USDA National Detector Dog Training Center

The center was suggested by someone associated with them. I had been looking for a dog over a year. It seemed that most of the shelters had a lottery system which was like being on an emotional roller coaster. Find a dog, make preparations to bring home and you draw the short straw...not a good feeling at all. After contacting the center(email), got a call in 24 hours and was told a dog was available! I immediately made an appointment to visit with Charley, a very handsome yellow lab/pink nose. He totally exceeded my expectations. Mild manners, highly intelligent and extremely obedient. Charley had been microchipped, treated for heart worms, rabies, fleas/ticks and any other dog diseases that exist, with a very extensive medical file. I spent about 3 hours with Charley on that visit and made an on the spot decision to adopt. He is truly a dream come true for a dog. He rarely barks, house trained, excellent companion, loves to go for walks/runs, great car passenger, does not bark at other dogs or people. He had been in training for 18 months and because he has allergies did not make the cut. Their loss was our gain (and did I say he was free $$$)! We are so happy to give Charley a forever home as he is a total blessing for us. Thank you national dog training center!
