Built by a Real professional Entrepreneur & Business Coach - Not Just a Trainer

Lots of people want there dogs trained and some teach dog training, and others talk about business, but VANDERPETS K9 Elite Detection Academy was found by someone who lives it daily.

As an active entrepreneur, business coach, and experienced detection dog handler and instructor and working with K9 Elite dogs everyday, I wanted to create this Academy to give pet professionals and owners what generic courses can’t: real business strategy, real-world handler skills, and unwavering accountability.
