Tom Moir | K9 Training Center

Tom Moir brings decades of unparalleled experience and expertise to the world of dog training.
His journey began in 1996 when he joined the British Army, and in 2003, he found his true calling in canine training after transferring to the Royal Army Veterinary Corps (RAVC). During his military service, Tom worked alongside Detection Dogs on active tours in multiple countries, including two deployments to Afghanistan.

After leaving the British Army in 2011, Tom continued to make a significant impact in the field of dog training. He played a crucial role in securing the construction of the Athlete's Village for the 2012 London Olympics by training the Explosive Detection Dogs (EDD) and Handlers deployed there.

Tom is an experienced instructor and has taught many students, including members of the Abu Dhabi Police in Positive Reinforcement Training techniques and dog handling.

Tom’s expertise also extended to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where he trained United Nations Security Department personnel to handle and maintain EDDs. Closer to home, he worked alongside the UK Border Force in Northern France, training and handling Live Body Detection Dogs (also known as Migration Control Dogs) and leading a highly successful puppy program to ensure a steady supply of trained dogs for ongoing contracts.

Now part of the K9 Detection Training Team, Tom brings his wealth of experience and passion for canine behavior to support the team’s mission of excellence. With his proven track record, he is dedicated to fostering strong, positive partnerships between dogs and their handlers, ensuring the highest standards in detection and training.

Johan est une véritable encyclopédie ambulante lorsqu'il s'agit des pedigrees des bergers malinois. Grâce à ses années d'expérience en tant qu'éleveur de haut niveau, son rôle au sein du FMBB, en tant que retraité, en tant qu'entraîneur, ... on peut faire aveuglément confiance à quelqu'un qui connaît son métier. La qualité avant la quantité.

The K9 Training Center is truly unique. I have seen many training centers all over the world. It doesn't surprise me at all that Johan has accomplished this. It is the logical consequence of his many years of activities. Only the best is good enough for Johan. I am a little jealous, but he is very lucky.
