Robert McLaughlin

Owner/ Head Trainer

Robert’s journey in dog training started in 2014 when he attended the Veterans Affairs and K9 Soldiers Inc Program. During his time at his program he met his mentor who was a retired New Jersey State Trooper. His mentor was a Supervisor over 5 states of K9 Teams who responded to the 9/11 attack and was on a panel of elite dog trainers selected by the US Attorney General.

From there Robert continued his education in dog training by traveling across the nation to learn from other dog trainers and completed lecture and online courses.

Recently Robert was 1 of 3 select few to graduate the Harcum College and UPenn Working Dog Center Co-Op Program. Here he sharpened his capabilities as a trainer, specifically in Positive Training Techniques of working dogs.
