Head Trainer — Antonio Pallotta
Tony Pallotta brings over 25 years of professional dog training experience, beginning in obedience and advancing into elite working-dog disciplines including Schutzhund, protection sports, and real-world personal protection. His career has been shaped by a relentless drive to question, refine, and improve training methods beyond traditional, patterned systems.

Through extensive international training in Italy, Austria, and the Netherlands, including work within the prestigious KNPV program, Tony developed the TROT System — Trust, Respect, Obligation, Teamwork. Used exclusively at WorkingK9, this system delivers fast, reliable results and has helped produce some of the youngest successfully certified police K9s, with several advancing directly into SWAT service.
