After only our first session/introduction I've seen a difference in my 2 yr old pitty. I've had issues with her pulling me on walks, jumping in excitement when seeing/meeting people and just overall listening to commands.

We spent 1 hour with Antonio and his staff and the results are unbelievable. We have a 5 month old Poodle- German Shepard puppy and the instructions we were shown have improved the behavior of Rufus. Highly recommended to any puppy or dog owner. ... Everything Antonio explained to us made sense and works. Thank you Spitz K9.read more

Antonio and his staff were great with our lab, Marco! He was very responsive to all of my questions and concerns, and they were great about posting video updates during Marco’s training. We are so excited to utilize all of the new skills Marco... learned at his training. We will absolutely be back for boarding in the future. Thank you!!read more

I had my 5-year=old German Shepherd boarded and trained at SpitzeK9 for 3 weeks. My family and I were able to view daily videos of her progress. We were surprised and pleased to see her responses and improved behavior. This is what we expected and... we were certainly not disappointed. Antonio brought her home and patiently went through the training process with me, explaining the techniques and asking frequently if I had any questions. My amazement was when he removed her leash and had me walk with her giving her the commands. I was very apprehensive at first. We were walking outside on our street but she performed well, as she did on the leash. Antonio expressed joy in seeing her performance. He shows such concern in promoting excellent behavior from the dogs in his care. I certainly would recommend him to anyone who needs help training their dogs. It is very personal to him to make your dog a good K9 citizen.read more

We used SpitzeK9 for private in-home training sessions when we first got our puppy. Antonio was very receptive to our and our puppy’s needs, and gave us solid tips and assignments to work on in the weeks in between our sessions.

We did board and train program and Antonio responded to all our messages and check ins... on our pup. They posted a bunch of videos and it was cool to see the process and the progress they made with my dog. Can't thank them enough!read more

Antionio has helped us so much, we have a 10 month old very smart and feisty Australian Shepherd, I could not take her on walks because she barked and was out of control anytime she saw a dog, a child, or an adult walking towards us. I was skeptical... about the e-collar and now understand that it is a necessary tool in modifying and eliminating these behaviors. We now can take walks thru children at the park, she can sit next to other dogs, and we are no longer fighting her instincts in public. She is happy too as she was anxious and that is corrected. He clearly loves dogs and has a great sense of what they need. He also helped me to understand that it about safety as well.read more

Antonio was extremely knowledgeable, professional and above all friendly and personable. He taught us so much in such a way that he seemed like like a long time friend. Dog training to me is more of owner training so we can be good pet owners. He... made us feel comfortable and confident that we can get our pack under control. Looking forward to working with Antonio and his company.read more
