Meet Sello aka "Solid"

A Journey Through Loyalty and Protection

 

Solid's journey began with a childhood fascination that would shape his entire life. Sneaking onto his bike to peek through the windows of a local dog training facility, he was captivated by the bite work, finding it thrilling and cool even at the tender age of 7 or 8. It was then that he knew, deep down, that he would become a dog trainer one day. Growing up was not easy; moving frequently meant few friends, but at 12, Solid found his constant companion—a dog. This marked the start of a deep bond with animals, particularly dogs, which would define his path. With his first dogs, Jinx the Pitbull and Kolo the Cane Corso, he taught himself the art of training. Drawn to the loyalty and protective nature of these breeds, Solid saw reflections of his own warrior spirit—the tough exterior hiding a fiercely loyal heart. Life in rough neighborhoods toughened Solid further. The streets became his battleground, and early on, a break-in at his home solidified his determination to protect both his family and himself. This experience ignited a passion: to merge his own journey with that of his dogs, creating protection not just for himself, but for others too. Throughout his youth, Solid faced adversity head-on. Known for his alpha personality and a natural inclination to run towards danger, he earned respect for his selflessness and courage. Battle scars, both literal and metaphorical, shaped his character, making him a person others felt safe around. In Washington state, where he sought stability during turbulent times, Solid's nickname was born. Recognized for his unwavering strength and integrity, he became known as "Solid." Whether homeless or low on funds, he never wavered from his mission, traveling extensively to forge connections and hone his craft in canine training. Solid's journey epitomizes resilience and determination. His love for children, the outdoors, cooking, and fitness underscore his multifaceted character. Discipline is not just a habit but a way of life, commanding attention wherever he goes with his commanding aura and masculine presence. Today, Solid stands as a testament to perseverance and loyalty. He has sacrificed much to reach where he is, steadfastly moving forward with every solid step. From security to canine training, his dedication remains unyielding—a man whose name embodies the strength and steadfastness that define him: Solid.
