When Jim Hornbeck first started training drug detection K-9's for Law Enforcement, there wasn't much information out there on how to train,  so in addition to training drug and bomb dogs he also published and produced many books and videos designed to teach anyone how to train.  And so Hornbecks.net was born.  Hornbecks offers training videos for drug and bomb detection dogs, also arson detection and mantracking.  He also offers videos and books to law enforcement for drug interdiction.  In business now for 20+ years we not only have the knowledge of Jim available through his books and videos, we have training tips posted on the site from various top notch trainers across the country. 

Jim also established Drugbeat K-9 Certifications.  This company was started about 10 years ago due to the huge amount of requests from private security companies utilizing K-9's, but not able to certify because all other certifying agencys were designed strictly for law enforcement.  We have some of the strictest guidelines for detection, tracking and patrol certification. Drugbeat has certifying agents all over the world who perform hundreds of certifications every year for law enforcement and private security companies. 

Jim has retired as a K-9 trainer and has sold Hornbecks and Drugbeat to Gary LaFollette of LaFollette K-9 Training Center (he still dabbles and watches over us).  He is still the moderator of 3 message boards for K-9 trainers and Law enforcement around the world.
