Will you accept pit bulls? I have a 1 year old(in human years)
I don't think there are breed restrictions. I know the dog has to have all shots including kennel cough. Dave is great BTW! Highly recommended!

What do you charge? Have a 15 month old Shepard that is aggressive.
I can definitely tell you that he can help you with your Shepard. As far as price goes. It depends on what you want out of the dog. Also how much work you want to do on your end a pose to his end. But I also don't know how aggressive your dog is. Your best bet is to go in and have an evaluation of the dog. He then can tell you your options. Hope this helps. 😊👍

Dave is the best! We have never had a dog trained as well as our dog now. Before we found Dave we were doing so many things wrong. Wish we would have found him years ago!
Dave’s doggie den was a huge relief for us to find. We have done private lessons with Dave since our dog was 8 weeks old and then we continued course and joined his 6 week program. Our dog is very well behaved and trained now. Dave is very knowledgeable and willing to help at anytime. Dave is always a call or text away if you need help which is hard to find anymore. Highly recommend.
I visited Dave's doggie den today. I had a lot of issues with my Rottweiler who is a large dog and difficult to control. Within Just 30 minutes of being there Dave showed me techniques to get my dog to pay attention, be obedient and be a joy to take for walks. I'm looking forward to more sessions with him. He's good and patient and knows his stuff.

Dave and Kristy know dogs like no trainer I have ever met. We had been at multiple trainers with no luck. Found this place 10 years ago and we have brought 3 dogs here since. This is not the traditional treat training. Your dog learns manners and good behavior by your reward of praise. They come out well behaved without the need of a treat. All 3 off my dogs are confident and well behaved. We get compliments everywhere we go. You are taught how to train and read your dog. This is a class you should expect to be trained yourself. Poor dog behavior is from poor owners. They train you and your dog. The only people I have ever seen not have a good outcome are those who think they know better, do not want to listen, or do not put in the consistent work outside of class. This is more than training. It is a solid foundation set for the dog for the rest if it's life.
