In the powerful and emotional conclusion of Episode 251 of the Mike Drop Podcast, host Mike Ritland sits down with former Navy SEAL John Collins for a raw and unfiltered exploration of his time in the SEAL Teams' K9 program. This episode dives deep into John's experiences with two unforgettable military working dogs, Tyson and Duke, whose alpha personalities and unrelenting drive left lasting scars—both physical and emotional. John recounts the intense challenges of training these formidable canines, including a chaotic encounter with Tyson that tested his resilience as a handler. The conversation takes a somber turn as John shares the heartbreaking story of Tyson's death in a 2017 firefight in Iraq, a loss that hit hard and set the stage for a frustrating deployment experience marked by resistance and betrayal from within his own ranks. From navigating Navy politics and leadership failures to his eventual decision to leave the SEAL Teams after nearly 12 years, John reflects on the toll of service and the struggle to find purpose in civilian life. With candid insights into military culture, the evolving role of drones in warfare, and advice for the next generation of SEALs, this episode is a gripping testament to the bonds forged with K9 partners and the challenges of transitioning from warrior to civilian. Don't miss this unforgettable finale to John Collins' story, filled with heart, grit, and hard-earned wisdom. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Surviving 2.5 Hell Weeks and 6 BUD/S Attempts | Ep. 251 In this episode of the Mike Drop Podcast, John Collins delivers an unfiltered, brutally honest account of what it really takes to become a Navy SEAL—and what happens when the dream nearly dies. This isn't your typical war story. It's about failing hard, facing humiliation, and coming back swinging. Raised by a hard-charging state trooper in small-town Maryland, John always knew structure. What he didn't know was how far he'd have to go—how much he'd have to lose—before finally earning the Trident. From getting dropped at BUD/S to guarding terrorists in Guantanamo Bay, John's journey is a masterclass in grit, redemption, and what it means to serve with purpose even when the path doesn't go according to plan. Through multiple Hell Weeks, soul-crushing setbacks, and years of grinding through Navy politics, John fought like hell to get back into SEAL training. And he made it. But what happened after is just as powerful. From sniper to breacher to K9 handler, to a complete reinvention in civilian life—John proves that purpose doesn't end with a uniform. ---------- Heartland Steak Stock up with a custom steak box or grab a grill-ready bundle —either way, you're getting the best.

Three Words That Strike Fear in Vets and Owners Host Laura Reeves is joined by Dr. Marty Greer talking about the three words that strike fear in both veterinarians and owners. “These three things are what can take a normal, easy, lovely day at the veterinary clinic and turn it upside down and cause clients to have to wait and then swear at their veterinary team because they don't understand why they have to wait because they had an appointment,” Greer said. Those three words, according to Greer, are GDV (bloat), Pyo (pyometra) and HBC (hit by car). Refresher on these three critical care situations: Pyometra is a uterine infection. “Fevers are almost never seen with pyometras,” Greer said. “And it's a hard thing to understand how you can have a uterus full of pus and not run a fever. But apparently the uterus is a privileged organ and it allows for foreign things to happen in it. That could be a pyometra. That could be a puppy. “So unfortunately, they almost never run a fever, so don't rely on that to be a symptom. If you were waiting for a fever to happen, it means that the uterus probably just ruptured and the dog now has a belly full of puss instead of just a uterus full of puss. And when your belly is full of puss, you're in big trouble. And so, if you're waiting for a temperature, you're decreasing your dog's odds of survival. “If your dog was recently in heat, they aren't feeling well, they're not eating well, they're perhaps drinking buckets and buckets of water, maybe vomiting, maybe have a vaginal discharge, maybe not. Do not wait for a fever (to take the dog to the vet).” GDV (gastric dilatation and volvulus) is bloat, where a dog's stomach fills with air and may twist, causing a very rapid cascade of life-threatening events in the dog's system. HBC (hit by car) and other trauma is covered in our K9 911 First Aid seminar series linked here.

