Introduction

My name is Kenneth Licklider and I own and operate Vohne Liche Kennels, a private canine training facility headquartered in central

Indiana, with remote facilities in California and Holland. If I may have a few minutes of your time, please allow me to introduce

myself, our operations and the specific services Vohne Liche Kennels has to offer.

I am a retired United States Air Force Senior Master Sergeant possessing over thirty nine (39) years of experience as a police dog

handler/trainer and thirty years’ experience as a kennel manager. I’ve trained and worked dogs for many Government agencies,

including the State Department, the National Security Agency, the Pentagon and the United States Secret Service. I have traveled to

numerous foreign countries training dogs for scent detection, including several countries in Africa and the European Continent, the

Philippine Islands, South Korea and South America to include Guatemala and Brazil.

Upon my retirement in 1993, I formed Vohne Liche Kennels, and in twenty-three (23) short years the business has increased 1000

percent. We provide dogs for governmental agencies, be it at the international, federal, state or municipal level. As former

government employees ourselves, we believe we are knowledgeable about the needs of a government agency thus we are better able to

provide for them.

Our trainers have traveled to Europe buying German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Dutch Shepherds, Giant Schnauzers, Bouvier des

Flandres and Rottwielers for police work here and abroad. My kennel specializes in strong, social police dogs. I keep a large

inventory (300-350) of quality dogs on hand and I have the ability to import any breed trained to any specification on demand. I have

trained street and detector dogs that are currently in service with over 500 law enforcement agencies throughout the United States and

Canada to include the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, NSA, Chicago, Indianapolis, Oklahoma City, Los Angeles, and Phoenix, as

well as several federal and state prisons.

Our staff has over one hundred years of experience in training canines in explosive and narcotic detection. They are all either retired

military, law enforcement or both. We train approximately six hundred dogs per year on a facility of over 600+ acres. We have the

capability to meet all your needs, i.e. school, sawmill, residential, box trailer, vehicles, 160+ acres of tracking both woods and fields.

Our trainers are available to meet your agency’s needs, whether you want the dogs pre-trained or you want the handlers to be trained

also. We have housing for your site visit and students.

I am proud of the training methods used here at our kennels and I guarantee our training. Our detector dogs are pretrained and

reliability tested, easily adapting to a new handler. As a handler and trainer with street experience searching for both drugs and

explosives, I know the tremendous pressure of having to make the call. Our methods take the guesswork out of the equation. You

will be confident that when your dog responds there is something definitely there. If you stay with our methods, false responses are

nonexistent.

I offer extremely competitive prices and all dogs come with X-rays, medical records and guarantee. I am always available for

questions and will train with you any time.

Our kennel is certified through several states to include the Indiana Law Enforcement Training Academy, Ohio Peace Officer Training

Commission and the Kentucky Law Enforcement Council as a Law Enforcement Training Provider. We are the only private kennel

approved by the Army – AR190-12. We are also approved by the VA. All of our courses are accredited, allowing your officers to

apply the hours towards their mandatory training time. I am licensed by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the State of

Indiana to possess “live” narcotic training aids as well as with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms to possess “live”

explosive aids. I am a member of NAPWDA, USPCA, AWD, and the NNDDA.

If you are thinking about starting a program or are interested in what we have to offer, don’t hesitate to call.

Respectfully,

Kenneth D. Licklider, SMSGT, U.S.A.F. (Ret.)

THE FACILITIES

Vohne Liche Kennels main facility is located on 450 acres in Denver, Indiana. We presently have six kennels with a capacity of over 550 dogs, always maintaining 200-250 on hand at any given time.

There are two outbuildings where we con-duct training as well as a 200 x 40 indoor train-ing facility set up with 10 rooms for detection and patrol work. Outside are vehicles for nar-cotic/explosives detection and handler protec-tion work. Besides the on-site facilities we own ware-houses, homes, mobile homes and an 18 acre, 45 classroom school in addition to hotels, schools, lumber yards, impound lots, jails and private residences. They range from rural to urban and all of our scenarios are reality based. We try to expose the teams to as many real life experiences as they will receive on the street. Our facilities also include four full service state-of-the-art dormitories that officers and students can reside in while attending training. They are located in Peru, adjacent to Grissom AFB in Indiana, a mere 12 miles from the ken-nels. The dormitory has a break room, ATM, wireless internet, and a store. All rooms have maid service, cable/satellite TV and access to laundry rooms. Our VLK club (The Red Rocket) for after-hours entertainment is located across the street within walking distance from the housing. We try very hard to make the environment here conducive to learning. We feel that if we take care of the minor issues, the rest will take care of itself and you will leave here with a positive learning experience.

