He has trained the country's most prominent trainers. His forty-three years of training dogs full-time doesn't include twenty-one years when he raised, handled, and showed dogs before he decided to train problem dogs and their owners.

Presently the Captain is living in West Palm Beach, Florida still helping owners and their dogs live in harmony, in-between writing his column for the AKC Gazette, judging dogs, giving seminars to dog trainers and owners, and publishing the "Aggression Newsletter."
