Branden Loock and K9 Leara 

Las Vegas, Nevada

Branden has been training and working with K9’s since 2015. (2009-2012 if you count my early search and rescue days). I started working with a kennel importing, training, and selling Police K9’s where I got interested in detection work.

In 2018, I got K9 Leara and started training her in Explosive Detection. We certified as a team in 2020 and have been working since.

We have worked across the country doing Music Festivals (Coachella, Global Citizen, Faster Horses), Conventions, NBA, SEMA, various concerts, and local events.

In April of 2023, we partnered our company, High Definition K9, with Confidential Canine in Sacramento and have since grown our company to nearly 20 dog teams working events across the country.

I currently own 3 Explosive Detection K9’s, K9 Leara and 2 of her puppies from our 2021 litter, K9 Toretto and K9 Cypher.

We also work closely with International Casino & Resort Working Dog Association out of Las Vegas as a trainer/judge, and recently joined HDPK9 as a Member in February of 2024! We are excited to be a part of the association to learn and expand our network and learning opportunities.
