Ep152 - Gary ”Gaz” Jackson: Exposing the Extremists in the Dog Training Industry

We had the privilege to have a very interesting conversation with Gary about his 40 years of experience in the dog training industry and some fascinating stories that have come with it.This lead to a discussion of certain 'extremists' that threaten our industry on many levels, and you may find it surprising the conclusion Gaz has come to after all these years being a service to dogs and our community. Gaz Jackson has trained in excess of 20,000 dogs in obedience, protection, or detection, supplying canine and handler training to police, army, prisons, air force, and state and federal agencies internationally. Gaz has conducted several law enforcement dog training seminars with international speakers and patrons. Gaz is an international speaker conducting seminars, events, workshops, and lectures, training handlers and trainers around the world in all aspects of dog training. Gaz now works full time as an author and speaker around Australia and overseas and provides dog training private lessons, seminars and workshops. What’s most impressive about Gaz Jackson is the number of things he’s achieved through dog training: 1st Megafauna Fossil detection Dog • 1st Bio Archaeology Dog • 1st Quoll Detection Dog • 1st and 2nd Koala Detection Dog • Trained the world’s youngest Narcotic Dog at 11 weeks of age • 1st Pigmy Blue Tongue Lizard Detection Dog • 1st Slider Turtle and egg Detection Dog • 1st Three Cane Toad Detection Dog • 1st Tobacco Contamination dog for Phillip Morris • Trained Australia’s 1st private Narcotic Detection Dogs • Trained Australia’s 1st Cancer Detection Dog • Australia’s 1st operational Cadaver dog and worked with Police for body searches You can find more about Gary's work at https://www.gazjackson.com/
