Director of Southern & Military Operations Sean Lulofs (World Class Canine San Antonio)
Sean culminated his career in the Air
Force when he was promoted to the position to become the Air Force
Military Working Dog Program Manager. In this position, Sean was the Executive Manager of the Air Force MWD Program. He
coordinated with all Major Commands to manage all administrative and
operational functions associated with the largest MWD program in the
Department of Defense (DoD). He crafted and staffed
President of the United States and Congressional inquiries on the
deployment, utilization, training and final disposition of MWD's. Sean
authored policy, legal documents, publications and operating
instructions for military police dog operations and training which
affected more than 24,000 personnel. He supervised all
functions pertaining to US Secret Service and US State Department
protective service support as well as created policies and regulations
providing support to all federal law enforcement agencies. Sean
was the direct advisor to the Secretary of the Air Force and the
Department of Defense MWD Executive Agent on Air Force and joint service
issues pertaining to the MWD Program. Sean was
responsible to review and analyze intelligence regarding Improvised
Explosive Devices in order to develop MWD training, techniques, tactics
and procedures to ensure explosive training aids meet the ever changing
current threats in the theaters of combat and garrison operations. Sean
coordinated with eight federal agencies to provide 25 AF MWD teams in
support of the United Nations General Assembly to protect 192 United
Nations heads of state. Sean also directed the design and
provided technical guidance in the construction of a $4,000,000 computer
program to manage the AF dog program logistics, training and mission
assignments. Sean’s teaching capabilities were not limited
to canines as he also instructed MWD Tactics, Techniques and Procedures
to Security Forces Advanced Officer Courses as he mentored more than
120 company grade officers about MWD operations. Sean has
been identified as a Subject Matter Expert and provided analysis
regarding the actions of an MWD team’s use of deadly force at Eglin AFB. Sean examined the use of force involved in the incident and identified key lessons learned. Sean’s
excellence hasn’t only been recognized by law enforcement, he was
selected to be a representative for the Air Force on a Congressional
Committee regarding the Wounded Warrior medical care and recovery
process. His valuable insight and expertise provided personal insight about the effects of combat and the healing processes. His
inputs to the committee helped to revamp the entire Wounded Warrior
program and provide better benefits to our injured returning from the
battlefield.
Sean eventually retired from active
duty and became the Kennel Master of a 65 dog kennel as a contractor for
the Department of Energy at a classified location. Sean
managed daily operations of the kennels which included all health and
welfare of dogs to include sanitation, feedings, medications and
veterinary requirements, as well as facility maintenance and upkeep. Sean also was a working dog handler with Explosive Detection, Narcotic Detection, Human Detection and Tracking Dogs. Sean
also supervised a breakthrough in canine operations of a system which
capitalized on the merger of technology with the remarkable capabilities
of the canine. He was able to achieve an extremely high
detection accuracy and reliability rating never before attained in field
sampling for other types of detection screening.
Sean has now become a member of World
Class Canine where he has been recognized as an expert regarding the
rehabilitation of dogs exhibiting aggression towards animals or humans. Sean
is the featured handler and senior contributor for the book, “War Dogs:
Tales of Canine Heroism, History, and Love” as well having been a guest
writer for Foreign Policy Magazine.
Director of East Coast Operations Stefan Nazdam (World Class Canine Charlotte)
As a young boy Stefan spent most off his free time with his three German Shepherd Dogs in his native Czechoslovakia. At the age of 12 he started training obedience and as time progressed he studied personal protection and police K9 training. By the age of 16, in 1991 Stefan was working with local trainers and trained dogs for the local police department. When Stefan came to the United States he trained dogs for clients primarily for protection and obedience. In 2007 Stefan officially completed a Master Trainers' course for puppy development, basic and advanced obedience, tracking scent detection and behavior modification. Stefan has since received master trainer status through World Class Canine for the preceding areas, as well as patro dog training and personal protection. Stefan has also completed various apprenticeships for police training and has worked at several major training facilities in the United States.
Stefan understands that no two dogs are alike, therefore he customizes his training to each client to fit their dogs specific needs and temperament. Stefan brings a world of experience to World Class Canine and will exceed your needs in civilian and law enforcement K9 training and sales.
