Kynotalk by Kynotec #005 Cameron Ford from Ford K9 about his journey in the K9 industry, why failiure is important and more!
If there was a "Workingdog Handler / Trainer Hall of Fame" Cameron Ford would be one of the guys already being in there.
He's been around policedogs ever since he was a child, getting his first impressions from his neighbor who worked with dogs. Later being a military dog handler in Germany, then a police dog handler, SWAT operator, instructor and so on up until now, where he runs Ford K9, has two employees and a lot of dogs, projects and passion for his work.
The cool thing about Cameron is, that he never quit being curious on things in the dogtraining. He trained with other animals in a project for the Navy, also with several Seal teams but more important, he began to find dialogues with researchers, scientists, people from the lab and managed to build a bridge on how to implement the theoretical knowledge to the practical side of things. Now he works with different universities, supporting different projects and helps gaining data himself also by doing the "cognition classes" and many more.
You will definitely enjoy this episode and it looks like Cameron will be back on the show for more!
