Brad Thompson – Police K9 Handler

I’ve known Steve Scott professionally since about 2007. As the former Instructor/Trainer of the Fort Worth Police K9 Unit, I utilized Scotts Police K9 as one of my sources for acquiring good quality dogs. Steve is a solid, highly knowledgeable trainer in his own right and I always enjoyed my interaction with him and seeing the quality of dogs he was importing.

We are in love with our new dog Brody!! Words simply cannot describe the thanks we have for Steve Scott and his company, trainers and dogs!! Brody is the most well behaved, trained, loving and astute dog I️ have ever owned in my life! Brody has already been to Walgreens, Target, Whole Foods, the Hair Salon and he was a perfect gentleman. Thank you Steve for blessing us with Brody and making me feel safe!!

Jeff Warrant (Belgian Malinois)

Not sure I can say anything else that hasn’t been said from the other reviews. I’ve gotten two dogs from Scott’s K9. Both are simply amazing. I think Steve’s unique skill/differentiator is learning about his clients and being able to pair the right dog – not just by need, but also personality. I believe that helped us connect with our dogs quicker.

Kristen Flanagan (German Shepherd)

My family and I came across Scott’s Police K9 online. Stephen Scott is very professional, efficient and personable. The K9s for sale were difficult to choose from, being they were all beautiful and impressive. Mr. Scott made sure the K9 we chose fit our family of four, with two small children. Mr. Scott was, and continues to be, available for any questions. Compared with other K9 security companies, I highly recommend Scott’s Police K9 over any other.

Melissa Adams (Belgian Malinois)

I’m a single mom with 4 children and wanted to find the perfect dog for a pet as well as protection purposes. The first time that I talked to Steve Scott he immediately knew which of his dogs would be a good fit for us and he couldn’t have been more right. Flipper was personally delivered by Mr. Scott himself and from the first minute he was there he was already part of our family. I take Flipper to work with me every day and he is able to transition between fun family time at home to quiet work time flawlessly. Flipper displays a loyalty and obedience that I have never seen in another dog. He is loving and gentle but yet I know that he wouldn’t hesitate to give his life to protect myself or my kids. I have never felt safer than when I have him by my side. To me, that is priceless. From our first contact until today Steve has been readily available to answer ANY questions that I might have. No matter how ridiculous they might be. The buying process was super simple and I could not be more pleased with this purchase. I didn’t have any handling experience with dogs and before Steven even finished the two day training course I felt like a pro. I would recommend Scotts’ Police K-9 to anyone who is interested in a highly trained, well mannered and over all excellent dog. Thank you!

John Fowles (Belgian Malinois)

It is my pleasure to write a review about my experience with Scott’s Police K-9’s. I must say dealing with Mr. Stephen Scott has been a great experience. He is the real deal! I was fortunate enough to find his website. I have been looking for a protection dog for about a year. Never having a dog like this made me go out and do research on different dogs and number of websites. I am the type that does my homework before I buy. I wanted an obedient dog that I could take with me anywhere. I work a lot of late hours and thought it wouldn’t hurt to have a protection dog with me. Plus I have two daughters that like to run at night and I would feel much better with a protector.

I searched and searched and was never happy with any of the people I spoke to meaning other businesses out there selling dogs. I felt like I was being given some cheesy sales job from these other businesses and all I felt was they would tell me anything to sell me a dog. Most that I spoke to said I could come pick a dog up from them or they would ship it to me with a video or some instructions on how to. For me this just didn’t sit right so I decided to keep looking.

I was lucky enough to find Scott’s Police K-9’s. I looked through his site and there is a lot of great information here if you read through it all. So I filled out the online information form and Steve called me right away. I was very impressed with his immediate response, As soon as I spoke to Steve I immediately thought “finally someone who really knows what he is talking about”. Steve is a NO BS guy and trust me this is the guy you want to deal with. He tells it exactly how it is and I can’t tell you how valuable that is when making a purchase like this. Steve has an impressive background he proudly served our country in the U.S. Military and he is also a police officer and has decades of experience with these dogs. He is tough as nails just like his dogs but he has a big heart and really cares about his dogs and clients and that is very clear and you see this in his work and the way he runs his business.

