NOW FUNDING: COPS + DOGS
Help keep these investigations and resources independent and free to access.
We’re investigating how dogs became tools of policing, who gets harmed today, what really happens to the dogs, and what meaningful change could look like.
Your support funds research, source checking, filming and editing, and compiling and updating these public resources so more people can learn about these issues more easily.
Monthly support starts at $2 USD. Choose the amount that works for you.
THIS STORY IS BIGGER THAN DOG TRAINING.
Police dogs sit at the intersection of training, history, race, law, public safety, animal welfare, and state power. These subjects are usually separated. We are bringing them together so people can see the whole system.
The goal is not just to document the system.
It’s to help change it.
WHAT WE’RE INVESTIGATING
01
How we got here
Trace the history, training culture, and institutions that turned dogs into instruments of state power.
02
What the hero story hides
Center the consequences for people, communities, handlers, and the dogs themselves.
03
What change could look like
Examine evidence, accountability, policy, and safer approaches that do not depend on attack dogs.
YOU ARE FUNDING THE WORK BEHIND THE WORK.
Research + source checking
Build the strongest case we can, with public sources people can examine for themselves.
Public education
Publish the central project and supporting resources where people can use and share them.
Filming + editing
Turn a complex story into something clear, compelling, and hard to ignore.
Independence
Give us room to pursue work because it matters, not because a sponsor wants it made.
THE WORK STAYS PUBLIC.
Patreon helps make the project possible. It is not a paywall for the central information people need. The investigation, evidence, and public resources will remain available to read, watch, and share.
The rest of the revolution is still here
This project is one part of a much larger body of work. You can still find free training help, the 30 Day Perfect Pup plan, our evidence resources, and The Bigger Picture.
THIS PROJECT NEEDS PEOPLE WHO WANT THE FULL STORY TOLD.
If our work has helped you understand your dog, solve a problem, rethink outdated advice, or feel less alone, this is one way to help us keep the work going.
