K9 Solutions Center

What K9 Solutions Center does

K9 Solutions Center, doing business as Miami Valley K9, is a professional dog training company headquartered in New Carlisle, Ohio, founded in 2001 by Jeff Turner. The company delivers obedience training, behavior modification, scent work, tracking, and personal protection dog training to a mixed client base of civilian pet owners, law enforcement agencies, search and rescue organizations, and personal protection clients. Operations are anchored by a 14-day Board & Train program and the sale of trained working dogs, particularly police bloodhounds and tracking dogs.

The business is differentiated by credential rather than technology: it holds certification as the only American Working Dog Council certified training center in Ohio and operates as an AKC Canine Good Citizen evaluation facility. Founder Jeff Turner is an active police officer and Deputy US Marshal with more than 20 years of K9 handling experience, and the company reportedly trains the majority of tracking dogs in Ohio and nearly all police bloodhounds in the Eastern US. Recent investments include a state-of-the-art training facility, a K9 Trio Training Package, a Personal Protection Training program, and trainer certification courses that extend the offering beyond direct services.

Revenue is generated through quote-based training programs, sales of trained dogs, and trainer education courses, with no public pricing or disclosed financials. The company is privately held, founder-owned, bootstrapped, and operates with 1–10 employees. Customer acquisition is driven primarily by reputation — a 4.8-star rating across 270+ Google reviews and two decades of operating history — supplemented by credential-driven procurement from law enforcement buyers.
