Daniel Jenkins

“Every dog has a very different and unique personality. It’s important to be flexible with training and meet the demands of both the dog and the owner.” Being able to understand people, not just dogs, is what makes Dan such a valuable asset to Falco K-9.

Dan is a former Military K-9 handler with extensive dog education and training experience. Dan has over 20 years of experience training various breeds of dogs in both a group setting and conducting private (in-home) sessions. Dan is known for his patience, understanding, and problem solving skills. He believes that a good dog instructor should not just be able to train a dog, but should also be able to become a mentor, a professional, and a friend to his clients. “Relationships are an important part of dog training.”

Being a retired LAPD Officer, Dan also has vast knowledge and experience related to various tactical scenarios, standard operating procedures, POST guidelines, and legal updates.
