Episode #6 with Dan Cliff of Integrity Canine

The Working Dog Depot Podcast

On this episode we sit down with Dan Cliff of Integrity Canine in Morristown, TN. Dan is a long time friend of ours, and is a retired Captain and K9 handler from the Morristown Police Department. Dan has been married for 26 years to his beautiful wife Becky and has 4 wonderful daughters. He is an active Deacon at Hillcrest Baptist Church.
Dan retired this past year after 30 years in law enforcement. He has been training dogs for over 20 years. At the time of his retirement, he was an active K9 handler as a Captain, and was in charge of a 6 K9 team unit. Aside from having trained hundreds of police dogs, and instructing at many K9 seminars, he also worked for Cobra Canine where he was tasked with training military working dogs for the Navy Special Warfare program.
During this interview, Dan shares some of his experiences in dealing with some of the hardened criminals that exist in our society, and he speaks matter of factly about the way in which some criminals casually speak about taking someone's life. As a listener, you will enjoy getting a peek into the life of a K9 handler, and how K9 deployments don't always go as planned.
Dan has trained dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds in order to enable them to be well behaved family companions. Since his retirement, most of Dan's time is now spent helping families build a new life with their pet dogs. Dan is definitely a believer in the importance of continued education. Like most successful trainers, he understands the importance of being a lifelong learner.
Please sit and have a listen. Dan is one of the most genuine and easy going guys we know. He has a quick wit about him and always has a humorous k9 story to share. You're sure to enjoy this one!!
