❄️🐾 Snow days are fun days! Who else loves watching their furry friends frolic in the snow? 🐶💨

Let’s see your four-legged family members having a blast in the winter wonderland! Share your cutest snow day pics in the comments below! 📸⛄️

As children, we would often take the time to appreciate snow days, which became even more enjoyable when our dogs participated in the activities. It was through 4H that I discovered my interest in dog training, and as a means of giving back, all junior handlers will receive free training in 2025. If your child is interested in pursuing AKC scentwork, rally, or obedience, we will provide the training at no cost.

Transformative Moments of 2024
Attended 9 enriching workshops
Received over 200 hours of continuing education credits
Judged in multiple venues and celebrated not only our own dogs' titles but also helped numerous others achieve theirs.
And had the privilege of co-instructing with two renowned detection instructors in the most widely used systems by military and police.
A remarkable year that fuels our passion for growth.

Just remember:
While anyone can claim to be a trainer, it's the dedicated few who continually refine their craft and put their skills to the test, inspiring positive change.

So glad to see this article. Zeus is a dog I've been involved with since he attended our handler course. From the first few weeks of training to helping oversee maintenance training, one constant has remained the same: the dedication of the handler. He put in the time and often pushed me to want to pull groups of guys together to host a training day. Always seeking more knowledge and attending trainings we took part in around the country, the dedication Deputy Fentress displayed spoke volumes. People often don't understand the hundreds of hours that go into training and the unspeakable bond you form with a canine partner. I’m happy to see this team staying together now that Zeus service to Grayson county is over.

Source: Grayson County Sheriff's Office. LEITCHFIELD, Ky. – A Grayson County K-9 with hundreds of arrests behind its career is now going into retirement. The Grayson County Sheriff’s Office announced Thursday that it has decided to retire K-9 Zeus due to some non-life threatening medical issues....

As 2024 draws to a close, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Elite K9 for organizing a diverse range of exceptional workshops throughout the year, covering topics such as canine first aid, K9 BSD, legal matters, interdiction, and more. The reinstatement of the K9 Street Survival School, providing hands-on training, as well as the Police K9 Conference in Las Vegas and the K9 Cop Magazine in Nashville, has been particularly noteworthy. I am grateful for the expertise of all instructors and the additional knowledge acquired over the past year.
