Avid K9 Training

Signed up my unruly pup for an online consultation with avid canine and said yes to the online puppy program. I did not regret the time and money spent at all. I was very happy with the service and attention that was given. My puppy learned the basics and obedience that I am now able to apply to both home and urban settings. After the online puppy course my little puppy's manners greatly improved. I would highly recommend giving this course a go for you and your puppy.

I’ve tried several other trainers before for behavior training and they all focused on obedience which helped but didn't solve the problem. My dog, Jaxon was still reactive and lunging. I hired Marth and it was different because the first thing he focused on was teaching me everything I needed to know about Jaxon’s behavior and I how can make changes at home and everyday life and things improved dramatically and now I can walk Jaxon off leash and he ignores everyone around us and stays focused on me. I would definitely recommend him for all of your training issues with your doggy’s. His prices are fair and a huge plus with the social classes he offers.

Title: Exceptional Training for Pitbulls - A Five-Star Experience with Avid K9 Training! I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible training services provided by Avid K9 Training and the owner, Marth. From the moment I started working with Marth, I knew I had found a remarkable professional who would help me bring out the best in my beloved pitbull, Spike. This review is a testament to the transformative impact Marth and his training methods had on our lives. I reached out to Avid K9 Training when Spike was just 10 weeks old, and I was immediately impressed by Marth's knowledge, expertise, and genuine passion for working with dogs. He guided me through every step of the training process, making it so much more manageable and enjoyable. With Marth's guidance, I felt equipped to tackle any challenge that came our way. One of the most significant concerns I had as a pitbull owner was the negative stigma associated with the breed. Spike, a beautiful gray pitbull and the runt of his litter, faced unfair stereotypes that could affect our insurance rates and rental opportunities. Thankfully, Marth provided the opportunity for Spike to earn the AKC's Canine Good Citizen (CGC) and Community Canine certifications, which proved invaluable when it came to renting and insurance. Marth's commitment to helping Spike become a well-behaved and confident dog was truly commendable. What stood out most about Marth's training approach was his ability to foster positive interactions between Spike and other people. He introduced a command called "make friends," which never fails to bring a smile to everyone involved. This command has had a remarkable impact on Spike's social skills, and it has completely changed the way people perceive pitbulls. I have received numerous compliments from individuals who have met Spike, sharing how their opinion of pitbulls has shifted after interacting with him. It's a testament to Marth's training philosophy that it's not the dog but the owner who plays a pivotal role in shaping a dog's behavior. Marth's guidance and expertise have not only transformed Spike into an amazing companion but have also empowered me to be the best human for my furry friend. The bond between my sons and Spike has grown stronger through Marth's training, and we are forever grateful for his guidance in understanding Spike's needs and potential. I wholeheartedly recommend Avid K9 Training and Marth to anyone seeking exceptional training for their dogs. Marth's dedication, professionalism, and genuine love for dogs are evident in every interaction. Thanks to Marth, Spike has blossomed into the best dog he can be, and our family's life has been enriched beyond measure. Thank you, Marth, for your unwavering commitment and for making a positive difference in the lives of dogs and their owners.

We’ve been training with Marth for 2 years now. Dog training is one of those things that I never fully understood how important it is for a happy non-reactive dog. We’ve trained two dogs with Marth, a young GSD who started at 6 months and middle aged chihuahua with reactivity and impulse control issues. First off, not only is Marth teaching the dog, he also teaches us how to interact with our dogs in a way that I can only describe as mutual respect. The dogs respond to us and developed near perfect recall and all basic commands like heel, sit, wait, down, etc. We get complements all of the time on how respectful our dogs are. Specifically for the GSD, we don’t have issues with friends or family volunteering to dog sit for us because they’re not afraid of him. He’s confident, loving, and respects people and children. We were even able to teach him to respect our chickens which is a huge win. The chihuahua has gone from pulling and lunging on the leash to a calm and confident guy who minds his own business cuz he’s focused on us. We’ll continue to train with Marth as he rolls out new classes or group sessions or anytime there’s something we need to work on, as it’s obvious how much return for in investment these sessions have been so far.
