His puppy course is excellent for new owners and even experienced dog owners. His firm but fair method has been by far the most beneficial for our puppies.

I sent my Belgian Malinois (Sarge) to Garret for a month of board and train. When I dropped my dog off I could not take him in public because he was so aggressive toward dogs, humans, basically anything that moves. I first looked into American standard k9 because I wanted to find a professional to help me with this problem. And I got exactly what I needed. From the day dropped him off I got updates about how he was doing and his progress. Anything he recommends for your dog please do yourself a favor and you pup and listen to him. He does training sessions that are 2-3 hours long to teach you how to truly keep up with your dogs training that will insure the success of keeping your dog trained. He will go into detail of how he trained the dogs and physically show you every step. Garret makes sure that your dog is set up for success. When He brought Sarge back not only was he a totally transformed dog but he was happy and healthy. Which is a huge part for me when you hear about horror stories of board and train. He brought sarge back to my house and worked him inside and outside of his stomping ground where he would act the craziest. This insured that he could work out any problems that I would have. Him and his whole family are apart of the training. They will all treat your dogs as a family member. I could go on and on with this review but if you are looking for a trainer you are looking In the right place because he does amazing work and does everything to perfection he cuts no corners with your dogs training. Thank you again Garret! My dog is living the life he deserves and can finally go anywhere with me. More...

Garret is one of the best trainers you'll find. It's worth every penny for the sake of yours and your dog's sanity and safety. He's very detailed in his training and really takes the time and care to train your dog how he needs it. He's like a dog whisperer because he knows each dogs behaviors and needs before they even show it. One of my favorite parts is that he takes the time to make sure you know how to carry on the training once he's gone, he really cares that you understand exactly how to do it. His psychology behind his methods is brilliant. Thank you so much Garret for giving us the dog we knew he could be so that we can enjoy him to the fullest and he can enjoy life to the fullest!

Dropped off my 1 year old boxer for the 4 week off leash program. I can not believe the progress that my pup made. The best part of the program is that you are constantly updated with videos of progress and the communication process is amazing. The instruction on how to continue the training and progress with one on one personalized owner training” was included. I will never get another dog without taking them through this program. 10/10.

We’ll be starting training soon but I have confidence that he will be exceptional. He contacted me immediately, was highly professional, generous with his time hearing our concerns and unquestionably knowledgeable. I thank Bark for this connection.

Words can’t express how impressed I am with American Standard Dog Training. We worked with a trainer previously and saw little to no success but with American Standard we were blown away. We sent our four year old dog to train with Garrett for four weeks because his fear aggression was getting out of control and we had a baby on the way. If I didn’t know better, I’d think he brought us a different dog back. Throughout the training, we received several videos and pictures to show us how Kobe was doing and illustrate his progress. Within the first day, we were already impressed. Garrett goes above and beyond to make sure we understand the training process and can maintain Kobe’s progress—he even helped us introduce our newborn to Kobe! We are so excited that Kobe is home and that we now have our family together and don’t have to worry about aggression! HIGHLY recommend and will definitely tell everyone we know about American Standard Dog Training. More...

Had a great experience with American standard. Sent my puppy off at 11 week mark and she came back better than what we expected. Daily videos and pictures were sent to keep us updated along the way! Couldn’t have asked for anything more! More...

Garret is an amazing trainer. I never thought that my dog would ever walking nicely on the leash or that his aggression would calm down. But Garret succeeded in just a few short hours. My dog is a completely different dog. Thank you so much Garret!! More...

Amazing experience! Chase had been to two different training schools previously. Including a 10 day board and train. Nothing in comparison to how he came home from his 4 week session. As others had mentioned I wasn’t sure if he was the same dog that we sent. His behavior and demeanor is exactly what we were looking for. Besides the professionalism in dealing with Chase, Garrett spent a significant amount of time at our house on day 1, midway through the training and on drop off day going over the training and showing my wife and I how to make sure Chase stays on track and succeeds. My only wish is that we had found him sooner and sent Chase there from when he was a pup. Highly recommend American Standard and anyone is more than welcome to contact me directly if they want a reference or have any questions about my experience. More...

Im Charlie, and I am 14 years old and I wanted nothing more than a German shepherd. When I got her, I realized she was a lot more work then I could have imagined. When Hadley first went to Garret (6 months old) she barked whenever she wanted to, bit people frequently, and had plenty bad habits. When she came home, she sat quietly without being told to, doesn't bite, and does all of the basics including; sit, stay, lay down, heel, come, inside (crate), and more perks all with hand commands. She never snatches food off the table or chases after people or dogs. The E-Collar came with the training and works great as well as the pinch collar, Garret taught us how to use both of them humanly. She can also hang out with us in the kitchen, living room, and pretty much everywhere else without causing trouble which was absolutely not possible before. All throughout the process, Garret texted us with process and uploaded instagram, facebook, and youtube pictures and videos. At first, my parents were totally on board with sending Hadley away for a month. But they now realize it was the best decision we could have made. Thank you so much Garret for making Hadley such an amazing dog and part of the family! More...

I just got my dog back after 3 weeks away, I have to say, if I didn’t know any better I thought I had received someone else’s dog. I am at a lost for words, words cannot begin to express how impressed I am with the level of obedience my dog currently posses. When my dog was returned, Wing took the time to go over every command and answered every question I had. He even made himself available should I have any questions in the future. My dog was treated with respect and care this was apparent watching them work together. I am extremely pleased with the level of service American Standard Dog Training has provided. If anyone is looking for someone to train your dog and not worry about their pet’s well being American Standard Dog Training is the place. More...

Structured and in-depth training! My Corso is the one in the videos. Due to his potential size ( his sire is 155lbs, uncle 160 lbs @ 2 yrs old) it was and is important for my puppy to receive the best training possible. It created a baseline of communication and understanding between me & my Pup. I’m actually dropping him back off in September for more training! More...