In the heart of Hot Springs National Park, a bustling tourist haven in Arkansas, a routine Sunday afternoon erupts into chaos when 31-year-old Jonathan Allen Scott strides down Central Avenue, shotgun in hand, murmuring to himself and claiming to be a Secret Service agent. As panicked 911 calls flood in, officers race to confront the armed man amid crowds of vacationers—but what begins as a tense standoff spirals into a deadly shootout, leaving an officer, his loyal K9 partner, and Scott himself wounded in a hail of bullets and ricocheting shrapnel. Delve into the gripping true story of that fateful July day in 2019, exploring Scott's troubled past riddled with arrests, probation violations, and untreated mental health struggles—from minor misdemeanors to assaults on law enforcement. Hear from witnesses who tried to help, local shop owners shaken by the violence, and the officers who faced unimaginable danger. Uncover how a federal investigation led to Scott's 20-year prison sentence, and reflect on the broader questions of mental illness, gun access, and the split-second decisions that define life-or-death encounters. And on the Happy Ending, a woman is convinced that her "medicine" can only be taken orally... using a syringe, keystered away in a... private place. Support the show: https://patreon.com/1159media

Send us a textI've known of the gentleman in this episode for over 30 years, but just actually met him face to face around 6 months ago. Ken is one of the pioneers as it relates to working k9's in the state of North Carolina. It is likely that he introduced the Malinois to police work in NC. The description below does not come close to describing his accomplishments or contributions to the police K9 community. If you don't know his name there's a good reason. From my perspective Ken doesn't have a huge social media footprint. The reason is that he is still very actively working procuring and training dogs and not focused on self promotion. It was an honor to pick his brain and stroll down memory lane. Orchard Knoll K9 was started in 1983 by Ken Mathias. Ken was with the Raleigh Police Department and started Raleigh's Police K-9 Program. Ken's original donated dog failed on the street prompting Ken to sell his truck and purchase Juno a Belgian Malinois imported by Gerry Lapham from Germany. Juno became the first Malinois in the United States to achieve the United States Police Canine Associations PD1, PD2 and Detector Dog certification. Ken continued to import dogs from Europe for Police Departments across the United States providing over 5000 top quality dogs for police service. Ken continued with the Raleigh Police Department rising through the ranks across multiple divisions until retirement at the rank of Division Commander (Major). Upon retiring from Raleigh Police Department Ken went on to become a special agent with the NC Department of Special Investigations serving as their Program Coordinator and K9 trainer. Ken is now retired from the SBI, but working diligently procuring and training dogs at Orchard Knoll. Contact Ken at: ken@orchardknollk9.com or (919) 622-4807.We are pleased to have Vested Interest in K9's as a sponsor.

Newport Police Chief Alex Lee is here as we talk about raising money for Wags n Wiggles, being tased, buying used police cars, Newport PD getting their K9, and more.

Jimmy Hatch grew up in the mountains of Utah and joined the service on his seventeenth birthday. After serving four years in the US fleet, Hatch completed SEAL training with Class 164 in 1990, launching him into a twenty-two-year career with the SEAL teams that would take him across the world. Deployed many times, Hatch was involved in over 150 direct action missions in all the places you've heard about and a few you haven't. His military career ended in 2009, when he was severely injured on his final mission. His life was saved by his teammates and the working dog on his team, marking the beginning of a long and challenging recovery. Following eighteen surgeries, Hatch left the hospital facing a new battle with mental health struggles.

When Mark "Oz" Geist returned from the 2012 Benghazi attack with 26 shrapnel wounds, the battle was far from over. Dr. Phil speaks with Mark and his wife Krystal to unpack the physical and emotional toll of surviving what should've killed him—and the silence that followed. From the rooftop firefight that killed three of his teammates to the years of being told not to speak, the Geists share how they turned isolation into action, founding the "Shadow Warriors Project" and “Her Warrior Heart,” the only nonprofits serving private military contractors and their spouses. This episode exposes the forgotten side of military service: the spouses on suicide watch, the PTSD that doesn't qualify for care, and the dogs that do what the system won't—heal trauma.