Steve’s service has been excellent. Anytime I have a question he has been there with a prompt answer before, during, and after the purchase. He wants to make sure you and the dog are happy. Steve and I discussed my needs and was able to match me to a dog. Their was no arm twisting sales job, no lies, no BS. We decided on the dog and Steve told me he was going to personally deliver the dog, again very impressive. Included in the cost of my dog was delivery and 2 days training. Steve delivered the dog as promised. I spoke to him on a Saturday night and I had my dog the following Saturday, how can you beat that? Steve made me feel very comfortable purchasing the dog. He told me that he delivers all his dogs that way he can make sure that you are happy and the dog is the perfect match. He showed up with my new best friend and in minutes the dog was already taking to me and very friendly. Imagine how stressful it is for a dog to fly in a plane for 2000 miles then to get off the plane to meet its new master. Not this dog he is amazing and all the credit must be given to Steve. Most of my review is dedicated to Steve because he is the man behind these fantastic dogs.

Let me tell you a little about my dog, He is exactly 100% as Steve described. He is the most obedient dog I have ever seen. He is such an awesome dog and always wants to please. Its so amazing that he is such a friendly loving dog to all family and friends, but make no mistake when you need him for protection he is all business, just a fantastic incredible dog. He has settled in with me so fast I feel like he has been my dog for years and I know he will be the best friend I will ever have. Let me just finish by saying my new dog is the most fantastic dog I have ever come across in my life. I would not give him up for anything ever!!! Trust me when I say you will not be disappointed ever with a dog from Scott’s Police K-9. Thank you so much Steve!!

Dr. and Mrs. Subramanian (German Shepherd)

Dear Mr Scott, I had to write to tell you what a wonderful experience it has been working with you and your company. First impressions mean a lot, especially to a novice in the world of protection dogs. I found your company online and from the first call, I knew I was in the right place. The staff answered my calls promptly and answered all of my questions. They took the time to assess my living situation and suggest the dogs for me. I was nervous, with many questions. They answered every call like it was the first. Very polite and knowledgeable. Once we had settled on a dog- the buying experience was a breeze. Transfer of funds and documents was smooth and easy. I was provided with a contract that detailed exactly what I was getting. And I even received pictures of my dog as I was waiting for her. The day she was delivered was fun and informative, as I was taught how to speak with and handle my new best friend. Once again, even after delivery, my calls were answered each and every time. Never was I left high and dry or to fend for myself. It is obvious that this company really cares about both their dogs and their clients. “And the dogs?” I saved the best for last. They are beyond awesome. I purchased a male and a female. They were absolutely everything they were purported to be. Steady, even, stable dogs with spot on obedience and even a sense of fun. They can pass for family pets only—that is how kind and gentle they are. But make no mistake—their protection work is impressive. My husband is away from home a lot and I never have a moment of fear since my two dogs arrived. They are fabulous dogs. I would not trade them for anything and I have not one moment of regret. My quality of life has gone up 200% since they arrived. And finally, Mr Scott—as the owner of the business, you have been a pleasure to work with and get to know. It is obvious that you love what you do and care about both your dogs and your clients. The dogs are highly trained but in a way that doesn’t break their spirit. Their joy is intact and evident. That takes a great deal of compassion and skill. Thank you so much for my fabulous dogs. I will never go anywhere else should I need another dog.

Mark Acedo (German Shepherd)

If you want a REAL protection dog – then call Steve Scott. The dog I received was nothing short of a police dog: very high drive and very protective. But the dog was also never handler or people aggressive which made for a perfect combination.

Angie Kenedy (German Shepherd)

Words cannot describe the amazing impact our Dutch Shepherd has on our lives. From the moment we met our dog Arco, we saw his professional training and dedication to our safety. Arco’s acute training and breeding have given him the tools to hone in on my serious health issues. Once again he’s gone above and beyond the call of duty. I never leave home without him. Whenever we do business with any company the most important thing is customer service. During our purchase, delivery and after-sales communication has been impeccable. We have recommended Scott’s K9 to all who have thought of getting a Protection Dog. He is the best weapon in this crazy world we live in.

