"Me and my K-9 Partner (Niko) seized 505 pounds of meth. with a street value of 22.9 million dollars, on Thursday October 11, 2007, at approximately 1400 hours. The load of meth was in the rear of a tractor traler load of produce, mixed with the load. K-9 Niko was used to locate the load of meth. Niko alerted and indicated strongly. The DEA contacted us and advised us that our load of meth. is the largest load of meth. seized in the United States, and that includes the country's ports. Pictures are available on the Desert Snow web-site. The very next day 12,000 dollars in U.S. currency was located and seized with the assistance of Niko's alert and indication. Niko's hard work and dedication to her job makes this criminal patrol job worth it's wild. Just to give you an update. Since in service Niko has hit $12,000, $15,000, 50 pds, 10pds, 2 kilo's, and 505 pds of meth. I'm going to competition with her in January, I'll let you know the results. P.S. That’s right, I do love my dog & this job"

"My experience at Little Rock K-9 Academy was unbelievable. Due to the Cartel violence at the Mexico border, I chose to fly to my seminar instead of drive. You all took care of my hotel accommodations and car rental. Because of Tony Smith’s notoriety, I received very nice discounts on both. The training experience was second to none. I look forward to my next visit."

Enrique Gonzalez, Cikan Canines, Guadalajara, Mexico

"I attended a 2 week Handler’s Course at Little Rock K-9 Academy and I chose to stay in Little Rock over the weekend instead of making the long journey back home. On Saturday I experienced problems with my car over heating. Tony was able to arrange free towing for my car to a local repair shop. The Saturday service was prompt and the service was impeccable. My dog was outstanding and the rest of the training was awesome. This says a lot about the customer service at LR K-9, They never quit working for you!!!"

Officer Gabe Johnson, Clarksville, TN Police Department.

"My Department is purchasing 9 dogs from LR K9 Academy in groups of 3. I was in the 2ND group and I’m EXTREMELY satisfied with my dog. It’s as if Tony knew exactly what dog was for me. What impressed me the most was: 1. Multiple trainers with lots of knowledge and street experience. 2. NO down time, You guys ran our butts off day after day, all day.3. The best part–the different restaurants we went to each day were unique, the food and service was great. I still haven’t figured out how each day at noon we walked right in the nicest and busiest restaurants in Little Rock and Tony had arranged immediate seating for 6-8 Handlers and 3-4 Instructors and received police discounts. WOW!!! "

Officer Doug Klinkhammer, Port Arthur, TX Police Department

"The training I received here is some of the best training I've received and I have been to a lot of different canine training schools. We are very pleased with the 2 dogs we previously purchased, I will submit a request to procure 4 more dogs from you guys. We have over 350 schools to search."

Officer Richard Frankie, Houston,TX I.S.D. Police Department.

"The first thing that a Canine Handler should do before he comes to little Rock K-9 Academy is, forget everything he has ever been shown about working a dog. The methods and theories that you guys have really simplify the way to handle a police dog."

Chief Paul Jasso, Santa Clara, New Mexico Police Department

"You guys are the best, You took care of the financing of my dog, the hotel accommodations while I was there in school and I got a very good dog. I enjoyed the variety of close training sites you guys had and you and all of your Instructors know their stuff and really have a great sense of humor."

Officer John Lair, Alorton, IL Police Department

"Because of your strict acceptance policy for dogs, I had to wait 2 months before you guys found me the exact dog (looks, sex, size, drives & temperament) that I was looking for. You guys got me exactly what I was looking for in a Narcotics & Tracking dog, I am 100% happy with "Max." My dog is the most requested K-9 among Texas DPS and the Police Departments in my County. My Sheriff has told me that when we purchase another K-9, It will definitely come from Little Rock K-9 Academy."

Deputy Jimmy Gifford, Leon County, TX Sheriff's Department
