Acadia Canine Academy 05.06.2021

Master Dog Trainer and Canine Behaviorist Jim Stile owner of Acadia Canine Academy-ACA K9 has been training dogs since 1990. He began with Rottweiler’s in the early 90’s, training obedience, guard-dogs and protection dogs. From 2000 to currently, he has trained GSD’s (German Shepherd Dog) in a competitive worldwide sport known as Schutzhund. His achievements are notable and many in the competitive arena. He has trained and competed on a National Championship Level numerous ti...mes placing in the top 10 and as good as 3rd Place National Champion in the 2006 USA National Championships. In 2007, Jim and his canine Xablitz Von Sulieseraad SCH3, IPO3, FH1, and KKL2 (Blitz) were National Vice-Champion (2nd place) in tracking. In 2008, he qualified and was selected to represent the USA in the FCI World Championship held in Belgium. Jim has bred and trained many GSD canines for law enforcement agencies. Jim also does special training of canines for the handicapped and disabled. He has trained and placed numerous canines with handicapped persons around the USA such as in Maine, Tennessee, Florida and New York. These canines are qualified to travel through major International airports, go into hospitals and many other public venues. The training of canines for the handicapped//disabled has been for Autistic children, wheelchair bound persons, persons with psychiatric conditions, persons with mobility problems and persons that have episodes of passing out without notice or seizures. Since the tragic event of September 11, 2001, dog training took a new direction for Acadia Canine Academy and numerous other dog trainers. As our country became more security conscious, the need for canine security services became more in demand and training transitioned towards Personal Protection Security and Executive Protection Security dogs for the general public who would protect individuals and their families who had became more at risk. There also evolved a demand for canines to thwart future terroristic attacks through odor detection of explosive materials and detection of deadly weapons. These canines came into serious demand not only in the United States but also internationally and are commonly known as T.E.D.D. Tactical Explosive Detection Dogs, and T.W.D.D. Tactical Weapons Detection Dogs. Based upon this newfound international demand, Acadia Canine Academy transitioned out of the competitive dog sport arena, and service dogs for the handicapped and began to focus more on the security services industry of canines.
