Ep 342| Canine Coaching with Chris

This week in the Brown Water studio, we sit down with Chris Lamey of Canine Coaching with Chris, a Mississippi Gulf Coast native and former Air Force K9 handler who spent years training and deploying military working dogs alongside elite units overseas. 

🐕 From bomb detection and bite work to real-world combat deployments
🇺🇸 What it’s really like working with war dogs in Afghanistan
💣 The difference between patrol dogs, explosive detection dogs, and tier-one K9 units
🧠 Why Belgian Malinois and German Shepherds dominate military work
🏡 What everyday dog owners get wrong about training, behavior, and breed selection
🎯 How elite military K9 experience translates into smarter training for everyday dogs

This conversation goes deep into the bond between handler and dog, the realities of military K9 life, and why not every “cool” dog breed makes a good pet.

If you’re a dog owner, thinking about training, or just fascinated by how military working dogs operate at the highest level — this one’s a must-listen.

🎧 Hit play and enjoy another real conversation from the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
