David trained our first dachshund three years ago and did a great job. We recently acquired a second dachshund that we also brought to David for training and have been very happy with the results. David is a professional trainer with exceptional experience.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Southern K9 Solutions to address some serous behavioral issues with our dog, Jamie. From the first consultation, I was impressed by his professionalism and deep understanding of canine behavior. Expertise and Approach: The behaviorist, David, was incredibly knowledgeable and patient. He took the time to thoroughly assess Jamies behavior, my concerns and identify the root causes of his nervousness and aggression. We had a real safety issue that needed to be quickly addressed. His approach was both scientific and compassionate, using positive reinforcement techniques that were effective and humane. Personalized Plan: David developed a customized behavior modification plan tailored specifically to Jamie’s needs. After two weeks of intensive training at his facility we reintroduced Jamie into the home. He provided clear instructions and demonstrated each technique, ensuring I felt confident in implementing the plan at home. The progress Jamie made is remarkable; he became calmer, more obedient, and much happier overall. Support and Follow-Up: What truly set Southern K9 Solutions apart was the ongoing support. David regularly checked in to monitor Jamie’s progress and made adjustments to the plan as needed. His dedication to Jamies’s well-being was evident, and it made a significant difference in his behavior. Jamie and I continue to work the plan and we both the training regimen. Results: Thanks to Davids expertise, Jamie’s transformation has been incredible. He is now a well-behaved and content dog, and our bond has never been stronger. I am grateful for the positive impact Southern K9 Solutions has had on our relationship with Jamie. Conclusion: I highly recommend Southern K9 Solutions to any dog owner facing behavioral challenges. Understand that David’s approach also addresses the human side of the Dog/ Owner equation so expect adjustments to this interaction. His professional, compassionate, and effective approach truly makes a difference. David is a fantastic behaviorist who genuinely cares about his clients and their K9 companions.
Just had my girl spend 2 weeks with David and I'm really happy with the results. He got a lot done in the time he had with her and she definitely progressed in her behavior. I'd highly recommend him if your looking for someone to help you with the training of your family pet.
great trainers. straight forward, honest, and easy to deal with

I brought David a young malinois pup that I desperately needed help with - it was getting to the point that I was wanting to find her a new home. Not only did he completely transform her, but he taught me too! I know, I know…it’s a mal, they’re hard to manage. However, she is not my first! And I think this is crucial for y’all to know, because Sabine had an attitude problem that I didn’t disclose with him prior to training (I wanted to see if he really works with the dogs…he does!). He called me about it and said, “she now knows a new command to stop that!” Since training, I have done everything he said to do, and I have been extremely happy with the results! She even went on her first road trip this summer with absolutely no problems! And my dog and I have a better relationship. Call him!!
