James Whiteheart
Hey everyone! I'm James Whiteheart! I first want to say thank you for stopping by our website and checking things out. I have worked in the canine industry for over 15 years now and have worked with some of the best people the country has to offer for professionals that I look to in order to further my knowledge and capability. I got started in the search and rescue canine program with North Carolina Emergency Management and from there I got straight into the working dog world. I handled two dogs in the SAR community, Foxi and Maestro. So far I have had my hand on about all things working dogs from personal protection, law enforcement, search and rescue, all the way to scent detection. Over the last several years we have been working on our protection sport dogs in preps for our breeding program that we are hoping to get going soon and a few other irons in the fire so to speak bringing more information to everyone's ear about the working dog world! The dog you see the most on our social media is Obi, I had a hand in working him for law enforcement and got the chance to co-own him and put him back on the protection sport field and it's been a blast having him back!
Nikki Whiteheart
While Nikki has been around the working dogs for 10 years she hasn’t always been hands on with the dogs. Until Arlo decided he wanted to work for Nikki over Jay so she took over his training and they have been doing great. While Jay's working or traveling she takes over keeping all the dogs safe and in their normal flow of life while in our training program.
