as well as cadaver, explosives, narcotics, patrol, and criminal detection, all-in-one, make these K-9s the real special forces canines of the dog world!

US-K9 Family Defense K9s
are totally unique in the field of protection trained family pets. These dogs are trained for off leash obedience, tracking, and scent discrimination. Then they are trained for off leash personal protection, sentry assault work, and to be totally non-aggressive on command. They are literally a trained soldier, body guard, and the perfect companion all in one.

Our School for Police K9 Dog Trainers is designed on a tutorial one-on-one basis. Upon completion the student should be capable of going anywhere, opening a K9 Academy the next week, and doing business without the need for support. Graduation from the school is the responsibility of the student. The student must come prepared to learn and perform, independent of the staff. Their performance must be self-motivated, and will be evaluated and critiqued on a weekly schedule. Their performance will be logged and documented daily and weekly. Certifications for Professional Status from USK9 are earned, not given, purchased, or politically motivated. The most dangerous, powerful team you'll ever meet is a USK9 handler and his dog.
