Our Mission
Dark Shadows Canine serves training and culture to people who love America and canines. We develop our training concepts and philosophies with the same mission focus we learned as Law Enforcement/Military members serving this great country. We are committed to supporting military, veterans, law enforcement, and first responders everywhere.
Our History
Founded in 2023 by Current Law Enforcement Canine/S.W.A.T. operator and trainer, Dark Shadows Canine was built upon the mission to serve training and culture to people who love America and canines. Dark Shadows stands for more than high-quality training. We are a LEO-founded business operated by principled men and women who honor those who protect, defend, and support our country.
Our People
A large part of Dark Shadows Canine success is due to the outstanding work ethic and discipline of our employees and contractors. As a LEO-founded and operated company, Dark Shadows Canine also strives to help other service-members like Law Enforcement or Military to successfully transition into civilian and entrepreneurship.
Our Trainers
DSC trainers are Americans who have spent most of their lives working dogs in the civilian, law enforcement, and special operation fields since the mid 1990s. The DSC trainers have conducted countless K9 classes and seminars throughout America working countless dogs in the process.
The DSC team provides training services as an Applied Animal Behavioral Scientist to their clients.
The majority of the trainers are certified canine law enforcement instructors through the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission of Florida. Many of the trainers have conducted in-depth, joint training programs with Special Operations Forces (SOF), military K9 units, as well as multiple LE agencies. DSC has also taken advice and consulted with many of the US Tier 1 SOF units, as well as many SOF units across the globe to further educate themselves on the expectations and capabilities of canines as it applies to direct action.
Our reputation as innovators in modern training concepts have led to proven deployment results at the highest-level, making DSC sought-after for our instruction.
