About SHEEPDOG EDUCATION TRAINING

At Sheepdog Education Training, our mission is simple: to help individuals become confident, prepared, and proficient in their everyday life mission — whether that means protecting themselves, their families, or their communities.

​

We bring over 15 years of Armed Security experience and 4 years of National Border Security to the training field, with instruction rooted in real-world scenarios and a deep understanding of situational awareness. Our lead instructors are NRA-certified in Pistol Qualification Levels 1–4 and offer structured progression in both pistol and carbine training (Levels 1–4).

​

We also provide Arizona Concealed Carry (CCW) instruction, “Stop the Bleed” and tourniquet application training, and over 10 years of self-defense instruction. These skills are critical components of becoming not just a responsible gun owner, but a capable and prepared individual.

​

Our team is made up of a diverse group of instructors and coaches with over 60 years of combined experience, including veterans of the U.S. military, former law enforcement officers, active firefighters, and EMTs. This breadth of knowledge helps ensure our students feel supported, safe, and empowered—whether they’re stepping into a range for the first time or preparing for advanced tactical scenarios.

​

We are proud to serve the Tucson community and beyond with training that is personal, professional, and purpose-driven.

​

Train with purpose. Live with confidence.
