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. |

Ricky - I just wanted to thank you for helping me acquire a new dog, Vigo, that exceeds all of my expecta- tions. Over the past 5 years, you've seen me working with my current dog, Rico, and I believe you saw how I utilize the dog, and what I expect from a dog. Over the 11 years that I've been a handler, I have learned to have some pretty high requirements for what I want in a dog, and I can see that Vigo already has the characteristics and traits that I need to move to the next level. In training with you and talking with you, I believe you have the best handle on what traits a dog needs to be successful, as well as the best means to train that dog to optimize its performance. Again, thank you, and rest assurred that when we need another dog, we will be coming back to you for your help.

On Feb 19-20,2007 Ricky Farley came to Connecticut to instruct a canine muzzle training seminar for the Connecticut Police Work Dog Assoc. The seminar was attended by over fifty canine teams from municipal law enforcement agencies within the state. We received nothing but positive feedback on Rickey and the training. As our flyer for the seminar said, "Rickey is considered one of the most knowledgeable trainers in the country on canine muzzle work. Rickey has a wealth of excperience in this course area, the desire, ability and skills to bring the canine to the peak of his muzzle fighting abiliity."

Thanks again Ricky. In Feb we had an ongoing narc case in which we ended up in a chase on ice covered roads, did a few spin outs and after he caught the guy Cheeto and I started to search for the drugs from his vehicle and another on of your dogs started seraching from where he was caught. It did not take long to find the 2 Kilos he hid deep down in a dumpster in his flight path. As part of the case we took over 18 people in custody, 19 plus vehicles, over 5 kilos, 90Gs in cash and all of the parties are talking and there is more to come. If it was not for your dogs we would not have the 1st kilos to spur the case on. The DEA says thanks.  |

Im a Police Officer in the Philippines and was a recipient of the Anti Terrorist Assistance Program of the US State Dept where I had my training on Explosive Detector Dog Instructors Course at ACLEOTC in 1988. It was during that year that the use of dogs in the Philippines became so important in securing the Presidential Palace, airports and other gov't facilities.The 1st batch of dogs that were trained at ACLEOTC had performed well and did a lot of accomplishments before they all ratired. In 1996, I went back to ACLEOTC to get 20 Explosive Detector Dogs in preparation for APEC where several heads of states would be coming to the Philippines.I was impressed by how Ricky trained these dogs despite of the time pressure.He showed his concern to deliver them in excellent form and condition.He personally trained the handlers in the Philippines and devoted a lot of time ensuring that the handlers and their dogs were fullly trained and ready for detection work.In 1999, I was again at ACLEOTC to get dogs but at that time I would be getting Narcotic Detector Dogs for our government's campaign against illegal drugs.In the Philippines, although there are other agencies that have detection dogs, those handlers and dogs trained by ACLEOTC are the ones most respected when it comes to reliability and effetiveness. Its the prohibitive cost of procuring dogs from reliable sources that makes other agencies rely on suppliers that provide detection dogs which give the public a false sense of security. |

I am simple ex-handler and now a Police Chief that certifies and instructs canines in Idaho. I met Ricky approx. 5 years ago. While working with Ricky he has helped me with trianing techniques and how to instruct canine handlers. Working over the past several years with Ricky I have improved as a handler, instructor and a motivator to the students I teach. Ricky also helped me become one of the most profeciesnmt tracking dog team in the northwest and we have caught a lot of bad guys. Ricky helped me and my K-9 Baron win several awards, such as 2005 Idaho Top Dog and win two Gold Medals at the Police Can-Am Games. Long story short you will not be sorry for going to Ricky for your K-9s. Ricky stands behind his dogs and has the passion that many lack in this profession. Ex-Handler Chief Keith Hutcheson |
