TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN;
I HAVE BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH SID MURRAY FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS DURING WHICH TIME HE HAS ASSISTED MY UNIT ON NUMEROUS DRUG SEARCHES WITH HIS DOGS. THIS WAS DONE ON A VOLUNTARY BASIS BY MR. MURRAY AND ON MOST OCCASIONS WITH VERY LITTLE NOTICE.MY MEMBERS HAVE FOUND HIS DOGS TO BE VERY WELL TRAINED AND INVALUABLE DURING THESE SEARCHES. MR. MURRAY MAINTAINED A HIGH CALIBER OF PROFESSIONALISM AT ALL TIMES AND WAS IN CONSTANT CONTROL OF HIS ANIMALS.

Mr. Murray has a tremendous reputation in the industry particularly as a detection dog trainer. I am aware of a number of Law Enforcement Agencies in the United States who try to deal exclusively with Mr. Murray.

In 2013 I got in touch with Sid Murray because I wanted to start my own company in canine narcotics detection. In our first conversation Sid asked me what kind of canine I wanted to work with and what I wanted to get out of my dog. We agreed to meet and pair me with a dog to start my training. I got to Sid’s training facility in early 2014. Sid’s canines are already trained in either narcotics, accelerant, bed bugs, human remains, and ammunition and explosive. Upon your arrival he pairs you with the canine that would suit you and you start your own training with this canine. Sid is very good at helping you understand the dog’s job and how you fit into it. Essentially your job is to guide the dog into doing the best job it can. I spent a week training with Sid at his facility which ended with a certification exam with the American Working Dog Association. The AWDA is a global certification which permits you and your canine to work everywhere in the world. Sid is very adamant about making sure that both you and the canine are able to work together and complete the job before you go pass the exam. Every year I go and get re-certified by A.T.S. K9 at his facility. I have worked with two of Sid’s canines and both of them were excellent at their jobs. Sid’s expertise in training both canine and handler really helps in starting your own canine detection business. Not once did I feel lost about what was expected of me and my canine, because Sid is an amazing teacher. For Sid your training does not end when you leave his facility, and in my experience he is always there to guide you through obstacles that you encounter in your own endeavors. I am eternally grateful for Sid’s continuous help and expertise. I would recommend A.T.S. K9 and Sid Murray’s to anyone looking to get into canine detection with someone experienced and reliable.

To Whom It May Concern,
My name is Brian Cutlip I am a Deputy Sheriff in Ohio with 18 years of service. I have been an explosives detection k-9 handler with my agency now for a little over 9 years. I just finished up my 1st year with my second dog, both being trained by Sid. The first bomb detection dog I handled was Cori which was trained by Sid and also was my first dog as a handler. I received Cori fully trained and let me tell you her training and drive was like no other and as a first time handler she (Cori) helped me learn and did an amazing job for 8 years. Cori averaged 600-700 uses yearly and passed state, national and federal certifications with ease all thanks to her training. My current partner Anna as I said came to me in February of 2016. I spent 5 days with Sid and Anna after her training was complete. I wish it was a month simply because the knowledge Sid has of the dogs and training techniques were endless. I brought Anna home and immediately ran her through a state of Ohio required certification and as I expected Anna did amazing and was certified then sworn in by my department.
I have attended multiple group training exercises and seminars around the state with hundreds of other agency k-9 teams and have had countless compliments on both of my dogs and how they focused and performed top notch.
I just cannot say enough about ATS K9, Sid and his team’s knowledge, dog training skills and willingness to pass many years of training and experiences on to the handler during their training with him. I look forward to many more years of business with them.
Sincerely:
Deputy Brian E. Cutlip

ATS K9 DETECTION DOGS, SID MURRAY.
We were lucky enough to have Sid from ATSK9 DETECTION DOGS in September 2015 to instruct at seminar. He worked with medium and strong drive dogs from military and police. He corrected focus and indication at source of odor.
We have continued with suggestions and it has improved our training program greatly. His books are as he says.
We are looking forward to have another seminar with Sid this year
Thank you Sid for all your help, you are very professional.

We have been using the services of A TS K9 for several months. Sid and his team are very capable, friendly, professional and discreet. While recently discovering a bed bug issue we were referred to Sid Murray of ATS K9 by Orkin Canada.
Working with the dogs to eradicate these elusive pests, Sid and his team have provided us with peace of mind. Within a few weeks of treating our rooms we invite the K9 team back to verify if our efforts are successful. By allowing the dogs to pinpoint the affected areas we are better equipped to have the treatments applied effectively.
The expertise of this talented team have saved us a lot of time and money.
Thank you

Sid & Marg Murray- ATSK9
Due to the wildfires in Fort McMurray, AB which destroyed our home and put our business on hold.
You both have kindly agreed to assist us with the care of 2 {two} of our drug detection dogs Bella (chocolate lab) and Alice (yellow lab) until which time we retrieve them and resume our business in Alberta.
You will pick up both dogs at the Hamilton Airport at 3:37 pm, May 14, 2016 from D Pike Security Services lnc employee/handler, Jean-Phillippe Gaudreau. Out of the goodness of your heart, and our friendship over the years you have agreed to shelter, feed and maintain training on these dogs until which time our business resumes and we make arrangements to bring them back to Alberta for work.
Both Jennifer and I appreciate your kindness and assistance during this time of need, your willingness to help is a true act of friendship. and we are grateful to have friends like you both.
