Born and raised in Buffalo NY. Went to the University of Rochester playing football for 2 years. Joined the military after attending 2 years and realizing he did not have the desire to push forward in college simply to be in college. After enlisting, he was selected to transition to becoming an Officer almost completely on his leadership ability. He has served for 19 years as a helicopter pilot and instructor for both aviators and dog handlers. Along the way he has attended multiple Military and civilian dog training schools. He attends multiple conferences and makes sure to learn something new in the field each year while maintaining his core company policy “we train the Pack for the Dog and the Dog for the Pack”. While every dog can be made to work within a family not all will be able to do the same things as others just as people can’t do everything that other people can do. Dogs should not be treated like people. Dogs are not people…. They are better because they come with unconditional and constant love.

Haji Shareef began his path to becoming a dog trainer in the same way as most. He talked his parents into a new dog and was told he was responsible for training and taking care of her. Unlike most he took the time to read up and learn from every book he could. After joining the military he was given the opportunity to work with and train dogs for life saving techniques. This further led him on his path to establishing his own dog training company. In his life he has trained dogs for Military, Police, Service and your average family. While there are dogs he prefers there are no dogs he thinks are unworthy of a happy, loved life.
