"Al was great to work with. His 30+ years of experience is invaluable and he offers a wealth of knowledge. He came out to our home, personally worked with us, and gave us the right tools to help correct our dog's behavior issues. We saw results within just a few short weeks of working with him and we feel much more confident now as first-time dog owners."

"Al was great in helping me get Taiya ready to be the service dog she was always meant to be! He worked to address specific issues Taiya was having and was always happy to answer my calls when I had a question. I am now studying in the mountains of Oregon and Taiya has been amazing. Thanks Al! We couldn't have done it without you!"

"Our husky is very lovable, but walks were awful. He would pull hard incessantly while jumping from side to side of the trail. On walks and elsewhere, our husky would screech at dogs, squirrels and other animals and often attacked other dogs. Al and Sharon have done wonders with our husky. When we considered leaving him with Al and Sharon, we were concerned that his loving personality would change, We are so happy to report that he is the same loving, fun dog we had before he started training with Al and Sharon. What we now have is a lovable, well-behaved husky. Since the training, walks are a dream and so enjoyable. Our husky has been in several public places since he left training and has been exposed to other dogs and animals with absolutely no hint of trouble. In fact, on each journey, people have told us what a well-behaved dog he is-- that didn’t happen before. We wish we had done this training before and would not hesitate to recommend Al and Sharon to anyone, and would be happy to discuss this with anybody considering this course. Thanks Al and Sharon for loving our dog and making our lives and our husky’s life better!"

"We had our giant schnauzer, Zelda, trained (obedience and protection) by K-9 Specialist and were very pleased with the training. Al came to our house for a free consultation and was thorough in explaining what the training would cover. I was very impressed with the obedience and responsiveness to commands that my dog learned in a few short weeks with K-9 Specialist. I appreciated the time Sharon took to train my husband and I️ how to utilize Zelda’s new skills. While Sharon is strict in her training, Zelda absolutely loves going back to see her when I board her with K-9 Specialist. I honestly don’t trust any other kennel to leave my dog with. Throughout Zelda’s protection training, Al built on her natural protective instinct and worked strategically to build her confidence. Al answered any questions I had and Al’s expertise and knowledge of dogs was clearly evident when he worked with my dog. I cannot put a price tag on the safety of my family and knowing that my dog is ready at all times to protect her family puts my mind at ease, especially when my husband isn’t home. I have no hesitations in recommending K-9 Specialist to anyone looking for obedience and/or protection training."
