    Principal, Chiron K9


    Paul Bunker is the founder and principal of Chiron K9, a leading canine consultancy specializing in detection dog training, field deployment, and research. With over 40 years of global experience, Paul is widely recognized as a subject matter expert in detection canine operations across conservation, environmental, military, and scientific applications. Paul began his career in the British Army’s Royal Army Veterinary Corps, serving 22 years as a specialist canine trainer and instructor. He led high-threat detection dog programs, trained military and government teams internationally, and was awarded the NATO Joint Commanders’ Commendation for Distinguished Service in the Balkans. 

    After retiring from the military, Paul was requested by the United States Department of Defense to establish a specialized off-leash detection canine program. He continued his involvement with military canine training after leaving the 341st Training Squadron Military Working Dog school at Lackland Air Force Base, supporting the United States Marine Corps IED detection canine program. He was promoted to Program Manager of Research and Development, supporting the Office of Naval Research. After being promoted to Director of a large canine training academy, he decided his skills lay elsewhere and transitioned his expertise into conservation, environmental, and scientific detection, founding Chiron K9 in 2017.

    Under his leadership, Chiron K9 has supported government agencies, universities, and private organizations through innovative training solutions, field surveys, and collaborative research projects. Paul is an award-winning trainer and has authored and co-authored multiple peer-reviewed scientific publications and is the author of Imprint Your Detection Dog in 15 Days, a widely respected training guide.
