ACC (Applied Canine Concepts LLC)

Thank you Gina and Fabian for Lilly’s ultimate transformation. Lilly was unfortunately neglected the first 7 months of her life resulting in significant behavioral issues. She basically was a menace to herself resulting in ER vet trips due to eating random items. Initially our vet thought she had partial deafness and recommended a muzzle for her safety. It turns out Lilly can hear she just didn’t know how to listen. Gina and Fabian not only taught Lilly obedience but how to self soothe, trust, listen and how to be a dog again. Lilly’s once couldn’t be trusted out of line of sight and now she has no destructive behavior. She is a healthy happy dog plays safely with kids, other dogs and us. Gina and Fabian taught us how to correctly work with her and her anxiety is gone. Lilly joins us at the beach, restaurants and is able to show her loving disposition. She’s a member of the family and understands to follow us on and off leash. We are grateful for the constant support and availability Gina and Fabian provide.

We have a purebred Doberman that is almost three years old. Dogs like these are so smart that they will take advantage unless they are trained by a professional. Not all trainers are equal. Fabian and Gina with Applied Canine Concepts have a program that will allow you to take charge and enjoy your dog even more than you did before. They clean the slate. Re-introduce you to your dog. Give you the tools to take control so you can enjoy your dog even more. Our dog now sticks to our sides. Respects our other dog. Doesn't pee indiscriminately outside. Flies to us when we call his name. Gets into down position and ignores everyone else but you. All my other dogs appeared to be everyone's dog and not mine. With Bronco I can tell he's paying attention when he walks as he turns his head every couple seconds to make sure he's on pace. Now the well trained dog that I would occasionally admire with others is finally mine. He respects and depends on me and my wife. A great relationship that I had dreamed finally came true. We considered trainers for over six months and never had the right feeling until we encountered Fabian and Gina. They have a formula that works. Honestly we had sticker shock at first. But that feeling has vanished now that he's back home. The first couple weeks when you get him back are more about you learning the rules than the dog himself. Our dog was pretty cool. But now he's awesome! You're given back a dog that is fully trained. Follow their instructions, especially when you get him back the first couple weeks. Fortunately, you communicate with them during this period so they can make sure you're on track.

I brought my 4 month old Rottweiler to Gina & Fabian for training. She was in the 3 week program. I got back a very happy & obedient puppy. They are very quick to answer any questions I have & go above & beyond to ensure our training stays on track. I took her out shopping with me today for the first time & she behaved like a Rock Star! I’m so happy & pleased with the results of her training! I HIGHLY recommend Applied Canine Concepts to anyone who wants to have a great relationship with their fur baby!!! Thank you Gina & Fabian! I couldn’t be happier with how well she listens & behaves! Sincerely, Denise M.

We had rescued a GSD that was 4yrs old about 1 year ago. Nado was great with our 13 year old Puggle, but became reactive during walks towards other dogs. His behavior had become so bad that we would walk in the dark to avoid other dogs, bring him to a park where no there were no other dogs and even drive different routes to avoid seeing other dogs. It was time to seek out the advice of a professional. Having been to another trainer and seeing no results, I did a lot of research. Applied K9 concepts sounded like exactly what we needed to re-set our relationship with Nado. I met with Gina and Fabian for a consultation and they explained the “clean slate” program and everything started to make sense. After we brought Nado home, Gina and Fabian reached out often to check in on us and see how we were doing. They even came to my house to do a real life scenario with another dog to help me “shut down” the behavior. It literally took less than 5minutes, that’s how good they are! Nado is much more pulled together, obedient and walking like a rock star when we are out. His crazy car behavior is no longer when we see another dog and we have noticed he is calmer and far more pulled together than before training. We leave the house far more confident with him than we ever have. It is really great knowing that if I need assistance, Gina and Fabian are a phone call away. I highly recommend any dog owner looking for training to contact them right away.

Brought both my 6 month old puppy and 3 1/2 year old dog. Our 6 month old stayed for 3 weeks and out 3 1/2 year old stayed for 2 weeks as she had previous training through 2 other trainers. We are so happy with how easy our dogs are to manage now. We no longer yell or scold our dogs and instead use communication that they understand. Our dogs truly enjoy working and doing obedience and it has made our relationship with them so much strong. Gina is always there to answer my questions by phone when I need help solving an issue that pops up with the dogs. I would 100% recommend them to anyone who asks for a great trainer who will stand by you for the life of your dogs.
