Full Contact K9

My University daughter was assaulted by a stranger on the streets of NYC. We weighed various options, eg, Private security etc. That’s when we decided on a protection dog. Thankfully we found Evan Dunbar. Not only did he pick the perfect dog for her but he is incredibly knowledgable about his dogs. He interviewed us and my daughter extensively and found the right dog for her. Her dog is so forgiving and kind and clearly will protect her with his life. We received him trained at about 14 months old. Evan worked with both the dog and my daughter for the summer and then flew to NY to train them both on The Subway, Elevators, Escalators, Ubers, Restaurants, etc. Her dog goes to Class with her everyday and he is very popular with both students and professors. He has alerted her to men following her by immediately turning around and walking backwards whilst watching the person. If she feels the need she gives him the “Bark” command and that is enough to chase them off. Her Dog has helped her on 5 different occasions and as early as last week she was taunted by a group of youths and he once again went to work and viciously “Barked” them into retreating. Evan trained him to fly on Delta so she travels with him at her feet. They train twice a week with Evan when they come home and that will continue for the life of the dog. You cannot put a price on your child’s life and if you divide the price of the dog by the years he will live and work for you it makes perfect financial sense. He is now 3yrs old. Evan Dunbar not only gave us the perfect dog but he helped our daughter through a critical time in her life and gave her the means to be able to be part of society knowing she is safe with her dog by her side.

We researched a number of dog trainers in the Atlanta metro area for our two German Shepherds and engaged Full Contact K9 after interviewing with Evan at a park in Johns Creek.  At the time, both of our Shepherds were difficult to walk and taking them into a public place was not a possibility.  During our first training session with Evan our younger Shepherd (Kilo) was completely unhinged to the point that we could not even shake hands.  We knew our dogs were intelligent but at 5 and 7 years old we were worried if we had waited too long.  Evan assured us with consistent and correct training they would make great progress.  We started our training with Kilo and 45 days later I was able to walk her through Home Depot without any issues.  Our older Shepherd (Bella) was much easier but also benefited immensely from training with Full Contact K9.  Now both of our dogs can be walked by our children with ease, they consistently obey commands and we enjoy continuing to work with them on their obedience every day.  Our only regret is that we did not engage Evan when our dogs were puppies.

I am so thankful I found Evan, I rescued a young belgian malinois and after a couple of months knew I needed training!! Evan is knowledgeable and caring. He taught me how to be a Malinois owner as well as teaching my Malinois to understand me and how we interact. Its so amazing I don't have to worry about whats going on the world. He is doing great and free to explore nature and getting some fun frisbee time, no leash necessary . Thank you Evan!

We have been training our malinois with Evan since he was 8 weeks old. He is now 16 months old, and I can say with 100% confidence that we would not be where we are with our amazing boy without the constant guidance from Evan. Not only has he helped us shape our boy to compete in French Ring, but he has also helped up shape him into a reliable dog we can trust in all situations. From going to brunch with us to going to work he is just a really stable dog, and we would not have been able to accomplish it without Evan. On top of that he cares about the dogs he works with. We've had a few medical issues with our boy, and Evan was always there to jump in and offer advice on which clinics to go to etc! He is truly wonderful, and we will definitely be training all our dogs with him in the future.
