Rodney,  Thanks from all of us at Merced Sheriff K-9.  I have been to hundreds of hours of k-9 training and yours was by far the best for me.  The muzzle work, and situational training styles  you teach are excellent. The other deputies are raving about the agitator class, and the different exercises they encountered.  We look forward to future training sessions with you and thanks again.  Sergeant Rich Howard, Merced County Sheriff's Office
