As a SAR K9 handler, competitive dog sports participant, and former military member, my decision to start DogBase may seem like second nature. Beneath the surface, however, is a story of hardship and hope.
My journey began when I was diagnosed with life-threatening kidney failure. As my kidneys shut down, my future was hanging in the balance. It was during my dialysis treatments that I got Echo, a puppy I would train as my service dog.Ā
During these trying times, I grew a deeper sense of respect and admiration for the amazing abilities of working dogs. As I continued to train Echo for SAR missions, I began paying closer attention to the bigger picture behind working dog training. The lack of performance-driven technology within the space inspired me to start DogBase alongside my co-founder Ordan, a long-time friend who supported me in my time of need.
As I reflect on my journey and the kidney transplant that saved my life, I am inspired by the incredible potential of working dogs across specialties. Now, Iām committed to transforming the future of working dog training for the better.
