K9 Unlimited

Regardless if this is your first dog or your tenth, a simple pet that you want to be a respectful member of the family or a sport/protection dog, you will struggle to find anyone with the skills, patience, and dedication that Dave brings to the art of dog training. My family and I started working with Dave about 9 years ago with our male German Shepherd Dog (Dante). Although Dante was well behaved, we wanted to elevate his level of obedience so my 90lb wife would have no issues controlling this 110lb dog. Dave's approach is intuitive, logical, and well-honed. His experience and connection to all breeds of dog is evident and his positive reward style helps bring out the full potential of your dog without creating a dog that is skittish or afraid. Dave helped us tremendously with our dog and that's why when we brought home our new puppy, Dave was one of the first calls we made. Our current GSD (Ruger) is a working dog, highly energetic and highly driven, it was imperative to get his energy and focus directed as quickly as possible. Dave came in to help with our initial obedience training, which set a solid foundation and helped shape Ruger's first year and has progressed to advanced obedience in the years since. When I walk Ruger through our local downtown or through NYC it is inevitable that I will get stopped multiple times by people telling how well behaved he is. I always give them Dave's name and phone number. No matter what kind of dog you have - small, large, energetic, or couch potato - call Dave, you will enjoy your dog more and your dog will be much happier as well.

K9 Unlimited is an awesome trainer and has really helped us learn how to better understand our dog **who is a Pitbull, so he does not discriminate, as mentioned in another review here**. When our dog was lashing out, whether it was going through the garbage or barking at other dogs, he worked with us for months on correcting the issues. We have a long term relationship with Dave and will continue working with him since it's been so helpful!
