We started training our mini schnauzer puppy with K9 specialist while he was less than 3 months old. Thanks to our trainer Darien he now obeys all of the commands in the basic/advance. He also taught us how to properly teach our puppy new commands, or to stay calm in public places. Darien went above and beyond to help train our puppy. I would highly recommend Darien and K9 specialist to anyone looking to train their dog of any age.

So thankful for K-9 specialists. I was recommended to have Yosi train my French bull dog puppy and I am so happy with the results. Denis and his staff are very knowledgeable in training and customize the program to your needs. Thank you thank you!!

I just finished dog training today with Yossi as the trainer and it was such an amazing experience. My puppy Clay has matured so much and his obedience and change in behavior is like night and day! So grateful for K9 and 100% reccomend them, and especially Yossi to train your pup!

K-9 Specialist is an elite, professional, and well organized program for anyone trying to help train their dogs. Hunter is my 7 year old boxer who had extreme reactivity towards people and especially other dogs. Always barking, pulling on his leash, and not very obedient. I have K-9 specialist a shot and did not regret it at all. That saying “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks” showed me that it was a myth after what K-9 was able to help me achieve for hunter. I was fortunate to have a phenomenal trainer to help me through all the training, Daviel Alvarez. He really showed his professionalism and knowledge in guiding me to help hunter become a better and improved dog. 3 months later and now I am able to walk him through crowds of people without him being react and barking at others and having his obedience sharpened. I highly recommend anyone to try K-9 specialist as their primary source for taking their dog training to the next level!
