ABOUT THE OWNERS

COMBINED 26 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE !!!!

Jason Cooper with Nicholas Von Storm & Angie Cooper with Mauser Vom Neuenschloss.

Jason and Angie Cooper, owners of Precision K-9 Services, have a combined 26 years of training experience, not just handlers experience, and are not just self trained. Check out their history below. Be aware, there are people who are self proclaimed "Expert", "Master", "Professional" dog trainers, etc.. in the dog training community. The stories we hear are scary. Get references, and take a class, trainers course, or buy a dog from real experienced trainers!

Once in a while as I happen upon some other local trainers' sites, who will not be named, they know who they are. I see familiar wording and class set up etc... They say that "Imitation is the Highest form of Flattery!" So look for changes on other sites as I update ours. But remember you seen it here first!

Jason and Angie have numerous hours with the ride along program and often like to ride along with the K-9 units they have trained. Jason supports Angie's hobby in the sport of Schutzhund and the showing of their Rottweiler in the German style conformation. They have attended seminars on various dog related topics, and continue to expand their knowledge on all dog issues.

Jason and Angie also offer a Trainers Program for those wishing to become dog trainers. And they also conduct training seminars on various subjects. They have implemented a breeding program in which to offer themselves, and others, dogs for service work, and the general public excellent companion dogs.

A word about Schutzhund - we do not train our police dogs in this style, schutzhund is competition, like AKC, or other dog sports. Schutzhund creates a great genetic pool for us to pull our working dogs from and I support (and like) Schutzhund as well as other dog clubs. But we train out Police Dogs for Police work. Our breeding stock we like to have proven physically, mentally, and workability, so yes, you may see titles on these dogs.
