Jeremy Doty
Dog Trainer
Jeremy began his interest in dog training at an early age. He grew up helping his mother train dogs with the Southeastern Michigan Dog Obedience Group. Later on, Jeremy and his family worked with and volunteered for Leader Dogs for the Blind. This included dog training, puppy raising, and working with the breeding program in which they hosted many litters which involved early development of puppies. Jeremy has worked with many different training facilities, trainers, and philosophies while training dogs in basic obedience, agility, retriever hunt tests, odor detection/shed hunting, and E-Collar training.
Jeremy has always had in interest in Labrador Retrievers and has owned/trained five of them, as well as one German Shepherd. Jeremy has been employed in law enforcement for the past 28 years, where he is a field training officer who trains new police officers and officer’s entering specialized/tactical units. Jeremy and his Lab Kali have been through police K9 courses and Kali is MCOLES certified in remote E-Collar for the police K9. In 2021, Jeremy met Paul Connelly through a local dog trainer and was excited when Paul asked him to do what he loves to do – train people and their dogs. “The great part about dog training is getting those calls/texts from clients with their amazing story of what their dog had just done, and always ending with the training is working”.
Jeremy lives with his wife (Becky), two daughters, and Kaiah (15 year old yellow Lab), Kali (6 year old yellow Lab), and Kion (1 year old rescue). Kali is one of our demo dogs and your sure to meet her if you do any training at J&S K9, LLC.
