Qualifications

Bob Holmes attended the Maryland State Police Patrol Dog Academy in the Spring of 1989. Bob was a Police K9 Handler and Trainer and went on to instruct and train Police Dog Handlers. Almost immediately, Bob realized that pet dog owners could benefit from the techniques he learned from the Maryland State Police Academy, and began offering private lessons as well as classes for non-police dog owners. Within a few years, Bob was recognized as a Master Dog Trainer and an authority on training. In the Maryland Court System, Bob was also regarded as an expert witness in dog related cases. Due to Bob specializing in addressing canine behavior problems, the Wicomico County Maryland Animal Control Department made it a policy for an owner to contract with him in order to retrieve a quarantined dog involved in a bite case.