In this episode of Police K9 Radio, we sit down with Aaron Taylor, a nationally recognized leader in the dog training world and the founder of Ridgeside K9 LLC. Aaron is a prior Infantry Marine Sergeant with a 100% combat-disabled rating. Leveraging the Yellow Ribbon Program, he attended The George Washington University, earning degrees in both the Science of Policing and Psychology. Following his military service, Aaron spent 16 years with the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office, retiring in 2018 while assigned full-time to K9 on a full-time SWAT team. Over the course of his career, he served 14 years in special operations and investigations, including time in Narcotics, SWAT, and K9. Aaron is also recognized as a certified expert in the 4th district, having testified in both state and federal court. He has been featured on national platforms such as The Dr. Phil Show and on numerous podcasts, where he encourages, mentors, and helps finance law enforcement and military veterans as they transition into entrepreneurship. After stepping away from policing due to growing conflict with administration and declining community support, Aaron leaned into his lifelong passion for dog training. What began as a small venture quickly grew into Ridgeside K9 LLC—now one of the nation's most recognized and fastest-growing dog training companies. In this episode, Aaron opens up about the emotional and practical challenges of leaving law enforcement, building a business from scratch, and what it takes to create a mission-driven company. He emphasizes the importance of mastering your role in law enforcement while also developing skills outside the badge—so you're ready for the next chapter when it comes. We also talk about Aaron's mission to employ and empower former military and police professionals, giving them not only jobs, but purpose and opportunity. His journey is a blueprint for others in the K9 and law enforcement communities who are ready to build something of their own.  Topics Covered: Why Aaron left law enforcement after 16 years Founding Ridgeside K9 and scaling a dog training business Navigating burnout and lack of administrative support Creating a mission-driven company that supports police and veterans Advice for officers: build skills beyond the badge Follow Aaron Taylor & Ridgeside K9: Instagram: @ridgesidek9_llc Thank you to our sponsors: Ray Allen Mfg. - Rayallen.com Inukshuk Performance Dog food - INUKSHUKPRO.com Black Jacks Leather - BlackJacksleather.com Sauna Box - Saunabox/k9.com Key word "K9" for discount Connect with Us: Instagram: @policek9radio663 Email: Trainers@Dtack9.com

Six-year-old Lilly and four-year-old Jack Sullivan vanished from their rural Nova Scotia home on May 2nd, 2025. Their disappearance sparked an immediate and massive search effort, involving hundreds of volunteer searchers, K9 units, helicopters, drones, and specialized RCMP units, meticulously combing miles of the dense, challenging terrain near Lansdowne Station.  Despite these efforts, there have been no confirmed sightings of the kids, and it seems like the best evidence they have is a child-sized boot print and potentially a piece of blanket belonging to one of the children.

The JEMS Report - How Critical Incident Response Canines Are Changing First Responder Support   JEMS Managing Editor Jeff Frankel sits down with Janeen Baggette, the founder of K9s for Freedom and Independence, to explore a unique approach to first responder well-being. With a background as a military medic and law enforcement handler, Janeen shares how her nonprofit trains specialized Critical Incident Response Team (CIRT) canines. These dogs differ from typical therapy and patrol dogs—they're specially conditioned to operate in chaotic environments, offering emotional support while maintaining confidentiality crucial for legal and occupational safety. Janeen walks us through the rigorous selection and training process, highlighting their ability to detect cortisol levels reflecting human stress. Through heartfelt stories, she illustrates the quiet impact these canines have on victims and first responders alike. Challenges around funding and awareness remain, but Janine's vision for expanding certified teams across the country offers hope for better communication, reduced suicide rates, and stronger peer support in these high-pressure fields.

Sean Houle is a former police officer and K9 handler who served in North Carolina for nearly a decade. In 2021, he was critically wounded in the line of duty—shot twice at point-blank range with his own service weapon. Since medically retiring, Sean has become a sought-after speaker on faith, resilience, and the lifelong commitment to service.. In this unforgettable episode of Zone 7, Crime Scene Investigator Sheryl McCollum welcomes retired Officer Sean Houle for a powerful firsthand account of survival and purpose. Sean recounts the harrowing night he was ambushed by a suspect from an earlier call—an encounter that would change his life forever. He shares the moments of chaos, the struggle to stay conscious, and the clarity that surfaced as his life hung in the balance. Together, he and Sheryl discuss the split-second decisions officers face, how department policy shapes those choices, and the unbreakable bond between handler and K9 partner. But Sean’s story doesn’t end on the pavement. During recovery, a surprising moment on a family beach trip reminds him that his calling to serve wasn’t finished—it was just taking a new shape. This episode is a profound look at duty, faith, and the quiet strength behind the badge.

Send us a textNo special guest for episode #50. We reflected on the previous 49 episodes and discussed changes that we have made to our detection and tracking. Some of these changes came from ideas from some of our guests. Some of these changes have proven to be very helpful with certain dogs, but the one constant is that they are not all the same. What works particularly well for one dog may not work so well for the next. So, as we have said many times on the podcast you have to train the dog in front you. With more tools in our tool belt we now find ourselves evaluating what method works best with each particular dog. There is not one method that works perfectly for every dog. Many of the things we do are nuanced. One person may do it slightly different and yield a different result.  The more you learn the more you evolve and grow. These are the things that makes this work so interesting.  We appreciate each of you and thank you for listening. Please continue to support our sponsor.
