Our trainer Gary was very knowledgeable. I have a high energy dog and he worked with Gary like a dream. I will defiantly be taking a second class at Aspire K9 Academy
Gary has been very helpful guiding me through my dogs reactivity to other dogs using positive training methods. He's very organized and methodical in his teaching methods. His knowledge regarding dog behavior and different breed characteristics are top notch. He works hard to create an individualized training program to meet your needs.
We are amazed with the results that we have been seeing with our dog. We're learning how to take full advantage of her personality in training her and how to help her overcome some of her own fears and anxieties. The psychology behind training a dog is fascinating and Gary is the one who knows all about that. It's amazing to see him in action.
I take my dog to train with Mr. Gary, he is very professional and , explaining things in detail, for me he is the best dog trainer and I recommend him 100%.
