Luciano Aguilar

As a child Luciano Aguilar was terrified of dogs and it wasn't until he began his career training dogs in the United States Air Force that he finally got over his fear. Aguilar served our country for 10 years, 5 of those were as K9; he ended his career in the military working for the elite Presidential K9 Unit with a primary mission of securing Air Force 1 based out of Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland. Luciano served Presidents Clinton and Bush and was also tasked with other missions such as the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston, MA, secured the flight line at Andrews Air Force Base, MD for the arrival of President Reagan's body and the United Nations General Assembly New York, NY to name a few.

After leaving the Air Force, Luciano opened a dog training company in Los Angeles, CA. Luciano and his dog Ajax started their company training others people's dogs by demonstrating their skills on busy streets and expos all over Los Angeles. Luciano has traveled the country instructing at dog training seminars with individuals ranging from law enforcement to civilian personnel. Giving Luciano's expertise in bite prevention, he is regularly invited as a guest speaker for children at various schools and for letter carriers with the United States Postal Service. Aguilar is also a certified AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator.

Luciano with his dogs have performed live to sold out audiences for events like Night of the Horse at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, Del Mar, CA and for Fiesta of the Spanish Horse at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center, Burbank, CA. Aguilar made his television debut in the Spanish market being featured in popular TV shows like Sabado Gigante, Alarma TV, El Gordo Y La Flaca and has now crossed over to the English market as the current resident Pet Pro for national TV show "America Now," now on its third season. Recently, Luciano was asked by the Arenas Group a Public Relations Firm hired by Disney to be their "Pet Expert" for the Movie "Frankenweenie" due out October 5th, 2012.

Luciano's dedication to others has led him to once again serve his community with his appointment to the Board of Trustees of the Hawthorne School District, a suburb of Los Angeles County. The School District serves over 8000 children and is tasked with making critical decisions that impact not only the students he serves but an entire community. There are ten schools grades K-12 and the district is the largest employer in the city. Luciano counts on 4 others and the Superintendent to complete the team which makes up the board. Aguilar's first event as a board member is scheduled for October 13th 2012 and is titled The City Of Hawthorne Family And Pet Extravaganza. Event proceeds will be donated to the Hawthorne Education Foundation and various Dog Rescues.
