LAS VEGAS K9 TRAINING

The place for training in LV! After meeting other trainers in the valley I am so happy to have found Las Vegas K9 Training! They are responsive, have a great facility and are super knowledgeable. I have been getting private lessons with our dog to work on overall obedience as well as personal protection. Through these sessions Humberto has definitely improved my dog handling skills! It also has been super fun watching and learning as he trains our dog in the art of bitework. We also just started the CGC classes with Terri and Humberto and so far it is great! Really good prep not just for the test but real like situations as well. I look forward to continuing our lessons and learning more from these talented trainers!

Our experience with Terri and Humberto was top notch! We travel and take Delilah everywhere with us. She has been on a plane and needed to learn to behave appropriately. We had done “other “ training but unfortunately it was working for us. After the 6 weeks with Terri and Humberto, Delilah is the most well behaved little girl! This was a very good experience. Not only did they train her but they loved her and played with her. I never felt uncomfortable with her being away from me. They have given us the confidence to take our dog anyplace we go! Thank you so much!!

I’ve been working with Humberto and Terri for 4 months now and have nothing but good things to say about them. I rescued a two year old Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd mix and, after trying some other basic group training programs, I knew I needed professional help from someone who had experience with the breed. From the beginning they’ve been open, honest and extremely informative and they’ve always been willing to spend the extra time with me to ensure I was using the tools and techniques correctly during our sessions, as well as, putting a plan together for what I needed to work on in between visits. In a matter of four months, my dog went from being nervous, unfocused, and defiant with separation anxiety and mild toy aggression to being well-balanced, socialized and titled as an AKC Canine Good Citizen for obedience. In fact, I’m constantly getting compliments for how well-behaved he is when I take him out in public and am currently working towards his advanced obedience title. One thing I really liked about working with Humberto was his philosophy on how to train using both positive reinforcement for good behavior and correction to any unwanted behavior. Too many training programs will focus only on using positive feedback or only using correction. Humberto and Terri really stress the importance of having balance in the use of both methods. They focus heavily on working to build up a dog’s confidence and trust through recognizing which methods will have the greatest impact while not going beyond each dog’s individual limitations. Obviously, with any training, it takes time, patience and constant reinforcement to yield strong results. This is particularly true with dogs that come from unstable backgrounds or harsh environments. Overall, I’m extremely happy with the results over the last four months. Humberto and Terri have been great to work with and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for help with obedience, protection or agility training.
