Nine Realms Canine Training focuses on raising, training, and selling fully trained working canines for Law Enforcement. Unlike most large scale kennels, Nine Realms focuses on several dogs at a time, giving each dog more one on one training so that they may develop into superb working canines. The Nine Realms’ canines are all over the world, some in Nevada, Montana, Idaho, Washington, South Carolina, Virginia, and Tanzania. Head Trainer Karin Wagemann is experienced raising puppies, selecting green dogs, or rescue dogs, and training them for police work. The majority of Nine Realms’ canines are dual purpose patrol canines but we can easily train single purpose detection (narcotics, explosives, HRD, etc.) or tracking only canines. All canines are trained and certified to the American Society of Canine Trainers standards; canines can be dual certified in multiple organizations or agencies. If you are in need of a new working canine for your agency please check out the dogs for sale page or call/email for more information.
