He's humble and passionate about working dogs and helping handlers. As we celebrate our third season we couldn't have had a better guest on the show.

| 7/22/25 | Episode #51 Ken Mathias "NC Malinois Trailblazer" Part 1. | Send us Fan Mail I've known of the gentleman in this episode for over 30 years, but just actually met him face to face around 6 months ago. Ken is one of the pioneers as it relates to working k9's in the state of North Carolina. It is likely that he introduced the Malinois to police work in NC. The description below does not come close to describing his accomplishments or contributions to the police K9 community. If you don't know his name there's a good reason. From my perspective Ken doesn'... | 52m 51s | ||||||
| 6/26/25 | Episode #50 Reflection and revisiting detection and tracking | Send us Fan Mail No special guest for episode #50. We reflected on the previous 49 episodes and discussed changes that we have made to our detection and tracking. Some of these changes came from ideas from some of our guests. Some of these changes have proven to be very helpful with certain dogs, but the one constant is that they are not all the same. What works particularly well for one dog may not work so well for the next. So, as we have said many times on the podcast you have to train the... | 43m 55s | ||||||

| 12/31/24 | Episode #45 Bob Ungurean and Fritz Vorderbrug "Pager to Iphone 6+" | Send us Fan Mail We've got a special interview with two fine gentlemen. They are each well accomplished, but have unique stories. They may seem like an unlikely pair to be collaborating with each other which makes this story unique. This is a special episode about redemption and seeing the good in people in spite of past misdeeds. It took some intestinal fortitude and careful consideration to come forward with this story. There's no hiding from it, but it's a whole different ball game to open... | 1h 41m 02s | ||||||

| 9/15/24 | Episode #42 Ben Rader of Rader K9 "Who has an original thought?" | Send us Fan Mail We have been after Ben for an interview for a good while. He is actually one of the first gentlemen we pursued when we began the podcast. It was in his best interest to wait until he had fully retired from the Army before we interviewed him. Ben is one of those guys that makes you feel glad he's on our side! If your old enough to remember the original GI Joe toys you'll be able to relate to this. Ben looks like the original GI Joe with live action hair. We hope you enjo... | 59m 24s | ||||||
