Testimonials
“We have a young rat terrier who’s an adorable little bundle of nerves. We’d already completed training at two other places, after which she started resource guarding me from my husband. It was super stressful and frustrating for all of us. I reached out to 410 K9, and Ali called me back to talk through what was going on. I decided to give it a shot, and after our very first session, I felt hopeful that things could get better. Now, after eight sessions, I’ve seen so much improvement — both in our dog and in us. She’s calmer, less reactive, and we understand how to help her. Ali explains things in ways that just make sense and addresses the problems – the dog’s and ours. The dog loves him, can’t take her eyes off of him and his treat bag. I’d 100% recommend Ali and 410 K9. If we ever get another dog, he’ll be my first call.”

“Ali successfully trained our shy Dutch Shepherd and reactive rescue simultaneously. He is excellent at explaining the ‘why’ behind training tools and was incredibly patient and wonderful with our Autistic son. Highly recommend!”
– Reviewer
“We adopted our 1 year old pitbull back in January and couldn’t understand how to properly communicate with him. He was getting into scuffles with our other dog and we were just so lost. Ali came in and just completely saved our new little family! Extremely knowledgeable and explained things so openly. After our first of 8 sessions Oscar was like a totally different pup!”
