This week at the 2026 WLECHA conference, Next Level K9 worked with 20 law enforcement K9 teams to safely and effectively detect fentanyl while ignoring heavy distractors.

Alongside our partners at Florida International University, we connected scientific research with practical training, challenging dogs and handlers to work through distractions and stay committed to the target odor.

I’m grateful to the handlers who put in the work, the FIU team for their collaboration, and WLECHA for trusting us to serve this incredible community.

At the heart of everything we do is service. We train with purpose because the work these teams do matters to someone’s family.

Day 1 in the books!

We're here at the 2026 Wisconsin Law Enforcement Canine Handler Association conference, working with 21 law enforcement K9 teams on fentanyl detection and advanced training with heavy distractors.

We’re challenging these teams to stay committed to target odor, work through competing smells, and build the reliability needed for real deployments.

The stakes are serious. According to the CDC, synthetic opioids, primarily fentanyl, were involved in 47,735 overdose deaths in 2024. That’s approximately 130 lives lost every day. Although deaths have declined, the impact on families and communities remains devastating.

Through our partnership with Florida International University (FIU), we’re bringing scientific research and practical K9 training together to evaluate fentanyl training aids and collect data that can help improve training across our industry.

Our purpose goes beyond the classroom: serve the working dog industry, support the handlers and dogs protecting our communities, and put science to work for the general public.

We’re grateful to WLECHA, our FIU partners, and every team here investing in that mission.

WE WILL NEVER FORGET — 9/11

September 11, 2001 changed America forever.

For me personally, it was also the day my life of service began to take shape.

I watched ordinary people demonstrate extraordinary courage. I saw first responders running toward something everyone else was running from. I saw what real heroism, sacrifice, and service looked like.

And for the first time, I saw working dogs doing what they were created and trained to do.

Watching those dogs search through the devastation, alongside their handlers, had an impact on me that I could never have understood at the time.

It was also the day I remember having my first real conversation with God.

“God, if You’re real, use me to make a difference the way these dogs are making a difference.”

I had no idea where that prayer would lead.

I couldn't have imagined the people I would meet, the dogs I would have the privilege of working beside, the places around the world where I would be given an opportunity to teach, or the lives this profession would allow me to touch.

But God knew.

25 years later, that prayer still means something to me.

We serve a big God, and He has plans for our lives far greater than the ones we can see for ourselves.

Today, Next Level K9 remembers the 2,977 lives taken on September 11, the first responders who ran toward danger, the working dogs and handlers who searched through the rubble, and the countless men and women whose lives of service were inspired by what they witnessed that day.

We are forever grateful for the opportunity to serve.

We are forever grateful for those who showed us what service truly means.

And we will Never Forget.

From Texas to Australia, and now South Africa. 🇺🇸🇿🇦🐾
Next Level K9 Texas is grateful to be in Cape Town working alongside Alexuandre K9 to help prepare mold detection K9 teams for deployment throughout South Africa.

We’re also honored to conduct an Operational Readiness Workshop with Metro Police and members of the South African Police Service (SAPS), challenging explosive and narcotics detection teams with real world scenarios designed to prepare them for when training truly matters.

Opportunities like this are never taken for granted. We are humbled by the trust placed in us and thankful for every handler willing to learn, share, and grow together.
Above all, we give God the glory for continuing to open doors and allowing us to use this profession to serve others. 🙏

Different country. Different teams. Same mission.
Serve first. Share knowledge. Raise the standard. Prepare for the real world.

Sometimes you have to stop for a moment and appreciate the doors God continues to open.

Not long ago, Next Level K9 Texas was in Australia helping develop the country’s first professional mold detection K9 teams. Today, we are in Cape Town, South Africa, working alongside Alexuandre K9 to help prepare mold detection K9 teams that will serve communities throughout South Africa.

At the same time, we have been given another incredible opportunity to serve.
Next Level K9 Texas is conducting an Operational Readiness Workshop for Metro Police and members of the South African Police Service (SAPS), focused on preparing K9 teams for the realities they may face outside of a controlled training environment.

We will be working through realistic scenarios involving explosives detection and narcotics detection, challenging both dogs and handlers to problem solve, work through environmental distractions, understand odor behavior, make good decisions under pressure, and recognize the very real dangers associated with these disciplines.

Our goal is not simply to build dogs that perform well in training.
Our goal is to help build teams that are prepared when the training becomes real.

We are thousands of miles from Texas, working with people from different backgrounds and different parts of the K9 industry, but the mission remains the same: serve others, share what we have learned, raise the standard, and leave every team better than we found them.

None of these opportunities are taken for granted.
We are incredibly thankful to Alexuandre K9 for trusting us and welcoming us to South Africa, and equally grateful to the law enforcement professionals who are willing to train, be challenged, and continue improving for the communities they serve.

Most importantly, we give God the glory for continuing to place people and opportunities in our path that allow us to use what He has given us to serve others.
We came here to teach, but experience has taught us that when you approach opportunities like this with an open heart, you usually leave having learned just as much as you shared.

Cape Town, we are grateful to be here. 🇿🇦

Serve first. Share what we know. Never stop learning.

Sometimes the work takes you farther than you ever imagined. 🇺🇸🇦🇺🐕

What started as a vision to advance the way detection dogs are trained and deployed turned into an opportunity to travel across the world, work alongside some incredible people, and help build something that has never existed in Australia before.

Two dogs. Two handlers. Countless hours of training. Real world searches. Third party certification. National media. And most importantly, the beginning of a resource designed to help Australian families find answers when mold may be impacting their homes.

Watching Buck and Ivan develop alongside their handlers Lisa and Kristen and seeing the commitment behind Mold Dogs Australia made this trip about much more than dog training.

It was about service, collaboration, science, and raising the standard.

I’m incredibly grateful to Tracey Seymour and everyone who trusted Next Level K9 to be part of this journey. The goal was never simply to train dogs. It was to help build teams capable of doing meaningful work long after we returned home.

Australia, thank you for the hospitality, the friendships, and the opportunity.

This chapter may be finished…

but the mission is just getting started. 🇦🇺🐾

Every training day should have a purpose.

This week, we challenged the Frisco PD K9 Unit with detection scenarios designed to build confidence, sharpen communication, and prepare for the unexpected not just find odor.

Freshly slobbered dog toys as distractors.. lowering odor thresholds while building on discrimination principles... searching in windy environments that forced dogs and handlers to trust the process.... Deep, inaccessible hides requiring patience and commitment... Neutralization around pack members and other working dogs and of course Obedience to odor!

Every exercise had a clear objective, and every person on the field knew their role in making the team better.
The best training doesn't happen by accident. It happens through intentional planning, honest evaluation, and teamwork.

Just as important, every scenario included a contingency plan. Because deployments rarely unfold exactly as expected, everyone should know what the backup plan is before the first dog leaves the vehicle.

Train with purpose. Communicate with intention. Adapt when the plan changes.
