According to LVMPD, surveillance video showed training practices that police described as “straight-up cruelty” — outside the scope of any legitimate training practice.
35
dogs seized by police
Thirty-five dogs were found inside the facility and confiscated when LVMPD served its warrant on April 1, 2026.
2
employees arrested on felony charges

$800+
per dog, after alleged abuse
Police say many dogs were rescued from California, put through the facility's training, and then sold for upwards of $800 — far above a normal rescue adoption fee.
27
days until the new license application
The application for the new business at the same address was filed less than a month after the raid, according to the City of Las Vegas.
“You have to look at, is this outside of the scope of practice? Is this bad training tactics or is this just straight cruelty? To us, it was outside of training practices. It was straight-up cruelty.”
