Pro K9 Center

23 years ago, Andres and his staff trained our first German Shepherd puppy. Fast forward to June 2022 and a few months after getting a new GSD puppy, we decided that we would see if Andres was still training dogs. Although she's a beautiful and happy girl, Sasha has proven to be a challenge for Chiara and the other trainers at Pro Canine Center. We are thankful that everyone was patient while working with her, and that our little girl has now graduated from obedience and off leash training! Thank you Andres, Chiara and the rest of the Team for helping bring out the best in Sasha - we greatly appreciate your support!

My pup, Remy started at Pro-Canine at age 4 months for basic obedience training. (Our previous dogs were untrained and aggressive and I wasn’t going down that road again!) His trainer was Amanda, and it was a perfect match from the beginning. Her patience and dedication to her job was amazing. I could contact her at anytime to problem solve unwanted behaviors, changes in behaviors, ask questions about food, exercise, etc. Anything! Additionally, all the other trainers we had interaction with were nothing but helpful and friendly at any given time. It was a great environment with positive vibes all around! Having that support helped me understand how my dog’s brain worked, and in turn fostered a relationship between Remy and myself rooted in respect and trust. His basic obedience went so well, we moved forward with recall and off leash obedience. Once Remy was trained, Amanda brought me in to learn how to put it all together. Today, a year later, I have a calm dog that I can bring around people without having to apologize for bad behaviors. The one thing that amazes me is his recall. On a few occasions he started to chase a deer, I’d give the recall command and he would stop in his tracks, turn around and run back to me. I don’t think that interaction will ever cease to amaze me! When you meet with Andre to have your dog evaluated, do not let the price scare you. First off, your dog will continue to go until they have perfected the skills- be it 3 months or a year. And when I break down what I paid, divided by his hourly attendance at “school” (as we called it), it came out to, about $15 an hour. Granted he’s not training the entire 6 hours he there, but he is still on site and under their care. In the end, at least for us, we have the kind of dog I never thought I would have- a real live “Goodest of Boys”.

Andres is the best in the business. Bar-none. Their in-depth knowledge, effectiveness, and level of attention & care are unmatched. Wanting to have the best dog safety-wise for our 4 tiny children, our dear friends recommended we send our dog to Pro Canine Center. We sent him from California all the way to them in New Jersey and 7 months later we got back a Champion! We are grateful beyond words to Andres and his team for training us and enabling us to be the best owners to our beloved dog. Thank you for blessing us with an amazing new family member!

The facility is fantastic, the staff are amazing. Andres, the owner and head trainer knows his business. These people are not playing around, the level of professionalism is unbelievable. I received Kubb (American King Shepard), as my PTSD service dog from Pro Canine Center. His trainer Amanda is basically a savant when it comes to her craft. Having a neurological injury, and no experience in owning a dog, I was nervous that I would not be able to click with the dog. The training that Amanda gave Kubb, and her method that she used integrating Kubb and I as a team, was perfect. Kubb was already ready for me, she showed me that I just needed to be ready for Kubb. Amanda showed me that already knew his commands and prompts, it was just me that had to learn how to use them properly. I’m still mind blown by how easy she made it for me, which was no easy task. Her patience and compassion was instrumental in guiding Kubb and i through the process. I now have a battle buddy in Kubb, someone that I had been missing for a very long time. The amount of gratitude that I have for his trainer, Amanda, is immense. The amount of gratitude that I have for Pro Canine Center, Andres, and his team, is absolutely profound. Thank you, team. You are who you need to be, where you need to be, when you need to be. Thank you, Ad Infinitum. Edward “Grunt” Lewis. Cpl. U.S. Army Ret. (11B, EIB, CIB) & Kubb.

Andres and his team are AMAZING! We got our first service dog from Andres in 2012- Jacqua Von Appoll- she was and always will be our HEART DOG! Since then Andres and his team have provided service dogs to MANY Veterans!! The training is by far the BEST I have ever seen- his handlers treat the dogs with firm kindness that results in happy, healthy well behaved service dogs. Recently, Andres reached out to my husband and I to see if we had a Veteran in need of a service dog. He had a "good dog" as Andres put it, that needed a job with a Veteran! We found the perfect fit and they are off to live a happy healthy life together! I have often told Andres in the past "You and your team are saving lives with your work" - he is always humble and usually says something like "It is the least we can do to support these Veterans". In the same sentence he says "I will stay in contact"- I know that to mean - there will be many more Veterans he and his team give hope to live a better life to! God Bless America and God Bless Andres and his team- TOP NOTCH! Kathleen S, Case Manager- Samson's Strength Sustainable Veterans Project, Inc 501 c3
