My previous pups have been pits, but I recently adopted a Texas Heeler. This dog was unlike anything I've ever experienced (wild, no desire to listen, no desire to bond, nipping at everyone moving). I had no idea how to handle her. Thankfully, I found Gary. Gary's direction and focused training helped me form such a strong bond with my heeler which ultimately makes her want to listen to me and stay near me. Her behavior is a complete 180 from when we started with Gary, and I'm so thankful for finding him.

Gary Davydov of Aspire K-9 Academy is great. He’s very patient. He’s polite and kind and very knowledgeable. He’s very skilled in reading a pooch’s behavior and knows the psychology of the doggy mind. Everything he said made such sense, because it’s dog-logical! From the way and manner their food is served and the kind of food to offer in order to get the best behavior and most beneficial nutrition, he is an advocate of feeding and walking changes that can alter the results you can expect. Daily working with our dog in short two minutes sessions using his effective and clear communication methods makes it uncomplicated and manageable for our lifestyle. The takeaway is to reward her by making sure she gets paid handsomely for doing what is asked. And Yup! It works. You can trust Gary, he knows what he is doing with dogs inside out and backwards. He has worked with thousands of dogs, is open to questions, and has a wealth of knowledge in all areas canine. As a trainer of champions, he’s worked with all breeds, and sizes; big dogs, small dogs and even puppies. I guarantee you will love the service he provides and the training your dog gets from Gary. He is the best investment we have made in our year old pup so far.

This training saved my sanity! As first time dog owners, we were in a little over our heads but with Gary’s guidance and support, we and our puppy made huge improvements. Gary answered all of our questions and concerns during the sessions but also via email in between sessions. Highly recommend to any dog owners looking to improve their relationship with their dog.

Gary is a wealth of knowlege --he offers thoughtful dog training insights and techniques. I honestly felt like I understood my dog's needs and behaviors better after each session and I continue to use the activities he shared EVERY DAY. He also really loves dogs and really picked up on the unique personality and needs of my dog. Definitely would recommend!

Gary is absolutely fantastic! Like his training approaches and modalities, very organised, and super responsive. The tips he provided has worked efficiently for our dog who can from a rescue with several issues. I would highly recommend Gary to train your dog.
