We had an amazing week…Ships, Emergencies, Public Safety, ASCT Advanced Conference, Biden Sweeps, County Call Outs…Loving our life with our dogs!
Truman and I spent some time together in Seattle and Portland. We had to do our introduction and training at Pier 91, getting ready for cruise season to start. He got to explore and see all of the port and the terminal. We then went to Portland to see some of our handlers there and get a new dog for a client. Truman is a 5 month old puppy with such a solid foundation and so much confidence. We trained while we were there and had a great time…he even found drug paraphernalia in Portland…go figure…what a good boy. He is my future narcotics detection dog…killing it at 5 mos old. He is a third generation Smith Pak puppy…Titan my very first narcotics detection dog, who is now retired is his grandpa and Zyler my explosive detection dog is his dad…three generations of amazing working dogs. Watch for greater things from this puppy!!!
4.5 mos old and searching like a champion…Truman the Rock Star! He found 3 odors today in his first big building search. Imprinting and Environmentals are so important when you are training detection dogs, especially puppies. I am so proud of the dogs that I breed and are able to train to be rock solid detection dogs.
When you have a 9 week old Mal…this is what a minute walk looks like!
Help us name our new Mal puppy - She is 8 weeks old and will be one of our detection dogs! Comment below with your name ideas…
We have the best job! We get to work with our dogs everyday, searching various places in Spokane and the surrounding areas. Nothing better than being a K9 Handler and having an incredible partner!

We loved sharing Xia our 3.5 mo old puppy with all of you and teaching you how to approach dogs, best ways to care for them and how to be a great companion.
We also loved sharing with you all of the things you can do using dogs in the community.
We enjoyed sharing with you opportunities as females, the job opportunities available when working with dogs.
You can do anything you set your mind to…Thank you for allowing us to share with you all of our dogs, what we do with the dogs and letting Mako do a search for you!
Happy 10th Birthday Titan! You are the reason the Smith Pak Working Dogs is so successful. You are the one who helped me start it all! You make me proud every day! You have been an amazing partner and I truly adore and love you!
The puppies are almost 6 weeks old and extremely confident little guys! Yarma has been an incredible mom to them and they have been fun to teach. They are outgoing, resourceful, self assured and happy. There are still two guys looking for their forever homes. They will be ready to go between 9-10 weeks. We make sure they have 2 sets of shots, they come with a 10 year health guarantee and the parents are on site to meet. These boys will do great things..sport, companion, working or family. These puppies are third generation in the Smith Pak lines, so you don’t want to miss out on this opportunity. Message us or call us for more details!
We love cruise season! It has been a great May so far! All of the ships are up and going!