Felisha Bennett (Belgian Malinois)

Steve, I wanted to say Thank you! For always answering my text or calls, for giving great advice, for checking in on us, for making every step in our process easy ( purchase, delivery & numerous questions). Holex is an AMAZING good looking animal with great instincts and heart of gold. We’ve been together a little over a month now and our bond is so strong. Holex is very protective and is a great running partner. We’ve been in the woods, at dog parks and on running/ hiking trails and he’s always focused on the task while ignoring other dogs passing by. Holex is able to remain focus on what I need him to do because of the level of training you’ve provided to him…. Outstanding! Thank you again for my well trained, protective running partner. We’re currently in training for a half marathon!

Kai Chen (German Shepherd)

We are thrilled with Cash! He adapted to our family with confidence and ease. He joins in our activities with enthusiasm, incredible obedience and self control. Every day is a joy as he surprises us with his abilities, agility and devotion to us. One wouldn’t believe Cash’s ability to do protection work given his “puppy” like playfulness. When we take him out for walks people comment on how beautiful the color of his hair is and how well behaved he is. I am amazed by Cash’s intelligence and his understanding of commands in addition to carrying them out to perfection. When playing ball and Kong (which he loves) he is intense, eager, coordinated and great fun for us. Steve Scott is exceptional. He knows how to pick extraordinary dogs and is a superb teacher both to the dogs and their owners. We are extremely impressed with Steve’s skills and character. We were very impressed with Steve’s professionalism, his confidence, knowledge and his patient demeanor in dealing with Cash and with us during the training period. I cannot say enough great things about Steve and Cash. Steve told me after our first phone call that a Belgian Malinois that he has would be a good match for my wife and me. I was skeptical at first given the amount of research and conversations I had with other dog trainers saying that this breed wouldn’t be a good dog for a first time handler. Steve enlightened me about the Belgian Malinois. He has also been attentive and patient with me (helping me over the phone) during the entire process. We are deeply grateful for this wonderful dog. I investigated numerous competitor companies for a family protection dog that can not only protect but be 100% friendly and obedient. If this is what you are looking for then nothing comes close to Scott’s Police K9 and the individualized attention given to the dogs and prospective owners.

Joelle Rogers (German Shepherd)

AXA was personally delivered to me by Stephen Scott in January of this year. Not only is she an outstanding and extremely well trained dog, but Scott had a special request from me that was extremely critical before I could introduce AXA into my home. I have two Jack Russel TERRIERISTS that AXA had to tolerate. And that is no easy task. Scott’s kept AXA another 6 weeks and had her live in the house with multiple small dogs. She has adapted beautifully and tolerates the TERRIERISTS well. She and I are joined at the hip. And she does sleep in bed with me.

Terry Stump (Belgian Malinois)

I just want to say how very well pleased we are with our our protection dog provided by Scott’s Police K9s. We talked to several different K9 protection dog providers before deciding to work with Steve Scott. He stood out as being very knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. He asked the right questions to determine what we were looking for in a protection dog. Our dog was delivered by a very knowledgable and personable trainer. He spent almost an hour talking to us about our dog and his needs and training, before he actually introduced us to our dog. The trainer spent two days with us, teaching us how to work with our dog (the dog was already very well trained; we just needed to be “trained” how to command him!).

Our dog responded to our commands on the very first day. On the second day, we were working off leash with him. He has settled into our family very well, is very affectionate and very well behaved. If I hadn’t seen him in his “attack ” mode, I would never believe he was capable of being so aggressive. We have been especially impressed by the follow-up support. The trainer who delivered our dog has stayed in contact with us, and has promptly answered our questions regarding training/correcting our dog. He has been a tremendous asset and we appreciate his ongoing support (I’m sure Steve would provide the same level of support. We just contact the trainer who personally delivered our dog because we now know him).

Our dog has already proven that he understands his role as a protector of our family. I wouldn’t hesitate to go anywhere with him by my side. I can’t even go outside to walk our other dogs without him being upset. He sits watch on the porch while I’m outside, otherwise, he sits inside and barks. Excellent dog! My baby! My protector!!!

Officer Brian Evans (Belgian Malinois)

I had the pleasure of meeting Steve Scott a little over three years ago. I explained to Steve the needs of my Police Department and his professionalism and extensive knowledge was immediately apparent. Steve provided us with an exceptional dual-purpose malinois who was “street ready” and performs his duties at a high level in a tough urban environment. We got more than we hoped for and needless to say, obtained another Malinois trained by Steve. Steve Scott continues to share his extensive knowledge with us and has personally come to the Philadelphia area to assist us with training and certifications.

