We had a great experience with The K9 Expert! We have large breed dogs, including one with behavioral issues, and the results are incredible! Our dogs now walk off leash, hold a solid heel, and listen consistently. The k9 Expert team was knowledgeable, patient, and really took the time to work with each dog’s needs. Highly recommend!

The k9 expert helped make my dog gambit a LEGITIMATE service dog. He gave me instructions to do at home with him and he was a completely different dog within just a few weeks to months. Very satisfied with the turn out of my little Buddy. More...

If you’ve never had a dog trained by them you wouldn’t understand. It’s beautiful. Drew and Aidan speak these dog’s language. And they modify their training techniques for what each dog needs. And the dogs do not return fearful due to harsh techniques. 100% recommend More...

Drew and Aiden saved our dog! We had a reactive Doberman that had gotten out of control. We put our hopes in Sit Means Sit, which eventually led to my fiancé being bit while on a walk. In utter defeat we called a Doberman surrender, which led us to K-9 Expert. The boarding changed our pups life and has allowed us to begin living the life we had envisioned for her. We can not recommend them enough. More...

My young husky mix had almost no formal training, struggled with leash pulling, counter surfing, you name it. The k9 expert quoted me results in 6 sessions. I have currently completed 5 sessions and my pup is almost ready to graduate. I couldn’t recommend them enough. Very flexible with scheduling, and they come to you. My dog is able to walk without her leash, I’ll my kids can take her out, my counters are safe. I would 100/10 recommend them. More...

Drew & Aidan have been excellent trainers for our dog Georgia. Georgia is a pit mix we rescued almost a year ago, and is extremely attached and protective of us. Drew taught us and her the tools for Georgia to live a much more social life. Georgia also now listens and responds to every command we give. I highly recommend the K9expert for all dog training needs. This program is amazing, and I love that we now get access to group sessions to continue the training! More...

Ugh, if I could give zero stars, I would. I set up an evaluation and got a text saying they were on their way. A couple of hours later, I asked if everything was good, and they said they were dealing with an aggressive dog and had to reschedule. Whatever, but why say you're on your way if you're dealing with a dog like that? Anyway, a week goes by, and no one contacts me to reschedule, so I ask if they're even a real company. They say yes, so I ask when someone will contact me, and they say they were in a meeting all morning. It's been over a week! I say okay, and they give me the prices. I know it's a lot of money, but I'm willing to pay. I say it's fine, and week later, I still haven't heard anything about a new appointment. This is so unprofessional, and I'll never recommend them. It was the worst experience ever, and I'm taking my business elsewhere because over a thousand dollars for this kind of treatment is ridiculous. *update after owners response* not once was *doing me a favor*mentioned in our communication once not one time was it mentioned i was being squeezed in either. Also if text communication was an issue why did you have the entire conversation in text? You could of said please call us instead. Maybe don't make appointments if your unable to keep them and then not respond back to people. I can include the entire conversation. More...

I couldn’t be happier with the training services provided for my 2 dogs, Mabel (7 month bernadoodle) and Duncan (6 year old goldendoodle - he was 1 year at the time of his training with Drew). From the very first consultation, it was clear that Drew is passionate about dogs and dedicated to helping owners create strong, positive relationships with their pets. The progress we’ve seen in such a short time is remarkable—our walks are smoother, basic commands are followed with ease, and most importantly, my dog is more confident and well-behaved. Drew took the time to personalize the sessions to fit each of my dog’s specific needs, and he was always available for follow-up questions. I highly recommend this service to anyone looking to improve their dog’s behavior or simply strengthen the bond with their furry friend. Excellent experience all around. More...

Drew is an AMAZING trainer and I would recommend the K9 Expert to anyone who is looking to train their dog and/or dogs to behave and/or get along. My fiancé and I wanted to move in together but with his overly aggressive German shepherd, River, and my overly excited Cavachon, Bella, they were constantly triggering the worst behavior in each other! Upon meeting us for the first time, he had River sitting down without barking or lunging at Bella as she was quietly sitting next to them on the couch - in just 30 minutes! Their bootcamp program is the real deal and if you put in the work and follow the guidelines, you will be absolutely amazed with the results! Now River is in love with Bella! He’s not her type, but she tolerates him. 😂 5 star rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ More...

