Dan Gray

AMPWDA Master Trainer - Administrator

Dan grew up raising and training dogs. At the age of fifteen (15), he finished his first dog as an AKC Champion. He continued showing dogs and later worked as a handler, training and showing dogs for various clients. Also, during his teen age years, he was the sole caretaker for a pack of Timber Wolves at a sanctuary in central Indiana.

Dan went on to complete his education in Computer Science and after working in the field for several years started his own computer consulting firm, DGE Automation, Inc. All the while, he continued working with and training dogs, as canines are his lifelong passion.

He has earned multiple certifications with multiple K9s and been active on numerous manhunts, working with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, city and county Police Departments, and numerous fire departments.

He started with AMPWDA in 2009 and has served as a trainer at twenty-six (26) AMPWDA National Seminars, The Winter Workshop, Jailbreak 2011, The Real-Life Scenario Seminar, various mantracking classes and countless other state workshops across the country. Dan is a big believer in double blind training/testing and was instrumental in moving AMPWDA to a double blind test protocol for Mantrailing.