D. ANTHONY (Spring Valley, Nevada)

Scotts k9 provided our family with a quality level 3 protection dog that does everything as specified in our contract and more. Our family highly recommends purchasing a level 3 protection dog from this company, the entire process was very easy from start to finish. Scotts K9 even after the purchase is always available for questions. Our dog has fit into our family very quickly and we couldn’t be happier.

TERRI HELLER (BELGIAN MALINOIS)

I was unaware of family protection dogs until I went in search for a “companion” dog for our little girl, Lucy. Lucy is four years old and suffers from a long list of medical challenges – her main diagnosis is Cerebral Palsy. She is non-ambulatory and non-verbal. Our wish was for Lucy to have a dog that would be her best friend but also protect her when she is ready to go to school. My search led me to Steve Scott. I had a very long, in-depth conversation with Steve over the phone about protection dogs. Steve really took the time to educate me on the capabilities and the purpose of protection dogs. Girl in leopard print coat Lucy and I often drive far distances to see specialists. My husband and I also have three sons so it’s not always an option for me and my husband to travel together with Lucy to her appointments. The week after I spoke with Steve, Lucy and I ran into a very scary situation on one of our trips. I was separated from Lucy at a desolate gas station with an attendant that had ill intentions. I was overcome with fear that if anything were to happen to me, Lucy is helpless. She cannot run and she cannot scream for help. Fortunately, we were able to get out of the situation unharmed, but all of the conditions were right for something to go very wrong. This was a Friday, I called Steve Saturday morning. I explained to Steve what happened and we determined that our need was more than companionship for Lucy, we needed protection. Steve initially had a dog in mind for our family, but during training he determined she wasn’t the best fit so he introduced us to Maize. Maize is a perfect fit! While her obedience is unbelievable and her desire to work and protect is strong, she is also very gentle and loving with our children. She has been a wonderful addition to our family! It has been a real pleasure working with Steve. Just a small amount of time with Steve, and it was quite obvious that he has a passion for his work and his knowledge of the business is top-notch. Steve has taken the time to make sure that we were comfortable with Maize and has been available and patient for our many questions. Just a cursory search of the various websites and the horror stories associated with so many protection dog companies, it is easy to see how lucky we were to find a great one right in our back yard. Overall, we couldn’t be any happier than we are with the service, professionalism, and quality of Scott’s K-9 and that comes directly from Steve Scott. We can’t thank him enough.

RICK DAVIS - POLICE K9 HANDLER, MOBILE AL (BELGIAN MALINOIS)

Just want to let everyone know that my experience dealing with Steve Scott was one of the best I have ever had. I purchased a dual purpose Malinois from Scott’s Police K9s and my K9 Bert is one of the best I have ever handled. Steve was very professional and went out of his way to accommodate my schedule and my needs. I do not believe you will find a better company to deal with anywhere in the country than Steve and his company Scotts Police K9s. It was an honor and a privilege for me meeting and dealing with Steve on my purchase and he is now a cherished friend as well. Contact him for all of your trained K9 needs, you will not be sorry.

SHAWN ENGBRECHT - CEO, CASS GLOBAL SECURITY

As an organization tasked with the Personal Safety of CEO’s, Ultra High Net Worth Individuals, Royalty, and members of the Diplomatic Corp, CASS Global is not in a position to work with anything but the absolute top tier of parallel service providers. The stakes are simply too high.

We engage directly with Scott’s K9 for the straightforward reason that they are the absolute best in their respective niche. The easiest way to expound on this is simply to state that everything they touch works, all the time. We’ve had zero negative feedback from clients who are referred to Scott’s K-9 by us. Due to our operating parameters, our relationship with our handful of partners is a critical part of our modus operandi. To that end, Steve and his team emerged the unanimous choice after an exhaustive vetting and testing process. In the years since then, we have never had any reason to regret our decision.

Like us, Scott’s K9’s is easy to work with, direct, and accountable for their actions. Our clients are invariably pleased as Steve exceeds performance expectations on practically every occasion.

CASS Global ponders long and hard before drafting reference letters such as this one, for one’s level of Corporate excellence is directly tied to those one associates with. In the case of Scott’s K-9’s, we couldn’t write this letter fast enough.

Should you wish to discuss our experiences with Steve and his organization directly, you may reach me at Shawn@cassglobalsecurity.com.

