Virtus House Kennel KastShow Notes
Coming Soon. We're excited to give you a sneak peak of K9 Solutions Australia's Virtus House Kennel Kast 001 with former SASR Soldier and Combat Assault Dog Handler Ryan Wilson. It was an absolute pleasure speaking with Ryan and we can't wait for you to hear the first episode on 13.12.2021. It's rare for members of elite special operations units to share their experiences of serving in these types of units, so we can't thank Ryan enough for taking the time out of his busy schedule to spend a couple of hours sharing his story with us.
