Tribute to Rick Opperud PDF Print E-mail

I attended the 5th annual NNDDA region 2 seminar in Angleton, Tx. My K-9 (Lodka) and myself were trained by Rick Opperud. Rick spent every minute of his spare time training my K-9 and me. We stayed out at his kennels till way past dark several times cussing and discussing. He had his hands full with a green dog and handler. When Rick felt confident my K-9 and me were ready to hit the streets, he gave the go ahead for certification. Lodka certified in Narcotics 7/01/09. She certified shortly after in tracking as well. After certifying, Rick still continued to train and help Lodka and me. Rick and me became very good friends during this time. I valued his advice and friendship. He would always tell me that my dog had to be one of the best because his name was attached to it. He would not settle for anything less than 100%.