I was super new to training, specifically for extreme separation anxiety as my prior dogs didn't require it. I was hesitant, overwhelmed, and didn't know where to begin. A friend recommended The K9 Expert as she had success with her anxious dog through this program. Our dog, Nola has gained confidence, structure, and obedience thanks to Drew and Andrea. We look forward to group sessions as well, as they aid in Nola's socialization. 😀 🐕 More...

Drew is an amazing trainer! We did the puppy training package and will continue doing classes and group classes the results are amazing. I'm extremely satisfied with the outcome of our dog. He is off leash at only 7 months, listens to all of his commands without hesitation. I can take him anywhere without worrying if he's going to jump on someone, chew up a toy, steal a bite to eat off of a table or someone's plate or bite and growl at anyone. We started our training at the earliest we possibly could and will continue to meet at group or add a class here and there to stay consistent. I can call or message Drew anytime with any questions or concerns I have had or may have in the future and he's quick to respond and guide me through whatever the situation may be . I highly recommend The K9 Expert whether it's to start training in the beginning with the puppy training package, to correct any behavior issues or aggression problems or to train your dog to become a therapy dog. He truly does it all. Thank you More...

Drew did an amazing job with my 3 year old chihuahua Lola! She was super aggressive and loud in public, we couldn’t even walk past people or talk to anyone in public without her making a scene! Now she doesn’t even acknowledge people talking to her as we pass, and listens very well off leash! Using the commands Drew taught me to use with her has made a big difference. I never thought that it would be impossible to take her in public and not hear a single peep! Following the techniques Drew provides us with we seen results almost immediately! Couldn’t be happier, thank you Drew! More...

We highly recommend Andrew at The K9 Expert! We adopted an 11-year-old male Chihuahua named Grumpa. He only took to me. Nobody could look at me, come near me, talk to me or even sit next to me or he would bark aggressively charge and attack and bite!!!!! He was extremely aggressive with everyone!We had to keep him separated in another room which we didn’t want to do. I was at my wits end I called the foster mom and arranged to have Grumpa taken back to the foster home. A friend of mine recommended Andrew The K9 Expert.... Andrew came to our home for a free evaluation… And boy does he know his stuff! We scheduled a training session immediately. After the first session Grumpa was a different dog!!!! Each session we address different issues. As well as going over things from the past class it was a pleasure.Not only is the aggression gone he addressed other behaviors to make it a pleasure to have a dog. We followed through with Andrews recommendations and homework...The aggressive behavior has stopped and he is now a happy member of our family.Thank you Andrew!Grumpa says THANK YOU too!!!! More...

We lost two months of socialization with our lab puppy due to mandatory crate rest after hip dysplasia surgery at 6 months of age. Drew helped us through private lessons with our lab pup so she felt more at ease with basic commands and social situations, especially the heel command, so she’s not dragging us on walks anymore. Drew is also amazing with training the owners. :) His patience, support and knowledge has been wonderful. So much so, that I’ve signed up with Drew to help train my lab to be a therapy dog. We are in therapy training now, and I’m amazed at how well my lab is progressing. A well trained dog is a happy one and Drew is testimony to that. Highly recommend the K9 Expert! More...

Jameson was already a pleasure but we can take him out to more places without him barking at other dogs, he is more confident and truly such a joy to be around. I even had people say "wow your dog is so well trained" something we never heard before. I would recommend to anyone. More...

BEST TRAINING EVER!!!! Our beloved pit/lab mix is smart and sweet but once he hit adolescence he got an attitude! Haha we have had the dog since 4 months old and he went thru some basic training with a “so so”trainer and he learned his basics but I was never really impressed. Now he’s about to turn two and he needs tough love and Drew brought that to the table! He explained everything so clearly to us! He put the dog into situations where he knew he would react and therefore we could immediately correct him! It worked like a dream! Drew has all the skills and knowledge to properly train dogs (and their owners!) I recommend him highly!!! Our dog has changed for the better and is a great listener! We haven’t finished our sessions yet but I’m confident he will graduate with honors One of the other big plus is that his assistant Danielle is wonderful!! She is so attentive and responds very quickly to any text I send or question I have. They make a great team!!! More...
