Jason Kelly of K9 Solutions Australia has earned a strong reputation as being very humble, highly capable, and zero bullshit dogman.
This is the personal story of one of the Australian dog world’s more quiet achievers, and he’s never shared his story in a public format before now. I was truly honoured that Jase trusted me to have this conversation.
Jase’s K9 training experience within the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) included a posting to an elite Special Operations Command (SOCOM) unit which involved him maintaining, developing and caring for a group of world class dogs that supported Aussie operators in some of the most demanding and complex environments and scenarios possible.
After exiting the Australian military Jason has gone from strength to strength with his own business, producing highly trained dogs that are destined for difficult and dangerous roles with agencies and organisations within Australia and abroad.
This conversation is wonderfully candid - it’s not sugar coated in any way and we hope that you can all get a real feel for some of what Jase went though on his dog training journey.
This episode’s audio isn’t as clear as we’d like due to the conversation being had over Zoom, and you’ll hear some garbled audio and longer pauses from time to time. I’ve done the best I can to edit it for clarity, but this really isn’t my skill set.
Regardless, I found this to be a great story that showcases the genesis of a true dogman.
