Travis Llyod
Decoy
Travis from American K9 Dynamics, his passion for working dogs began when he was part of a CJOA Team in the battle-stricken county of Afghanistan. He worked as a Government Contractor in support of the Military War-Fighters of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Resolute Support from 2008-2016. Military Working Dogs played a vital role in Combat Theater and were heavily relied on to detect explosives, illegal drugs, and target enemy combatants. Watching these MWD’s work was truly amazing, and they were invaluable to the operation. They shared the same experiences as ground troops and would often suffer trauma, injuries, and sometimes death on the battlefield, behind the lines they would act as therapy dogs, service dogs, and loyal companions. This inspired Travis. When he demobilized and returned to the US, he enrolled and attended some of the top K9 Academies. He interned under some of the industry’s best Master Dog Trainers and hold certifications to train: Police K9 | Military Working Dogs Foundation Training & Imprinting Behavior Modification Obedience K9 CPR K9 First Aid Canine Psychology.
