Bob Eden is a 28 year retired police veteran with over 40 years of dog training experience in law enforcement, military and personal protection applications. In his final years of law enforcement he was a detective with the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit investigating organized crime.

Early in his career he developed the Delta Police K9 Unit and served as the lead police dog trainer for the Department for 16 years. He is the author of two books, "Dog Training For Law Enforcement" , "K9 Officers Manual", and "K9 Supervisors Manual, Dynamics in Developing and Managing Police K9 Units" currently scheduled for release in June of 2021. In 1988 Bob was appointed to the B.C. Police Commission's committee to create minimum police dog training standards for law enforcement agencies in the province of British Columbia. In 1991 he created and developed the International Police K9 Conference in an attempt to bring a professional training seminar to officers which was not politically oriented or specific to any particular style of training. The intent was to support all officers in methods which meet their specific needs.

In 2003 Bob was contracted by the Phoenix Police Department, Phoenix, Arizona to re-develop their police K9 unit from the ground up, introducing new training and deployment ideas. In 2005 he was further contracted by the US Government to assist in a joint Canadian/American venture to train officers and dogs in Rio De Janeiro in preparation for the 2007 Pan American Games. Bob has also authored articles and columns in such periodicals as "Police Magazine", ” Police K9 Magazine”, “K9 Cop Magazine”, "Law and Order", "Police and Security News", "Finland's Rottweiler Magazine", "The Police K9 Recruiter" and "Offlead Magazine" from Australia.

In 1994 he created the Police Dog Home Page which has become a standard resource page on the net for law enforcement K9 operations.
