"David has trained all my dogs. 5 to be exact. Money well spent. I now have the life I dreamed of, with my disciplined dogs. I highly recommend this trainer."

“Exceptional Dog Trainer – Highly Recommend SRT-K9! I had the pleasure of working with SRT-K9 to train my two Labrador Retrievers from the time they were puppies until they turned two years old. The results have been outstanding, and I couldn't be happier with the progress they’ve made. SRT-K9 provided comprehensive obedience training, ensuring both of my dogs are well-mannered and responsive in any situation. They are now impeccably kennel trained, making travel and daily routines much easier. But what truly sets SRT-K9 apart is the expert training in developing my labs into exceptional working bird dogs. Their instincts have been finely tuned, and they now perform with precision and confidence in the field. The team at SRT-K9 is not only highly skilled but also patient and attentive to each dog's unique needs and temperament. The transformation in my labs' behavior and abilities is a testament to the quality of the training they received. If you're looking for a trainer who can take your dogs from basic obedience to specialized skills, I highly recommend SRT-K9."

“David worked wonders with my hard-headed Golden Retriever. Before training, walks were a struggle and commands were often ignored—but thanks to David’s structured approach and deep understanding of dog behavior, everything changed. My dog now listens, responds to commands, and actually cares about consequences. David is incredibly patient, kind, and caring with the dogs in his care, and he made the process so reassuring by sending regular text updates, photos, and videos of my dog’s progress. The best part? We can finally enjoy off-leash adventures together with confidence. I can’t recommend SRT K9 Training enough!”

“I haved known David for well over 25 years and had the privilege of seeing him handle each of his police dogs. When my 1 year old pup started to show aggression with other dogs, I immediately turned to David for help. As he taught Frankie to show better obedience and manners, he taught me how to expect this from him and how to navigatge his particular challenges as his pack leader. He gave us both confidence and helped build a stronger bond of trust that makes everyday life a joy. As a human and as a K9 trainer, you will be hardpressed to find someone better and I wholeheartedly recommend him without hesitation.”

I can’t say enough good things about David and SRT K9 Training. I got Meesha, my Belgian Malinois, from a reputable working-dog breeder in Philadelphia that specializes in dogs like explosive detection K9s. Meesha and I bonded immediately on the drive back to Texas—but she was also an absolute tornado. Smart, driven, nonstop energy, and completely capable of turning my world upside down. I had done a ton of research trying to find someone I trusted to train a dog like her and wasn’t having much luck. Then, completely by chance, I met David while getting breakfast tacos. I noticed his shirt, we started talking dogs, and that random meeting turned out to be one of the best things that could have happened for Meesha. I eventually trusted David with her for an extended board-and-train. I’m not exaggerating when I say that the very first video he sent me blew me away. Meesha was already heeling and responding in ways I hadn’t been able to achieve with her. From there, I watched her progress to taking commands like down, sit and stay from 50 yards away. The transformation was incredible. What I appreciate even more is that David’s involvement didn’t end when the initial training was over. He continues to work with Meesha, works with me so I know how to maintain her training, and regularly reaches out about refreshers. Honestly, he probably calls me more than I call him to make sure Meesha stays sharp. That kind of commitment and follow-through is hard to find. And the best endorsement probably comes from Meesha herself. Around my house, David is “Uncle David.” When he pulls up, she practically wants to tear the door down trying to get into his van because she knows exactly where she’s going and can’t wait to go with him. That tells me everything I need to know about how she’s treated when she’s in his care. I’ve also watched David work with dogs completely different from Meesha—from high-drive working dogs to lovable family pets—and his ability to connect with them and get results is impressive. I trusted David and SRT K9 Training with a dog that means the world to me. I’ve seen the results firsthand, I continue to use him, and I absolutely recommend him. And if Meesha could leave her own review, Uncle David would definitely get five stars. 🐾
