About
At The K9 Expert we have rehabilitated 100's of dogs with behavioral issues. We want to understand the science of the behavior. By assessing the canine on a free evaluation we can then offer a solution. During the rehabilitation period the canines mental stimulation is one of our main focuses. Our trainers use your canines NATURAL "drive" to bring out what comes NATURAL. We train dogs and give the owners the skills to maintain a balanced and happy dog. A happy pet makes for a happy family. In Home Dog Training The K9 Expert now offers a variety of In Home Dog Training options for owners that want their dog trained efficiently without kenneling them. With our In Home training programs, we come to your home and spend several hours training your dog to ensure that they are well mannered members of your family. Our In Home training packages allow our dog trainers an opportunity to work with our clients one-on-one and to observe the dog in it’s natural environment. With our In Home dog training programs, our trainers come to your home several times each week and work with your dog for several hours during each session. These training sessions will involve focused training exercises, walks in the neighborhood and socialization exercises when necessary. Once each week, the trainer will work individually with the owner(s) and other members of the family to show them what the dog has learned and what they have accomplished during their training sessions that week. This session will also give the dog owners an opportunity to ask questions about the training and get advice on how to maintain the training and good behaviors that have been instilled in each session.

I have worked with Drew (the K9 expert ) with two dogs- one for basic training- one for a medical alert service dog. Both dog have exceeded my expectations for training! Drew not only trains the dog but the owner to have a great relationship with the dog! She even flies on planes with me successfully now!

Drew & Aidan have been excellent trainers for our dog Georgia. Georgia is a pit mix we rescued almost a year ago, and is extremely attached and protective of us. Drew taught us and her the tools for Georgia to live a much more social life. Georgia also now listens and responds to every command we give. I highly recommend the K9expert for all dog training needs. We will definitely continue the training and use the offered group session!

I couldnt be happier with the training services provided for my 2 dogs, Mabel (7 month bernadoodle) and Duncan (6 year old goldendoodle - he was 1 year at the time of his training with Drew). From the very first consultation, it was clear that Drew is passionate about dogs and dedicated to helping owners create strong, positive relationships with their pets.The progress weve seen in such a short time is remarkableour walks are smoother, basic commands are followed with ease, and most importantly, my dog is more confident and well-behaved. Drew took the time to personalize the sessions to fit each of my dogs specific needs, and he was always available for follow-up questions.I highly recommend this service to anyone looking to improve their dogs behavior or simply strengthen the bond with their furry friend. Excellent experience all around.

Drew and Aiden saved our dog! We had a reactive Doberman that had gotten out of control. We put our hopes in Sit Means Sit, which eventually led to my fiancé being bit while on a walk. In utter defeat we called a Doberman surrender, which led us to K-9 Expert. The boarding changed our pups life and has allowed us to begin living the life we had envisioned for her. We can not recommend them enough.

I cannot say enough good things about Drew and the K9 experts. I recommend him to everybody that I see. And anyone who asks. He turned my dog from an uneducated monster into a therapy dog within a few months.
