182 City of Miami K9 Cop, Master Dog Trainer, Podcaster, and Entrepreneur Garret Wing! (Part One)
Description
Welcome everyone to part one of my two-part interview with retired City of Miami Police Lieutenant and Master Dog Trainer Garret Wing.
Garret Wing grew up in a law enforcement family. His father, mother, stepmother, and stepfather were all city of Miami cops. His father and stepmother were K9 officers. It makes sense that Garret wound up entering the police academy at the tender age of nineteen.
Garret was assigned a K9 after only two years on patrol and quickly rose through the ranks of the police department promoting to lieutenant and worked a variety of highly sought-after specialty units.
After eighteen and a half years, Garret did something unheard of for most cops in his position. He left the police department and went into business for himself.
Taking this leap of faith and following his passion for training dogs, he founded American Standard Dog Training and DIY K9. He has now devoted his life to training civilian dogs and has turned this passion into a very successful seven-figure business!
Please enjoy this entertaining and informative interview with a true entrepreneur.
In today’s episode we discuss:
· Interviewing his father on his podcast.
· K9’s role in the United States Secret Service.
· Doing the unthinkable, leaving a secure job in the police department after 18 ½ years to pursue his dream job.
· Growing up with a family of cops and police dogs in the house.
· Garret’s career path with the City of Miami Police Department.
· Garret taking his first bite with the sleeve when he was eight years old.
· What it is really like to wear the bite suit and be chased and bitten by a police dog.

Police Stories: Street Cop to Sergeant is the unfiltered story of my years as a Milwaukee street cop. The dark calls. The dark humor. The partners who became family. And the price
