Before working with Favian, my dog would constantly pull on walks, become possessive over toys and food, and struggled to channel his energy in a positive way. After spending two weeks in training, the transformation has been amazing. He’s much calmer, listens to commands, and walking him is now enjoyable.
I also left Milo with Favian for five days while I was on vacation, and I never had to worry. Milo had a great time, was well cared for, and came home happy. Favian and his team are people you can truly trust with your pet. They genuinely care about the dogs they work with, and it shows.
I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality training or a safe, trustworthy place to leave their dog.

Iron City K9 is truly exceptional — they didn’t just train my dog, they changed his entire life. Chance had severe fear aggression, and I was genuinely afraid to take him anywhere. He relied on a muzzle and a tight leash just to feel safe. After working with Iron City K9, he’s now confident, calm, and off‑leash trained. We saw this transformation in just 6 of our 12 sessions, and he continues to improve every day. I’ve never seen my dog this happy. If you’re struggling with behavior issues, I cannot recommend Iron City K9 highly enough.

Fabián is a excellent dog trainer and the service he provides is at a great price! Took both my dogs to receive dog training from him and I must say he trained them very well better than I ever could!
