Hey there! I’m Dustin Stiles, a prior Explosive Detection K-9 Handler with a passion for our four-legged partners. As a proud United States Marine veteran with two tours in Iraq, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the incredible skills and dedication that working dogs bring to the table.

I’m always eager to learn about the various breeds and training methods that make these canines so effective in their roles.

I enjoy connecting with fellow handlers, exchanging experiences, and championing the remarkable bond between humans and dogs. I want to dive into conversations about our furry companions and the extraordinary work they accomplish alongside their handlers.
