Co-founder of Mission K9 Rescue, Bob Bryant returns to discuss the organization's recent success and ongoing mission to return military and contract working dogs from their deployments around the world as the animal's tour of duty ends due to illness, age, or loss of work drive. In many instances MWD are reunited with their longtime human handlers but without any financial support from the US military. The situation with CWD isn't as simple as these animals typically have no dedicated handler, which is why rehabilitation and adoption funding by groups like MK9R is critical for this group of service dogs. With the recent drawn down in Afghanistan, MK9R worked with the Taliban through a third party rescue on the ground to evacuate several of nearly 50 Canadian dogs under US military control that remained after the US departure. The circumstances around the laws and absent funding over the long term transport and post service care of these animals is complex and demands public intervention to ensure these canine service members receive the medical and behavioral care and best possible lives during their years of service and throughout their post service lives. While things have improved somewhat for those dogs classified as MWD, leaving any behind with no care or in the hands of our enemies (historically in Vietnam, MWD were euthanized or set to roam the jungles rather than returned to the US) as is the usual case with CWD is unacceptable.

The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California was founded in 1928 under an act of the California Legislature to build and operate the Colorado River Aqueduct. Today Metropolitan  delivers water from the Colorado River and Northern California to its 26 member water agencies that serve 19 million people in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and Ventura counties. Metropolitan has also taken significant steps over the past three decades to reduce the region's reliance on imported water – investing more than $1.5 billion in conservation and local resources. But climate change and the state's ongoing record drought are reminders that more needs to be done. The individuals heading up three of Metropolitan's big initiatives to further the One Water concept while improving the agency's culture are here with us today to discuss what they see on the horizon. Guests on this episode are: Water Resources Manager Brad Coffey, who is the lead on Metropolitan's Pure Water Initiative; Liz Crosson, who is MWD's Chief Sustainability, Resiliency and Innovation Officer, and Liji Thomas, who is MWD Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer.

Johnson started as a police K9 handler and trainer, a member of SWAT, a Defensive Tactics Instructor, a Field Training Officer and the Officer in Charge of the Honor Guard. Johnson honorably served in the US Army as a Military Police Officer, and served as an Explosive Detection K9 Handler, Trainer, Kennel Master and Protective Security Specialist for the U.S. Department of State in support of the Worldwide Personal Protection Services contract with U.S. Diplomatic Security throughout Iraq and Afghanistan. Johnson was then a K9 Trainer/Instructor and Course Developer for ATF. He planned, developed and was the Lead Instructor for Explosive Detection Courses to a variety of domestic and International Federal Agents, LE and US Military. He trained, instructed and certified students in multiple federal agencies such as ATF, US Marshals, FBI, CIA, National Geospatial Intelligence, DHS/Federal Emergency Management Agency and many others working specifically in explosives detection. He worked with the MWD program, training over 1,000 MWDs. He was also involved in developing and instructing the agency's first off leash detection program, SEEK (Search Enhanced Evidence K-9), and the agency's first SRT dual purpose patrol/explosives detection canine. He instructed explosive detection canine courses for the US Department of State's Anti-Terrorism Assistance Program.

He continued his canine career at Lackland AFB as an MWD Trainer selecting, training, and certifying canines for the Department of Defense (DoD). In the rapidly changing MWD program, He became the first Marine instructor for a new advanced off-leash MWD capability, the Specialized Search Dog (or SSD). He trained handlers and SSDs to be successful canine teams for overseas deployments as an instructor. He attended an SSD course in Israel, training with an elite canine unit, and paired with SSD Lucca K458. After months of training, this new SSD team deployed twice to support Operation Iraqi Freedom. You can read about Lucca and her life in the book “Top Dog: The Story of Marine Hero Lucca” by Maria Goodavage. In 2010, he deployed beside 30 MWD teams to Afghanistan to support Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) while assigned to the Military Police Support Company's MWD Platoon under the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force (I MEF).

Watching the Guinness World Records' longest domino wall fall is pretty impressive. Initiated by the fall of the first domino, 42,173 more dominoes twist and turn 131 feet for 6 minutes and 12 seconds until the final domino falls. We often refer to this as the domino effect because “one event initiates a succession of similar events” (MWD). In Acts 10 we see a similar effect when one man's decision leads to many other decisions. I look forward to studying this story together and seeing how our one life can influence the lives of many others around us.

