Testimonials
“We just picked up Vulcan and he’s so much calmer and enjoyable to be around. Bob and his staff have been miracle workers! Vulcan was a hyper mess, always jumping on us and just a wild man. He is coming home a wonderful dog. Thanks again to Precision K9”
– Pam S
“Bob does an excellent job with the dogs and with helping the owners learn how to work with their dog. I am very grateful for all his help. I feel he has gone above and beyond to help Raksha be the best dog she can be.”
– Jennifer B
“We just had our first training lesson with Bob. He did a great job working with Bowie and helped us out immensely. I would definitely recommend him to anybody that needs training with their puppy or their dog no matter what age. He could always teach them something new.”

About the Trainer
Precision K9 Training is dedicated to helping you improve the ultimate relationship with your dog. Successful dog training isn’t about control, it’s about mutual trust and respect. Learning to communicate with your dog in his own language is key in developing the trust and respect necessary in achieving a well-mannered family pet.
Precision K9 Training will teach you how to be a fair and effective leader. They believe dogs are pack animals and that owners must have the knowledge and skills to become the pack leader, which is described as fair, balanced, and humane, not dominant or forceful. This approach aims to develop a partnership and an unbreakable bond based on mutual trust and respect.
They offer a variety of training options, stating that their methods virtually eliminate the potential for behavioral problem development. They emphasize that the education provided forms the foundation for a dog’s lifetime behavior and personality, and understanding a dog’s natural language and abilities is essential for an ultimate, lifelong relationship.
