Jeff Interviews Mike Kmiecik on K9 Case Law, Seminars & Expert Work

About this episode

Jeff Meyer interviews Mike Kmiecik about K9 case law and the challenges of balancing K9 work with family life.

In this episode host Jeff Meyer sits down with Mike Kmiecik of Sheepdog Guardian for a wide-ranging interview that pulls back the curtain on canine case law research, jurisdiction-specific training, and running a national K9 education business. Mike shares his path from 28 years in law enforcement — nearly 20 years as a working K9 handler — to inheriting and expanding Terry Fleck’s legal research platform and turning it into a practical resource for handlers and attorneys. The episode weaves in personal perspective: Mike’s early interest in policing, his long career as a handler, the difficulty of balancing family life with the demands of K9 work, and the decision to retire from patrol to pursue training full time.
