Master K9 Dog Training

Dan provides customized training programs based on each dog’s specific behavioral issues. Sessions are 60-90 minutes long and typically occur in the client’s home or at a facility. Training includes foundational obedience, leash walking, recall, and behavior modification using e-collars and positive reinforcement. Owners are taught to continue training with short, frequent daily sessions. Progress is tracked through video updates and family education. Graduation often includes a real-world test at a dog park.

Master K9 Dog Training is run by Dan, a retired police officer and K9 handler with 30 years of experience training dogs. He specializes in behavior modification for issues like reactivity, fear aggression, resource guarding, separation anxiety, leash pulling, jumping, barking, and recall. Dan provides personalized training plans using e-collars, slip leads, and positive reinforcement techniques, and he also offers boarding services. He works with dogs of all ages and sizes, helping owners build trust and reliability even in high-distraction environments like dog parks. Dan and his wife Meg are known for their flexibility, communication, and willingness to go above and beyond for clients, including helping families during personal crises.

They offer in-home and facility-based training sessions, and they educate owners on how to continue training at home with short daily sessions. Their clients report dramatic improvements in their dogs’ behavior, with many achieving off-leash reliability and confidence in public spaces.

Dan also trains dogs for recall, door manners, and overcoming fears like sudden movements or water bottles, and he adapts sessions to the dog’s attention span by incorporating other dogs when needed.
