I can’t recommend this company enough. We worked with Daviel as our Cane Corso’s trainer, and he was incredibly patient, loving, and truly great with our dog. He’s very knowledgeable about the breed and took the time to understand our pet’s needs. Daviel was also very accommodating with our schedule, which we really appreciated. He’s an excellent trainer and an even better person.

I cannot say enough great things about this dog training company! My Belgian Malinois, Pyro, is extremely high-drive and can be a handful without the right guidance. The trainers here knew exactly how to work with his energy, intelligence, and personality. Within just a few sessions, I noticed a huge improvement in his focus, obedience, and overall behavior. They didn’t just train Pyro, they taught me how to communicate with him better and gave me clear, practical tools I can use every day. The team is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cares about the dogs they work with. Pyro absolutely loves training now and is more confident than ever. If you have a working breed or a dog that needs expert-level training, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!

I really want to give a huge shoutout to Darien from K9 Specialist. He was our trainer for my German Shepherd, Mara, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. When we first started, Mara was constantly biting, had no self-control at all and couldn't not stay focused for even a few seconds. Darien completely changed that. He was patient, straightforward, and really took the time to understand Mara’s personality. Little by little, he helped her go from a nonstop biter to a calm, well-behaved service dog. The transformation is honestly incredible. What I appreciated most is that he didn’t just train the dog, he taught me how to work with her, which made such a huge difference. You can tell he really cares about the dogs and the people he’s helping. If you’re working with K9 Specialist and you get the chance to have Darien as your trainer, consider yourself lucky. He was amazing, and I’m extremely grateful for everything he did for us.

I’m having a great experience so far with my dog’s training. The company and staff are great, William is an amazing trainer and very insightful and knowledgeable with tons of experience. We still have a long way to go (based on the type of training and package we chose) but I have no doubt my dobbie will reach the level of training we sought out.

I cannot say enough good things about our experience with K9 Specialist trainer Darrien! From the very first session, it was clear how knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely caring Darrien is. He took the time to understand my dog’s personality, and needs. He approached every challenge with kindness, and encouragement. What I appreciated most about Darrien was how supportive he was—not just with my dog, but with me as an owner. Darrien explained everything clearly, and never made me feel rushed, or overwhelmed. I learned a lot! His positive training style made such a difference. If you are looking for a trainer who combines expertise with heart, I absolutely recommend Darrien with K9 Specialist. I am so grateful for the guidance, patience, and genuine care he has shown. It has made all the difference.

Dayana Bravo, excelente entrenadora, sabe de la materia, controla a los perros, le hacen caso, los trata con cariño pero les aplica disciplina. Puede manejar al perro todos los ambientes a los que fuimos y lo más importante cuando Cooper la que ve la quiere mucho y fue más que un entrenamiento para el fue una experiencia inolvidable para todos. Me llevó no solo un diploma sino manera de salir a la calle con Cooper diferente que nos genera libertad, seguridad y confianza. Gracias muchas gracias. Ahora Cooper estará conmigo cuando me lo quiera llevar a cualquier lado. Seguiremos en contacto. Recomiendo 100% a la compañía y especialmente a Dayana Bravo.

We just completed training for our 8-month-old Korean Jindo “El Lobito”, and we truly can’t express how amazing this experience has been. This is a very primitive breed and very difficult to handle, David’s expertise is unmatched — he’s incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cares about dogs and their progress. We saw real improvement and felt supported every step of the way. We 100% recommend K9 Specialist and hope you have the pleasure of working with David Pereda. He is the absolute best.

We did the service dog training for my dog Enzo with K-9 Specialist, and I couldn’t be happier. A friend recommended them, and it was truly the best decision. Dayana is very professional, dedicated, and genuinely loves what she does. Thank you for everything! 🙌🏻

I can’t express my gratitude to K-9 Specialist for their dedication and professionalism thorough-out my Luna’s service dog training. She’s a totally different dog thanks to Dayana’s persistence and great training. I am so happy to have done this for my Luna Bella! 👏👏👏

We had an excellent experience working with Dayana. She is incredibly patient, a great listener and understands the dog and owners needs. Her empathy and calm approach made every session productive and enjoyable. She takes time to understand your goals and tailors her training to fit your dogs personality and needs.

Today, our boy, Linus SnoopDog, graduated with K-9 Specialists. Our trainer, Darien, trained not only our pup, but his over indulgent, over protective mama. He helped me to see that part of Linus’s resistance to training was his ability to manipulate me. A little tough love goes a long way. Yes, there were tears. But we are both better for it. We are already looking at some additional training for socialization, in part, to keep Darien as part of our family circle. He’s a big softie disguised as a disciplinarian. We are here for it. 🫶🏻
