Testimonials
“Precision K9 is the best place to get your dog trained. Gaston is amazing. We brought our puppy who had a biting/nipping, hair pulling problem, and she ate EVERYTHING, and ran away when trying to crate her. This was becoming a big problem to me and my 6 year old. I was constantly anxious about this pup who was going to be HUGE. We brought her to Precision K9 Shaping. Getting her back after three weeks, she’s an ANGEL. She’s a completely different dog, no nipping, and responding to commands like a champ. It’s like a weight has been lifted. Gaston is very communicative, extremely knowledgeable, and professional. He’s a miracle worker! Book with him. I promise you will not be disappointed! I’ve never boarded any of my dogs but now I feel 100% confident that they will be well cared for at their facility. We will be using the boarding soon. It’s immaculately kept and the people are very nice. They go above and beyond.”

“Precision K9 is the BEST place to get your dog trained. Gaston is THE MAN! no breed or problem is too difficult for Gaston. My fiancé and I got our XL bully trained by Gaston and she is an excellent dog. We are extremely happy with the results. It doesn’t end with sending your dog away for 3-4 weeks, Gaston is always readily available for any questions or concerns and will make house visits to train your dog in their comfort zone. Precision also puts on group training classes (which we attended today) working your dog in high stimulus environment which helps the dogs that do not get much exposer with other dogs and people. We recommend to anyone as it overall makes you better and your dog better with a neutral communication and understanding. We ONLY trust being around other handlers and other dogs if they have been trained at precision K9!”
– Kayla
“We cannot say enough great things about Gaston and Precision K9 Shaping! Our dog struggled with aggression, leash manners, and overall obedience, and we were at a loss for how to help him. I was especially nervous about leaving my boy because of his uneasiness with strangers, but Gaston and his team quickly put my mind at ease. The videos they sent during his first week showed him fully engaged with Gaston, responding well, and showing no signs of distress at all. Seeing that transformation so quickly relieved my anxiety and reassured me that he was in the best hands. Gaston not only worked wonders at the facility but has also gone above and above by making house calls to ensure that what our boy learned there translated seamlessly into our home environment. Thanks to his expertise, we can now correct our dog without yelling or using physical force—something we truly appreciate. The transformation has been incredible, and we feel so much more confident in handling our pup. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated trainer, we highly recommend Gaston and Precision K9 Shaping. We are beyond grateful for the whole crew!”