Our guest for this episode is a Marine Corps Veteran who was part of the early generation of Military Working Dog (MWD) handlers to attend a newly developed Specialized Search Dog (SSD) course at Lackland Air Force Base. During this time, the SSD was a new MWD type designed to provide an off-leash explosive detection capability. Upon graduation, this new SSD Team left Lackland and checked into his first unit with SSD Shadow K371. He was assigned to Military Police Support Company, 2nd Marine Headquarters Group(MHG), 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force (II MEF) in Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. In this episode, we discuss his journey in the Marine Corps as an SSD handler working alongside SSD Shadow in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Our Guest for this episode is a Retired Marine who spent most of his career in prominent Military Working Dog (MWD) billets. Many of his billets were held during a very active Marine Corps MWD program and directly influenced chapters in the program's history, which saw substantial deployments of MWD Teams to Iraq and Afghanistan. He played a pivotal role in the development of the Marine Corps's MWD Team Deployment Training Course at the U.S. Army's Yuma Proving Ground (YPG) in Yuma, Arizona, formerly known as the Inter-Service Advanced Skills K9 Course. This course prepared MWD Teams in all services for deployments to support ongoing operations in austere environments. In this episode, we discuss his career in the Marine Corps's MWD field and how it evolved from a Law Enforcement mindset to a combat mindset. Listener Support is now active!

In this episode of Nonprofit Architect, Travis talks with K-9 Mentalist, Ryan Matthews. Dogs are such wonderful creatures, and there is so much we can learn from them! Ryan has combined his military K-9 handling experience and proven dog training methods to successfully transform the behavior of more than 3,000 dogs. By using his K-9 Mentalist Methods during dog training, Ryan earned nearly $1,000,000 in under three years. As a celebrity dog trainer, Ryan has been featured in TEDx talks, books, reality TV guest spots, and public appearances. Ryan has dedicated his life to improving the quality of life of dogs and their owners.   Conversation Highlights:  {00:22} Introduction of Ryan Matthews {02:21} What does it look like to train a dog? {05:26} What we can learn from motivating dogs when we are motivating people. {12:27} Retention with our volunteers {15:33} Take a step back and see the bigger picture {19:27} Expanding your network {21:46} When you don't have the processes down the way you need them to be. {28:40} When you teach others you are empowered with confidence. {37:41} Healthy boundaries, in leadership. {41:10} How to delegate.     Remarkable quotes:  Every time you see them, you can't help but get excited. I was shut off from my heart and I couldn't connect with human beings. And it wasn't until I began to open my heart to dogs that I began to tap into my feelings.  And then what are we doing to maintain retention? To keep people coming back?  I think that that has to do with communication.  A military working dog is a breed that is like an athlete and extremely intelligent and that animal really wants to work.  What questions they need answering, empower them to come back with their own solutions.  If it's the same environment It's not stimulating, it's not engaging the dog will lose interest, get bored, and you're not going to get the wins, meaning an opportunity to reward the animal for doing the thing you want.      Resources:  https://www.facebook.com/IamRyanMatthews https://www.instagram.com/worldofdogtraining https://www.worldofdogtraining.com/        Bio: Ryan Matthews World of Dog Training is a heart-centered, results-driven company focused on ensuring you and your dog walk away without being tied to a leash!

Our approach to training continues to evolve. We offer 1-on-1, in-person lessons around the globe (yep, Ryan is committed to your and your K9 and will travel anywhere in the world to see you both succeed!), a growing library of e-courses, and dog training books written by our Head Trainer and Founder, Ryan Matthews. We are veteran-owned and operated. Our Head Trainer, Ryan Matthews, has been training dogs since 2002.

While in the Army, he performed bite protection training, bomb threat sweeps, secret service missions, and combat deployment to Iraq (with his MWD, Zito) where he worked with Special Forces and Infantry units. WODT has trained over 3,000 dogs with incredible transformations. We pride ourselves on creating customized training programs to best support you and your dog. Ryan has great success getting most dogs off-leash within 3-4 1-on-1 in-person lessons for your peace of mind and freedom for your four-legged friend!
