Summary
In this episode host Jeff Meyer sits down with Mike Kmiecik of Sheepdog Guardian for a wide-ranging interview that pulls back the curtain on canine case law research, jurisdiction-specific training, and running a national K9 education business. Mike shares his path from 28 years in law enforcement — nearly 20 years as a working K9 handler — to inheriting and expanding Terry Fleck’s legal research platform and turning it into a practical resource for handlers and attorneys. The episode weaves in personal perspective: Mike’s early interest in policing, his long career as a handler, the difficulty of balancing family life with the demands of K9 work, and the decision to retire from patrol to pursue training full time.
