ABOUT US MEET US AND OUR PHILOSOPHY
WHO IS WORKING DOG CONSULTANCY?
Hello, my name is Patrick Petersen.
I started my workingdog career in the KNPV in 1999. Certified a couple of dogs within the PH 1 program. In 2002 I became a patroldog handler for the Dutch Police. In this period I also became a certified decoy for the police. I have been a fulltime instructor for the Dutch police patroldog since 2008.
WHAT IS YOUR HISTORY?
I took sevaral courses such as:
- Recognition and understanding of behavior patroldogs
(Tinley Academy) - General basic dog training
(Tinley Academy) - Basic KNPV trainer
(Tinley Academy) - Masterclass coach KNPV
(Tinley Academy) - Cynological instructor
(Tinley Academy)
I have worked for 12 years as an patroldog instructor for the k9 department in the city of The Hague and currently I am working in the center of the Netherlands as a patroldog instructor for the Dutch Police.
THE START OF WDC
I started growing and learning. But most of all, I wanted to share my knowledge.
In 2021 I started my own company: Workingdogconsultancy. For my company I gave given several seminars for police patroldogs troughout the United States and the United Kingdom I made several trips to Jordan to the King Abdullah Special Operations Training Center and their Jordanian national k9 center.
Troughout my company I also instruct multiple narcotic detection handlers and personal protection dogs.
What separates me from others is that I don’t teach sportdog programs but use my operational experience as a patroldoginstructor to train the operational workingdog and it’s handler. I strongly believe that it is not just about the dog but the combination between workingdog and handler which defines the better teams.