Your satisfaction is important to us!

Our desire at Vohne Liche Kennels is to ensure you are satisfied with our canines and services. We want you to know what you can expect when you pur-chase one of our dogs. We are interested in your thoughts and feelings about the canine and services we have provided you as well as how we may be able to improve those services for all of our cus-tomers now and in the future. We have a full service kennel and training facility rivaled by no one. We always have 200-250 dogs on hand in various stages of development. This takes place on our 450 acres training facility in addition to conducting training at 20 additional training sites located throughout the local area. Prospective customers are often surprised when

we invite them to come to our facility and hand pick their own dog. We are proud of what we have to offer and we encourage visits to ensure we match you up with the best dog possible. We have the best guarantee in the country. Period! A comprehensive health, skeletal and workability guarantee. For the first year, you receive free maintenance

training. After your first year, you can receive an intensive 2-5 day recertification course for a nomi-nal price. Most comprehensive handlers course in the

country covering every facet of canine tactics and behaviors. Also, a 3, 6 and 8 weeks trainers course is available. Vohne Liche Kennels has full service dormito-

ries with private rooms for students or visiting customers. We have the ability to provide you with dogs that

are green, pre-trained in narcotics, explosives, or patrol and/ or pre-trained with the handlers class. These are available in single and dual purpose. Proud to accept the Post 9/11 GI Bill for all train-

ing. State and Federal authorized and certified training

COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE

We are committed to one goal at Vohne Liche Kennels (VLK). To provide you with the best canine and training available! This is a lofty goal, but we are up to the challenge! Vohne Liche Kennels is a state of the art full service law enforcement and military canine training provider. We deliver a personalized commitment to excellence in all of our canines and training, result-ing in the most effective use of the team based on the needs of our clients. Vohne Liche Kennels main facilities are located on 450 acres in Denver, Indiana. There are six kennels on-site with a capacity of over 550 canines, allowing our customers the benefit of selecting a canine that meets their desires and needs. We are able to accomplish this because all of Vohne Liche’s training is reality based using our varied facilities custom designed to meet your needs. Vohne Liche Kennels utilizes over 20 distinct off site training areas on over 1,000 acres. This world class training is provided by a law enforcement and mili-tary training staff with 250 years of combined canine training experience including significant operational experience in the major conflict areas of the world. There is not a mission requirement you have that Vohne Liche Kennels isn’t prepared to train your canine and handler for. We stand by our dogs and training 100%. We are not, however, naive enough to think that everything is perfect every time. It is for this reason that we also have the best guarantee in the business. We have guarantees on health and workability as well as the skeletal system. We understand that sometimes teams, for whatever reason, just don’t work out. Let us know, and we will replace your current dog with one that you do mesh with, no questions asked. We feel this is what sets us apart from the rest. We work very hard to put you with a partner that fits you and your department’s needs and requirements. It is a labor of love and our staff takes this very seriously. As retired police officers and military members, we want you working in the real world with a canine meeting the difficult challenges faced by law en-forcement K-9 officers every day.

...OUR METHODS

Our training methods have consistently resulted in officer’s canines making street finds such as the one above. Our detector dogs are pre-trained and reliability tested, easily adapting to new handlers. We spend an inordinate amount of time on detection work because we want to be sure that when your dog responds, there are drugs or explosives there. With our system, there is no such a thing as a false response. We train all our dogs in real world environ-ments. From the beginning, our dogs are ex-posed to distractions such as animal and hu-man odors. We don’t train our dogs in a vac-uum. When they hit the streets, they have been exposed to a myriad of situations. Our dogs have become recognized by their ability to pinpoint source. VLK dogs work to

source and maintain the posi-tion until rewarded. It takes a little more training on our part, but it is worth the effort to see a Vohne Liche Kennel trained dog stick his nose in a package up to his eyebrows.

It happens consistently in over 5000 law en-forcement agencies in 30 countries. Why else would so many police and gov-ernment agencies emulate our methods? Because, we are the best and we stand by our product.
