Sinead began K9 training in the law enforcement dog arena over 20 years ago. Her passion truly started with detection and trailing/tracking. Sinead’s specialty is the various forms of detection work that she has studied under many masters in this discipline.

Several years ago Sinead acquired her own working dog specifically for narcotics detection work but added a variety of skills over time ultimately producing a good example of a Multi-Purpose Canine.

Sinead travels throughout the United States teaching detection, K9 Medic first aid classes, and trailing/tracking to a variety of agencies. When her teaching day is over, she stays very busy working Magnus Ares in a professional narcotics detection role.

Florida Task Force 6 has Sinead as one of their Canine Search Specialists. She and Magnus were deployed for the Champlain Towers Collapse at Surfside.

Good Morning America, News Nation, NBC, CBS, ABC, BBC, ESPN2, American Working Dog Magazine, Working Dog Magazine, Unidad K9 Magazine, American Kennel Club, and The New Yorker Magazine have all featured Sinead on various contemporary pieces revolving around dog training and deployment. Magnus and Sinead were also on season 2 of America’s Top Dog. The team received the Keys to the city of Estero, FL for honorable assistance during the Surfside Disaster, recognized by Lee County Commissioner for their efforts at Surfside, and recipient of the 2021 AKC Humane Fund Award for Canine Excellence (ACE).

Sinead has competed in the Working Dog Olympics in Brazil representing USA returning, placing 4th overall and 2nd place in Narcotics Exterior. She has won several awards from America Working Dog Olympics as well.

Passion for the art of odor and working dogs is Sinead’s nom de guerre, all while combining physical fitness through specialized training techniques for humans and dogs alike.
