David Perera is providing an outstanding training experience for me and my 12-week Belgian Malinois female puppy. David is an expert on the breed and has provided exceptional support, guidance, and instruction. I see instant results in the development of my puppy’s obedience and wellbeing thanks to David’s leadership. Working with David has brought me much peace and comfort during the puppy training process.
The owner of K9 Specialist, Dennis, has assembled a team of dedicated and kind professionals. Thank you, Dennis, for creating this program— you are the best! I appreciate you always being available to answer any questions and provide support.

A huge thank you to David and the team! My puppy was incredibly anxious, but the house training has been a complete success; he's now an obedient dog, and I've learned to guide him much better. A big thank you also for the extra nutrition advice; my dog went from always being tired to having tons of energy. A truly exceptional service that goes far beyond expectations!

I'm so grateful to the team. My dog was a difficult case due to his anxiety and bad behavior; today he's a completely different dog. A huge thank you to David for his dedication and the results. You can tell they love what they do!

Freddy is an awesome trainer. So far my dog has responded great to all the obedience classes. He’s great at explaining everything, giving tips to maximize practice time on my own. Helping me understand some of her “unwanted” behaviors, like leash aggression with other dogs and most importantly where I need to improve.
