Rob definitely knows a lot about what he is doing. He is passionate about his work, which is shown in his way of training. - He is an excellent trainer, and gives the handler the best tools for each individual dog! Group trainings are great, and my dog improves from each training session. If you want to see progress with your dog, this is the place. Would recommend The K9 Cartel to everybody who would like a well behaved dog! 5⭐️!
Highly recommend! The K9 Cartel truly cares about giving dog owners the tools necessary to train a stable and obedient dog. I recently started group classes with my now 15 week old GSD. Classes are effective, enjoyable and provide my dog with plenty of socialization. Looking forward to continued progress with my pup!
Great trainer. Within 20 minutes solved all my problems! Excited for what’s next! Thanks Rob

My husband & I rescued a black lab/shepherd mix from our local shelter after she was unceremoniously dumped/returned at 5 months of age, with the family adamantly declaring she was ‘UNTRAINABLE’…. With the guidance of K-9 Cartel, we’ve concluded that Tillie (now 8 mos old), was NOT the party untrainable. It is exciting to work with Rob and realize that the training we are receiving will go sooo far beyond Tillie improving her obedience skills or learning ‘tricks’… I appreciate that we are developing a bond of trust that makes for a great relationship with our life companion. Don’t we all want THAT with our loved ones?? Thx Rob!
