Full Contact K9

I have been a customer of Full Contact K9 (Evan Dunbar) for around fifteen years. Throughout that time, Evan was always there to help me raise and care for the dogs. I am now into my second generation of Full Contact K9 German Shepherds. When my first Full Contact K9 (Rearden Steel) was dying around the age of twelve, Evan helped counsel me and even gave me homemade beef marrow broth to help nurse Rearden in his final days. Without a doubt, the best pet decision I ever made was to go to Full Contact K9.

Evan is incredible, I would very highly recommend his services for anyone serious about training their dog. I had a reactive German Shepherd that exhibited fear-based aggression with strangers, and from our very first session Evan approached him with a practical mindset that quickly diagnosed his underlying confidence issues and helped me to reorient that behavior with tangible training drills. Within the matter of a few months, I went from having a dog that was unable to meet new people to comfortably taking him out in public settings, while also learning some new commands along the way. 10/10!

Evan came very highly recommended from a trusted veterinarian doctor friend of mine. When I asked her who she would recommend for dog training, her response was immediately "hands down, Evan Dunbar" and she was absolutely right! Evan is very knowledgeable in working with all types of breeds and temperaments of dogs. Unlike typical obedience school training that feel very generalized, he helps owners understand their dogs and how/why they behave or respond in certain ways and then works with them uniquely to ensure the best outcomes. Training is done individually or in very small groups. We saw other dogs that trained alongside us that had various behavior issues, and within only a few training sessions started seeing how training was improving their behavior and obedience and continued to improve each week. I can't say enough great things about our experience, and we were saddened when our doggo finally graduated and that we reached the end of her training. All these 5-star reviews are spot on, if you're looking for any sort of training and/or behavior correction for your dog, contact Full Contact K9! Oh, he also trains protection dogs, and I highly recommend if you work with Evan to stick around one day and watch those training sessions! Super cool to watch!

I took Nina my Belgian Malinois to Evan when she was around 2/3month old. My dog was nervy, barked at everything and everyone. Evan showed and taught me many things to build her confidence. My dog was backyard breaded and we didn’t know how she would grow up and be. With Evan he showed me how to properly train her and have an excellent foundation and obedience with Nina. Starting with Nina sitting, laying down, and going into her place by command. Then to Nina having a focus heel and walking without pulling on leash. Finally doing some neat tricks like spinning, and Nina coming immediately towards me when being called. Excellent experience with Evan. Will Definitely be working with him again in the future!

My mom was always unsure about getting a dog but, my dad always wanted one so did me and my siblings. When we came in and watched some of the dogs Evan has trained, my mom was on board because of how well behaved they were. Our dog Viking was the best fit for our family. He is very well behaved because Evan takes his time to make sure that the owner and the dog understand each other. One of the main reasons we got Viking was to be a protection dog and Evan has taught him very well. We are very pleased with the entire experience. We would highly recommend getting a dog and training with full contact support K9.
