SARAH CARVER
Sarah joined the United States Navy right out of high school from Cheyenne, Wyoming. She wanted to join K9 since she started, and everyone told her that was never going to happen. She was persistent, spent her off time volunteering in the kennel, making connections, and not taking “No” as her final answer. Three years in, and she finally got what she was working so hard for. Sarah spent the next five years as a Military Law Enforcement Officer and Military Working Dog Handler.
Sarah's experience includes handling dual purpose bomb dogs, single purpose narcotics dogs, K9 training, and K9 veterinary care. She shares stories about her first two dogs (both of whom were 12 years old, and could care less about her), her first green dog (a dog that shouldn’t have been working, but it taught her a lot!), a scrappy little Jack Russel Terrier (and why she feels obedience is still important, even for the little guys! The JRT made such an impression on her, he ended up being her favorite to work).
Sarah was an instructor/trainer with Brad at Pacesetter K9 and has since started her own company CJC K9 and is traveling the country decoying and instructing at K9 seminars.

Sarah will be conducting training in problem solving, protection, decoy training and obedience.
