410K9

410 K9 is, without a doubt, the best dog trainer we could have ever hoped for. Watching Bentley’s transformation has been nothing short of amazing. When we first started, I hoped for progress—but what we received was far beyond anything I imagined. Bentley is more confident, more focused, and genuinely happier, and it’s all thanks to the patience, skill, and heart that 410 K9 brings to every session. They don’t just train dogs—they build trust, connection, and understanding. The care they’ve shown Bentley has meant the world to us, and seeing him grow into his best self has been incredibly emotional and rewarding. I’m truly grateful for everything they’ve done. 410 K9 has made a lasting difference in our lives, and I would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone.

We met Ali by chance at Home Depot. He was training another dog and we had been desperately searching for a dog trainer. I talked to the couple and liked what they were telling me about Ali and his program. A few minutes later we spoke to him about our pup, Chesapeake. Chesapeake was (at the time) a 4 month old lab puppy who was having some behavior problems. We couldn’t walk him because he pulled so hard he injured my shoulder. He was mouthing us anytime we tried to pet him. You couldn’t greet people without him jumping and mouthing at them. We were afraid to have him around our grandchildren as he was getting bigger and the mouthing was scaring them. We felt like we couldn’t enjoy our pup - which was sad because we love him. We called Ali the following week and set up a consultation. We met with him at a park and discussed our boy with him. Ali trained Chesapeake, and us, for 8 weeks. By the end of the 8 weeks, my grandson (7 yrs old) was not only able to walk him on a leash but could also give him commands that Chesapeake followed. We took Chesapeake to many different locations during training (parking lots, Home Depot, park, and even our own house) and were able to not only walk him with distractions, but also to set him in a “place” command and walk away without the fear of him getting up or moving. We have been so pleased with Ali and his firm but fair training program. It has given us a dog that not only respects our commands but is a beautiful addition to our family. Our pup is happier now and loves to get attention. He also loves to “work” on his commands. He is a happy pup and not only can we go on walks together but I hardly even have to hold the leash and he stays right beside me. Week 8 was hard to end our program and we miss our weekly meetings with Ali. Not only was he our pup’s trainer, he became a trusted friend. I would highly recommend Ali and his program to anyone who has a pup. Whether you are looking to fix behaviors or just add some new training, Ali and 410K9 is the right place to train your pup

TL;DR: 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! Full Review: We originally contacted Ali for our Dutch Shepherd, but he recommended training our reactive rescue dog alongside him. It was the best decision we could have made. Here is why we highly recommend Ali: • Amazing Results: Our shy Shepherd came out of his shell, and our reactive rescue learned to be calm around other dogs, even in chaotic environments. • Owner Education: He didn't just train the dogs; he trained us. He explained the purpose of every tool and taught us how our own body language affects the dogs. • Wonderful with our Family: Ali included our Autistic son in the training, teaching him to control the dogs in a way that was enjoyable and empowering. My son was actually sad when the sessions ended! • Flexible & Accommodating: Ali was easy to work with and tailored the experience to our specific family needs. If you are looking for a trainer who gets results and truly cares, I highly recommend him.

Ali is an incredible trainer! Even before we met in person for him to evaluate Oscar, he had me at ease and full of hope from a phone conversation. 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. Personal training I felt was our last option or we would have been an adoption fail. 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! We were able to take those tools and allow him to finally be a dog!! I 1000% recommend 410K9 to anyone that needs a more personable touch in training efforts for their fur child! He even gave us the opportunity to train our current older dog with the same questions and tool set. I am beyond grateful to have found Ali!!

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.
