Canine Tactical

Canine Tactical offers intensive, military-style training programs for elite working dogs focused on active shooter response, threat detection, and subduing hostile individuals. Their program includes cloning dogs from proven genotypes to replicate high-performance traits. Training is not available for general pet owners and is exclusively tailored for institutional and professional security use.

Pricing Summary

Pricing is not publicly listed. Products such as custom harnesses and kick bags are priced (e.g., $600 for a kick bag), but training programs for Active Shooter K9™ teams and cloned puppies require direct inquiry via contact form or phone. No packages or rates are disclosed.

Canine Tactical is a dog training business founded by Joshua Morton, a former Navy SEAL and the first military working dog handler for SEAL Team Four. The company specializes in training elite working dogs for high-risk security roles, including active shooter response for schools, businesses, and homes. They offer Active Shooter K9™ teams trained to detect and neutralize threats using tactics honed in military operations. Canine Tactical also breeds cloned puppies from proven working dog genotypes, claiming these clones can perform at the level of four-year-old dogs from birth. They sell tactical dog gear such as custom harnesses, hip leads, and kick bags. While they emphasize military-grade training and cloning technology, their services are not aimed at typical pet owners seeking basic obedience or behavior modification.

The business does not offer general dog training for families or pets. Their focus is exclusively on high-level security K9 units for institutions and individuals requiring extreme protective capabilities. Their training methods are rooted in military discipline and are not described as using positive reinforcement or other common pet training techniques. Their cloned dogs and tactical programs are designed for professional or high-threat environments, not household companionship.

Canine Tactical is not a conventional dog trainer for average dog owners; it is a provider of specialized, high-cost security K9 solutions and tactical equipment.

The company also promotes a documentary titled “Joshua,” set for release in February 2025, which follows a civil rights trial involving a dog’s killing, but this is unrelated to direct training services.
