Anderson K9 Training, LLC

Asa was an amazing trainer and an overall amazing human! We contacted him to help with our pit bull mix, Hank, who had some anxiety and territorial issues. We had contacted other trainers in the area, who had suggested putting him on anxiety meds, and that’s not something we felt comfortable doing. We also had a new baby coming and we wanted to make sure Hank would adjust and adapt well to the changes. Asa was able to teach us techniques and exercises to use that really resonated with Hank. A few months later, and I can’t believe he is the same dog! He is not only more relaxed and behaved, but is adjusting to his new human brother addition to the “pack”. If we could give Asa 10 stars, we would. Thank you again!!

With Anderson K9 Training, you can teach an old dog new tricks! My husband & I brought our two 8 year old German Shepherds, Bear & Bull, to Anderson K9 Training to work on their aggressive behaviors towards other dogs. Due to a recent cohabitating living situation with friends & their dog, modifying this behavior became a priority. We were nervous with their older age they would be unwilling to change but Asa provided us the tools & knowledge that transformed this aggressive behavior in both dogs. Asa is a world class k9 trainer that we highly recommended for basic training to aggressive behavior modifications. For the first time in 8 years I can have stress free enjoyable walks with both dogs, and for that, I am very thankful.

Asa is one of those rare individuals who is truly comfortable inside his own skin. His ability to communicate his years of experience in an intelligent and straightforward manner, puts him in a very small group of among the best instructors I’ve ever seen. During my first visit two very large German shepherds are brought in by another federal officer, they were extremely excited, but Asa made it look easy. His ability to translate, his experience to us inspires confidence in our ability to train a dog following his instruction.

My experience with Anderson K9 Training was phenomenal!! I have a 4 year old-120 pound Rottweiler who has always been a gentle giant and an amazing dog since we got him as a puppy. Some annoying behaviors my dog would do is he would pull/bark at other dogs during walks and he would get super excited when guests would come over (occasionally jumping on them). My main concern was my wife and I recently brought a new born baby home and the Rottweiler became extremely stressed and anxious. He was super curious about the baby and would not stop panting, whining, and barking. My wife and I were always on edge monitoring the dogs behavior making sure he was staying away from the baby. I even slept in a different room with the dog as we did not feel comfortable with the dog sleeping in the same room with us and the baby. I searched the web and contacted some local trainers. The trainers I spoke to weren’t really what I was looking for. One trainer suggested anxiety medication which seemed like a temporary fix and did not seem right to me. I came across Anderson K9 Training and read Asa’s experience as a former State Trooper working in the K9 Unit. I immediately signed up for training and I can now say I feel comfortable with my dog around my newborn. (Attached is a pic of how he now knows to respect the babies boundaries). He also no longer barks at other dogs during walks and no longer jumps on guests! Asa also provided me with teaching techniques where I could continue reinforcing the training at home. Asa thank you again and keep being amazing!

Asa is an amazing trainer! He is so kind and so patient. We brought our dog to him for behavior modification training/board and train after he had lunged at a few people and bit someone. It has been 3 months since we picked our dog up and he is still responding well to the training. At drop off we were so nervous because our dog is a rescue and we didn’t want him to feel abandoned, Asa reassured us and talked through any concerns. He gave us updates often on Duke’s progress. Upon pick up, he was just as kind and just as patient training us on how to continue the training at home. He let us know that Duke would test us when we got home and he was absolutely right. Although he was testing us, we felt confident in what Asa had taught us and Duke. When we picked my dog up and I was 9 months pregnant and due 5 days after, I went into labor that day, so def bonus points there haha! If your dog needs any type of behavior modification training, this is your place to go!
