Get To Know 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 were 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 the 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 leadership roles to aid in missions regarding the advancement of the utilization and implementation of canines. Joshua has also assisted Texas Law Enforcement 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 various missions and was hand selected to lead multiple canine teams 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 took on multiple leadership roles. Racheal has also aided Texas Law Enforcement in homicide cases with her cadaver dog.
Joshua and Racheal continue to learn and grow as canine trainers. They believe in the bond created between canines and humans. Joshua and Racheal are passionate about sharing 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 expertise to you so you may continue to maintain your canine’s training!
