Today is National Police K9 Day! 🐕‍🦺🇺🇸
While Police K-9s are known for their incredible abilities and the important work they perform. Today is also a reminder that behind every working dog is a personality that loves attention, meeting new people, and making new friends.
K-9 TheIa recently had the opportunity to do just that at the Russell-Montgomery Police Family Fun Day and Car Show. Between demonstrations, Theia took some time to meet members of the community, make some new friends, and show everyone that even a highly trained working K-9 can enjoy a little attention!

This short, impromptu video stresses the importance of having a solid, reliable recall on your canine if you plan on having them off leash at all.
This is an area where we recreate every single morning. I’ve seen turkeys, deer, and the occasional squirrel out here. I’ve never seen a bear come through our exercise area. I know they’re around—I’ve just never seen one here.
Well… today was the day. 🐻
Thankfully, K9 Journey has a very solid recall. That didn’t happen by accident. It was built from a very young age through positive interaction, reinforcement, and teaching him that returning to me is always more rewarding than whatever exciting stimulus is happening out in front of him.
That foundation becomes incredibly important when you’re dealing with something you simply can’t predict.
Enjoy the video. We enjoyed the bear. 😂🐻

Today is National Dog Day, and Ace is a great representation of the dedication, loyalty, and incredible partnership that make working dogs so special. These dogs give everything they have to their handlers, their agencies, and the communities they serve.
Happy National Dog Day to all the working dogs out there and especially to Ace! 🇺🇸🐕‍🦺

K9 Apache is always intense—even when the mission is nothing more than a simple staring contest. 😂🐾
He takes EVERYTHING seriously. Blink first, lose first. 👀🐕‍🦺

When a young child asks, "Can we take the dog to see the helicopter?" the answer is always yes.
Those little moments are what National Night Out is all about—building trust, making memories, and giving kids a chance to meet the people (and K-9s) who serve their community.
Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate National Night Out with us. We had a fantastic evening, and we appreciate everyone who stopped by to say hello, meet the K-9s, and spend time with us. We can't wait to see you again next year!
