Valor K9 Academy

I can't recommend Amy and Aaron highly enough. Amy helped me pick my amazing puppy and made sure I will have a dog that is a good fit for me. Aaron trained my dog and did a truly fantastic Job. He not only taught him everything they promised but also made sure I have the skills to continue by myself. I have already got so many compliments on his excellent behavior but most important I have a dog that brings me so much joy. He walk by my side, can sit or lay down quietly, play fetch and so much more. Aaron is very responsive and a pleasure to work with. He really understand dogs. I am beyond happy with the service.

I am very happy with Sunny’s training. Aaron did a great job training Sunny to be calm, walk nicely on leash, learn Place, Crate, Sit, Down, Leave it, No, and more with much more confidence. I have learned to be the boss, use marker words and corrections like Pop and Stim to enforce my commands and boundaries. Aaron is an excellent trainer and teacher and was a pleasure to work with. Ann and Sunny, my 3 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.

The five star experience started with the first contact and continues! Amy responded over the weekend, asked good questions, and outlined a clear plan to help our new adopted dog join our family successfully. Amy took him for a month, knowing little about his background or training before our adoption. She bonded, nurtured, and surfaced his loving but very stubborn personality. Amy's videos showed us the progress and her effective tools of exercise, structure, and leadership. Our new housemate came home well mannered, eager to please, and trained for success. He walks calmly on and off leash, recalls, and loves his crate. Amy also worked on prey instinct, agility, and following on a bike. Five stars isn't enough. We will continue to use ValorK9 and Amy for refreshers and Stay and Play when we travel. Highly recommend -- Hire Amy!

Passion, expertise, commitment. These are attributes I look for in an exceptional dog trainer, and I found all three in Amy Pishner, owner and lead master trainer of Valor K9 Academy. I am a breeder, and part of my task is matching the right puppy with the right family. What I am not is an expert trainer! As each puppy heads to their forever home, I include my strong suggestion to find a trainer. Many of my families have used the services provided by Valor K9 Academy with exceptional results. Valor K9 Academy has come alongside many of our families to train for the rigors of the specific needs of the owners for service work, as well as teaching owners how to bring out the best behavior in their family companions. I trust Amy Pishner and her team with our cherished puppies and invite you to do the same. Whether you have a puppy that needs better manners or you need a dog for service work, please consider Valor K9 Academy!
