Pros

Working with dogs was fun

Cons

-The training in moyock was below average compared to other K9 companies. -The pass rate is 95% because they hire a 3rd party TSA grader. -AMK9 threatens you to pay back $20,000 for training if you do not complete 1 year of your contract. -All dogs are not trained for obedience, unlike police or tsa dogs. -Most dogs do not listen and result to using methods like choking the dogs to "out" the dogs. -Low pay compared to other K9 companies. -They will hire you as part time, then continue to work you 50+ hours without benefits and $20/hours. -Underqualifed personal as management makes operation more stressful than needed. -Monthly odor trainings were ineffective, rushed and half assed every month. -Low retention and high turnover rate.

Pros

Good entry level job as K9 handler

Cons

Regional manager doesn't know how to manage operations, and supervisors are completely useless. Training outside of moyock is BS. They hype up K9 detection but in reality these dogs cannot find anything. Overall a joke of a company.