OFFICER JASON DOWNS - BUTLER UNIVERSITY POLICE DEPARTMENT K-9 HANDLER/TRAINER

It is with well earned respect, I confidently recommend Scott’s Police K-9. I had the good fortune of meeting Stephen Scott several years ago during a business transaction of Police K-9’s. Steve and I have been friends since. I have learned a lot about Steve over the years, and I can tell you, he is one of the most honest and reliable persons I know. Steve always strives for excellence when choosing a K-9 partner for his clients. He backs up what he says and will never lie to make a sale. He wants only the best dogs so he can be confident his clients will have a loyal and loving dog for years to come!! I have personally seen Steve reject dogs because they did not live up to his standards. He is very knowledgeable of the K-9’s he acquires. Steve would rather sell only one great dog then sell 10 dogs he knows will not work!! He is top-notch in his profession. When our department needed a trained explosive dog we went straight to Steve.

THOMAS ACKERMAN (BELGIAN MALINOIS)

I would like to thank Steve Scott and his wonderful company for my amazing Protection dog Rex. I called and researched probably 10 companies before speaking to Mr. Scott. The other companies lacked knowledge and most had no true experience with Police Dogs or Protection Dogs. After speaking with Steve Scott it was clear that with him I would get a highly trained family member. My new best friend came with Steve and another trainer and we did 2 days of training. By the time I left, I felt like a pro with my new best friend. We have a busy household and 3 small children. Rex is not only protective, but so obedient and loving to the whole family. I’m truly amazed by the follow up support as well. Steve checks in just to see how we are and is always available for any question. I can not praise this company enough we are so thrilled we are actually buying a second dog so one can stay home with my wife and kids and the other go along with me to work. Do not hesitate to purchase a dog from Scotts Police K9. They are by far the best in the business.

JOSHUA POTICHA (BELGIAN MALINOIS)

I would like to thank you and your company for my new dog Ki. When I decided upon Scotts K-9 for my purchase of a family protection dog and companion, I had researched many companies throughout the United States and concluded from testimonial and experience that Scotts k9 would be the correct choice. I waited one month before writing this letter to get a grasp on the reality of how special and amazing of a dog I had purchased. This letter is difficult to write as every expectation I had was met and far surpassed anything I could imagine. The months leading up to receiving Ki, Steve was in contact with myself the whole time giving me updates on the dog and information on handling the dog when received. Upon delivery of the dog, Steve and his associate arrived in South Carolina with complete professionalism and gave me a in depth training course and socialization skills with my Malinois. The bond between myself and the dog was within one day! Ki responded to my commands and wanted to please even though my Dutch was quite sub-par for her standards. The dog beyond her intellect is an absolute beautiful standard of the Belgian Malinois breed as I am reminded by anyone who comes in contact with her. The compassion and drive the dog expresses to myself is like none I have ever experienced from any dog I have owned or encountered in my life. After receiving my dog, Steve has been in contact to check the status of her and to answer any questions I might have and I know Steve will be there without a doubt any time I might need his assistance in the future.

In one month after receiving her I have taken Ki on four airplanes, traveled to three states, multiple cities and a four-day road trip throughout the desert of Southern Utah. On each airplane, car and in the airports, she was calm and attentive to all my commands despite the massive distractions all around. Not only did Ki behave with upmost manners she was the best companion I could ask for during my travels. Throughout the travel days in two very large airports across the country we encountered many “trained” service dogs who did not come close in comparison to the obedience and affection of Ki.

With the obedience and affection completely beyond expectation there was now the question of the personal defense and how she would react in dangerous situations and when a threat presented itself. Ki and I went on many long walks in the late hours of the evening throughout areas and parks of the city that I would not have gone out to before without an armed escort. Ki immediately was aware of the situation and completely alert to all her surroundings. Without any fear or apprehension, she walked as instructed in command as my personal bodyguard. Upon every encounter of all strangers she was alert of their presence many moments before I noticed a possible threat. She showed no sign of aggression to strangers but they knew she was watching their every movement and without a doubt would defend her owner’s life with her own, and I truly believe that.

Steve, I cannot thank you enough for my new family member Ki and I would recommend your company to anyone who is looking to purchase the absolute best companion, perfect standard and obedience of the Malinois and without a doubt a personal full-time family bodyguard for life.
