Whether the challenge involves a family struggling with a difficult dog, a police K-9 team experiencing performance problems, an organization concerned about workplace security, or a correctional institution evaluating its security practices, Captain Flynn’s approach remains consistent: Identify the problem. Understand what is causing it. Develop a practical solution. Teach people how to make that solution work.
Drawing on decades of professional K-9 experience, Captain Flynn provides training, evaluation, troubleshooting, and consultation for police, government, corrections, and other working-dog programs.
Training and consultation can include:
A major emphasis is placed on the dog-handler team. A highly capable working dog is only effective when the handler understands how the dog learns, communicates, searches, and performs under real-world conditions.
Captain Flynn works with individuals and organizations involving service dogs, therapy dogs, emotional support animals, and other assistance or support roles.
Services may include evaluating dogs for suitability, temperament and behavioral assessment, obedience and public behavior, task-related training, handler education, and helping owners understand the important differences between service dogs, therapy dogs, and emotional support animals.
The emphasis is always on creating a safe, reliable and appropriately trained dog-handler team.
One of the most important decisions in dog ownership happens before the dog ever comes home.
Captain Flynn helps individuals and families select dogs whose breed characteristics, temperament, energy level, size, drives, and behavioral needs realistically match their household and lifestyle.
That may include evaluating breeds, breeders, puppies, adult dogs, rescue dogs, or individual dogs being considered for adoption or purchase.
The objective is simple: don’t just choose a dog you like—choose a dog that can successfully live the life you actually have.
Captain Flynn provides security consultation and training for companies, businesses, organizations, and their employees.
Having provided training and consultation around the country, he brings decades of law-enforcement, military, corrections, K-9, supervisory, and security experience into practical programs designed around the needs of each organization.

Programs can be developed for executives, supervisors, security personnel, or an organization’s entire workforce.
With decades of correctional experience, including senior leadership and K-9 operations, Captain Flynn provides specialized consultation and training for correctional institutions and criminal-justice organizations.
He has been called upon to assist institutions with security planning, staff development, emergency preparedness, operational procedures, and specialized training.
Areas of consultation and instruction include:
The emphasis is on practical solutions developed from real operational experience—not simply theory from a classroom.
Captain Flynn specializes in canine behavior and problem diagnosis, working with both the dog and the people who live with and handle that dog.
Rather than simply teaching commands, the process begins by determining why the dog is behaving the way it is. Training is then designed around the individual dog, its environment, its drives and needs, and the abilities and goals of the owner.
Services include obedience and manners, aggression and reactivity, fear and anxiety, leash problems, destructive or unwanted behaviors, socialization, household issues, and other behavioral challenges.
The goal isn’t simply to train the dog. It is to teach the owner how to understand, communicate with, and successfully manage their dog long after the training session ends.
With more than four decades of experience in dog training, law enforcement, corrections, K-9 operations, and security, Captain Flynn provides specialized training and consulting for pet owners, working-dog handlers, law enforcement agencies, correctional institutions, businesses, and organizations. His approach focuses on identifying the problem, understanding why it is occurring, and developing practical solutions that work in the real world.
