BENITO OLSON began his naval career as a master-at-arms serving in Bahrain and Kingsville, Texas. His work with military dogs opened the opportunity of a lifetime to serve with SEAL Team Six for multiple deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan. He earned a reputation as a go-to handler for dogs at the tip of the spear and earned multiple decorations such as a Bronze Star with Valor and Purple Heart. After medical retirement from the navy, Olson started Patriot Dog Training for law enforcement, estate protection, and household pets.Information on Lewis Souffront: https://thefallen.militarytimes.com/navy-explosive-ordnance-disposal-technician-1st-class-luis-a-souffront/3370677https://www.fallenheroesproject.org/post/luis-ariel-souffrontLink to purchase Benito's book. https://ballastbooks.com/purchase/the-underdogs/Work Cell 830-229-7141Personal Cell 210-278-4686Benny@patriotdogtraining.comwww.PatriotDogTraining.comWe are pleased to have Hold The Line K9 Conference htlk9.com as a sponsor of the The Working Dog Depot Podcast.
