My partner and I recently worked with Or, a dog trainer who offered a comprehensive approach tailored to my dog Nico’s needs. The trainer helped me identify the root cause of Nico’s misbehavior and guided me through the steps to achieve lasting obedience. This experience gave me a deeper understanding of dog behavior and effective behavior modification techniques. Within just six weeks of training, Nico was able to heel, reliably recall, and walk on a leash without pulling. Additionally, the trainer provided invaluable advice that helped me reduce Nico’s anxiety by clearly establishing his place in our home. Before training, Nico had been destroying household items, including furniture and shoes, out of anxiety. Thanks to the tips and techniques we learned, Nico hasn’t destroyed anything since. A key part of the training involved consistent homework to reinforce the new habits at home, ensuring that Nico’s progress was maintained. The trainer not only helped us pinpoint the source of Nico’s anxiety but also taught us how to effectively manage a stressed dog. I highly recommend this trainer to anyone struggling with similar issues.

I could write a novel about how wonderful my experience has been with K9 Pack Dog Training. Or is the best! He’s so informed and patient with you and your pup! His board and train program turned my anxious, energetic puppy into a confident (albeit still energetic but that’s just his personality) well mannered little guy! Not only is my relationship with my little buddy better than ever but I’ve also learned how to read him as well as be a better parent/friend/teacher too. Couldn’t recommend K9 enough. If you have any doubts, let them die here! Will definitely be back!!

I have a Dominate Male Saint Bernard that, to say the least, is a handful. In his younger days he was a lunger. At 110 pounds that bothered most. Prior to the lockdown he was settled down enough that I could walk him thru a swap meet without issues. Then the lockdown came along and he didn’t see people out and about for 18 months. As we slowly started getting out he started having issues with people and mid to large dogs. Walks became a challenge and I needed help. I’ve been thru three different “Trainers” in the past so finding another was going to be a challenge. In my search this time I wanted someone who was versed in “Behavior Modification“. I found the K9 Pack. This place was not just around the corner for me however I felt it was worth the effort to have a chat with Or. After all it only cost some time and gas to get there. What I found was an inconspicuous ranch style setup where I had about an hour talk about what I was trying to achieve. I left feeling that this could what I was looking for, however, one never knows. After my first visit to the ranch., there was noticeable difference in how I was dealing with my dog and how he was reacting to my request. By the end of my third visit. I was able to get into a comfort zone and Or started working on All My BAD HABITS, there were many. As of now I’ve been to the ranch a total of eight times. I’m into my second set of visits and now I can walk my dog encounter people, some with dogs, and have very little reactions from mine. If there is any reaction, it can be corrected quickly and calmly. I cannot stress enough that what you will learn from his sessions will change how you interact with any dog, and you can no longer have your dog walking you. But enjoying a relaxing walk in the park, with people wishing their dog was like yours.

When I got my dog Raijin last year in March, I really was unprepared. I didn’t know what I didn’t know. I was sold a pomsky puppy which turned out to be some kind of Husky /wolf mutt, and as he kept growing I became more and more out of my depth. My tiny dog was now 50 pounds and gaining, and I didnt know who could help me, as my previous dog trainer was completely unprepared for this little stud. When Or’s lovely assistant reached out to me for a consultation I was ready to be disappointed again. But then I showed up at his property, and my and my dogs energy shifted. It’s a beautiful piece of land, perfect for honing dog training skills, and Or himself is the crown jewel. He’s elegant, articulate, and knows the animals better than 99.99% of trainers I’ve met, because he succeeds in connecting with the dogs he trains. Or treated my pup like I would, and I couldn’t ask for more out of a first meeting. I signed my pup over to him right away to begin training his wild mindset to get him obsessed with obedience. I came back around 2 weeks later to a dog who was damn near smarter than me. My dog had every single skill to be a polite and social boy, and Or took the time and sessions to actually teach me how to maintain and promote these behaviors - something I’ve NEVER had offered to me before, that I now see is the most essential part of doggy training. Thanks to Or, both my pup and I are much better trained, better equipped to learn new things together, and go out into the world as super awesome companions. Thank god for this man and his team 🙏🏼
