I attemded the handlers course Nov.- Jan 2008/09. The knowledge gained from this course has helped me greatly while working with my dog Arros. This school is very challenging both mentally and physically but I believe it is second to none. I enjoyed the time in Alabama so much that I happily went back to the school from Oct.-Dec. 2009 to obtain my instructor certification. Ricky Farley has a vast knowledge of dogs and how to train them. In addition to that Ricky has very good knowledge of what a Police Officer working the street may encounter and works all of his training around this. The idea and philosphy behind his training is unmatched. If you are in the market for a new dog in your department I would recommend Ricky and his school. |

I attended the Coweta County Class (09-01) earlier this year and was partnered with my wonderful K9 "Donja". "Donja" is trained in narcotics detection and tracking. Sgt. Mark Storey and Ricky Farley are wonderful instructors and truly have a way of explaining things so that it was easy to comprehend. This course however is very mentally and physically challenging but at the end is one of the most rewarding experiences of my law enforcement career. My first night on the street with my new partner she tracked down a fleeing felon and since then has made 14 felony arrests including other tracking arrests and narcotics arrests. I would highly recommend Alabama Canine to anyone wishing to add a K9 to their department becasue you will not be disappointed in the finished product that you hit the streets with! Thank you Alabama Canine, Ricky Farley, Sgt Mark Storey and Sheriff Mike Yeager for making the Coweta County classes possible!

In the spring of 2009 I attended Ricky's Canine Instructor School. I work for a medium sized department in Idaho with four canine teams. Sending me to this school was a large investment for my department and we had high expectations of how well this would benefit our canine program. We have not been disappointed!!! I returned from Alabama with the knowledge on how to take our canine program to the next level, plus I returned with my new dog who is turning out to be an excellent dog. I would highly recommend this program to any department that is looking to improve their canine program and wanting to maximize their canines productivity. Thanks Ricky!!
P.S. This course is a hands on program. If you decide to attend this program you will handle and train dogs 10-12 hours or more a day. This is definitely not an academic, class room type of class. The only way to learn to train dogs is to be at the end of the leash, every day, all day long. It was great! |

One can tell a good instructor and someone who knows their stuff when every time you go to a class they are teaching; you learn more each time and are able to apply it.
I got my second canine, Zeke, from Alabama Canine in 2006. I learned a lot while I was there for the handler's course. Ricky has been coming to our IPCA seminars for the past 7 yrs. He always comes up with good scenarios, where both the handler and the dog learn. I just attended a 3 wk canine patrol class in Meridian, ID(3-2009), that Ricky taught. Zeke and I definitely improved as a team after the class. Ricky, Thanks for all that you do to try and make police dogs and their handlers better teams. Sincerely, Jeanette and Zeke  |

I attended the handler course taught in Coweta County GA(Feb-May 2009). This school was one of the most challenging yet rewarding experiences of my law enforcement career. Ricky Farley and Sgt Mark Storey are outstanding instructors who made it easy for me to understand what is needed for my dog. Now with my highly motivated partner "Aaros", working the streets just got a lot more interesting. Thanks for all you do for the law enforcement community guys, and a special thanks to Sheriff Yeager for hosting the school.

I completed the Narcotics Handler Course at the Coweta County Facility in April 2007. Ricky Farley and Mark Storey are the best dog trainers I have ever seen. When I started the training I knew very little about Police K-9s, but by the time I was done I was a competent/proficient K-9 Handler ready to hit the streets with my AWESOME high drive dog, ARIS. 
Ricky, Aris is doing great things over here...We appreciate everything you do! |

Our Department purchased a "green" canine from ACLEOTC. WIthin six weeks, the dog was ready for the streets. On his first night, "Viggo" found a bad guy in a building and got his first apprehension. Ricky's experience and knowledge has truly benefited our Unit. |

I have just completed the Patrol Dog Handler course through ACLEOTC at the Coweta County Georgia facility. I am amazed at the amount of information I have obtained not only in handling my dog, but also information on the drives and character traits that affect him every aspect of his day to day life. With the knowledge that I have obtained from this course, I feel fully confidant that I will be able to professionally handle my dog on the street and testify in court with no problems. Ricky Farley and Mark Storey taught the material in an easy to understand way and were able to apply everything we learned to something that has happened on the street. Having completed this course (Test's included,) makes be feel as though I have accomplished something Great! I would strongly recommend to anyone that is looking for a detector or Patrol dog to go with ACLEOTC! Thanks Rickey and Mark for your excellent instruction! See you guys at ManTracker!

I have been associated with Police K9's for over 20 years. I am currently the lead handler and trainer for my Department and a State Certified Instructor and K9 Evaluator. I have found no one more knowledgable about all aspects of Police K-9 than Ricky Farley. His dogs are above and beyond any other vendors or trainers I have come across.I plan on replacing our entire Unit with ACLEOTC dogs as they cycle out and retire. Thanks Ricky, you have taken Police K-9 to the next higher level. |
