“I participated in the rescue2recourse program in 2020 and was paired with K9 Ace who went on to become the first rescue “Pitbull” to work on the street in Pennsylvania history. Sector K9 head trainer/ president, Wes Keeling was instrumental in building our new K-9 unit as well as his staff. Wes took the time to communicate with me as a new and inexperienced handler and paired me with the perfect K-9 to match my personality and supplement my strengths. Wes not only trained me as a handler he also trained Ace who was acquired from a local shelter and scheduled to be euthanized. Sector K9 is a first-class organization and has provided me with endless support after the fact even for the smallest issue or question. The implementation of our rescue K-9 unit has led to numerous deployments and seizures (narcotics and firearms). Our program is also a fantastic benefit to the department’s relationship with our community. Since 2020, I have now become a K9 trainer through Sector K-9 and was able to pull K-9 Jack from a local shelter who is now a certified firearms detection K-9 and the second rescue “Pitbull” to work on the street in Pennsylvania history. This is the result of the hands on, quality training received from Sector K-9. I highly recommend using them if you are looking for a working dog!”

“Great experience learning a progressive training style that builds a partnership between the handler and the dog. Being able to be a part of the process and learning how to observe issues and correct those issues helps develop you into a subject matter expert. Also seeing how your partnership was in the beginning to where it can be at the end was a real eye opening experience showing you that the training style works. The team at Sector K9 was personable and willing to help no matter what and Wes showed true patience with all handlers and dogs involved. There was a minor issue with an aspect of patrol apprehension with my partner and Wes was willing to do what needed to be done to make it right. Great training and I feel apart of the Sector K9 Foundation family now.”

“Even though Harlow is retired and is just a fat and happy house dog now, we still share our training and story about Sector K9 every chance we get. Harlow not only searched and found many drugs and drug paraphernalia, but he also mended hearts and filled the gap between middle school aged kids and law enforcement. Whether he put on his therapy cap for a kid having a hard day, or put on the working cap to keep the school clean, he knew how to flip the switch quickly and easily. The only person that I can give credit for that is Mr. Wes Keeling at Sector K9! We enjoyed every bit of training (Harlow was already top notch, I needed the training) with Sector K9 and would go back in a heartbeat if we could. Thank you Sector K9 for giving Harlow a second chance at life and for giving us everything we needed to keep our school, and community safe!”
