STAN SMITH
Stan Smith came to Cappel Canine to train his dog in 2016, and never left!
After training his now well-known dog, Rocko da Don, he enrolled in Cappel Canine’s apprentice program. He already had a good foundation in obedience training but jumped into tracking and detection work. As I have several abandoned dogs waiting for adoption, I require each apprentice to work with and train at least two dogs. Stan trained six.
His real passion is with security/patrol dogs. He does maintenance training for local police departments and was recently invited to and spent fifteen days with the Danish military dog training school, in Vyborg, Denmark.
Stan has certified Rocko as a K9Pro Sports “Security dog”.
Placed or won every protection competition entered in 2016-2019.
Placed third in the invitation only Space Coast Police K9 Competition in Cocoa, Florida.
Placed Second in the Patrol division at the K9Pro Sports World Championship.
Trained or done maintenance work on drug detection dogs for three departments.
Stan became a full time trainer at Cappel Canine in February 2017.
He frequently plays the role of decoy during training sessions, and greets everyone with a big smile.
