"This journey we walk together"
A little about us!
Joshua is the first American born in his family who originally migrated from Brazil. Joshua is a Marine Corps veteran. While in the Marine Corps, his sole job and area of focus was to train potential canine candidates on off leash explosive detection in conjunction with off leash obedience. This training functionality was well sought after and allowed Joshua to train canines for and alongside foreign and domestic military. Joshua then transitioned from his military career to continue training canines for the Department of Homeland Security. There he has taken multiple lead roles to aid in missions in regards to the advancement of the utilization and implementation of canines. Joshua has also aided San Antonio Police Department in homicide cases with his cadaver dog (now retired).
​
Racheal is a Colorado native and also a Marine Corps veteran. While serving our country Racheal specialized in training potential canine assets to conduct controlled bite work (patrol) and detection (explosive/narcotics). While serving Racheal was requested to aid foreign nationals in a variety of missions and was hand selected to lead multiple canine teams while abroad. After the Marine Corps Racheal worked for a Dog Training facility in San Antonio as a lead trainer and due to her attention to detail and care for canines she was promoted to facility manager. Racheal then transitioned to work for the Department of Homeland Security where she continued to train potential canine assets and has also taken on multiple lead roles. Racheal has also aided SAPD in homicide cases with her cadaver dog.
​
Both Joshua and Racheal pursue to continuously learn more and grow as canine trainers. They believe in the bond that has been created between canine and human. Joshua and Racheal are passionate to share this bond and experience with you by establishing and creating a personalized one on one training plan for your canine and then passing their knowledge and experience to you so that you may continue to and maintain your canine’s training!
