Ken Miller's Life In Dogs

Ken Miller has been serving the Atlanta area's pet resort and obedience training needs since 1978. Ken has been training dogs for 40 years. Ken has known that he would make a profession of caring for and training dogs since his pre-school days. He credits the love that his parents had for animals, combined with the role modeling of Lieutenant McCullough of the Passaic, NJ Police Department, as the main reason that he has devoted his adult life to caring for pets.

Ken has 280 years in the pet care business.  Of course that's only 40 human years, but it's enough to insure that a loving and experienced person is supervising your pet(s)' care.

Ken has also been volunteering his professional disc jockey skills and equipment to local animal related charities for many years. His favorite charities are Canine Assistants, Canine Companions for Independence, and the Atlanta Veterinary Association's "Noah's Ark".

Ken has been training dogs since 1960. He also began training dogs for law enforcement in 1978. Search and rescue, fugitive apprehension, and drug detection are his specialty, but he has also provided full service dogs to various law enforcement agencies.

His dog training accomplishments include:

· During only two years of AKC obedience competition, Ken's dogs were awarded 31 high-in-trial awards, over 100 first place awards, 5 Dog World Awards, 15 obedience titles, and an obedience trial championship. His dogs have competed in 24 states.

· In search and rescue operations, Ken's dogs have found missing people, two of whom would have died from their injuries had they not been discovered in time.

· In fugitive apprehension operations, Ken's dogs have been successful in bringing a number of lawbreakers into custody. In one case, his bloodhound, "Rufus," backtracked from an arson scene to the work bench of the arsonist. In another, in Butts County, "Rufus" backtracked from a murder scene to the home of the alleged perpetrator.

· Two of Ken's dogs were trained drug detection dogs who made a number of drug-related arrests.

· Since 1978, Ken has been taking his dogs to Atlanta area elementary schools to both entertain and educate the children about alcohol and illegal drug abuse. This program has resulted in over 20,000 children being signed up to the Fulton County Sheriff's Reserve Junior Deputies Against Drugs program.

Ken's dogs were known as the Jim Dandy© Dogs for 9 years, until Alpo© bought out Jim Dandy©. During this period, Ken was responsible for supplying the dogs for all of Jim Dandy©'s commercials and photographs for pictures on the dog food bags. As of 1995, three of these pictures are still on the Jim Dandy© bags. Ken's golden, "Mambo," is also known as "Duke," the talking dog on the Bush Beans© commercials. Ken has supplied dogs for over 120 TV commercials, plus approximately 35 still shots, for a wide variety of sponsors.
