Sassafras K-9 Training & Boarding Facility, LLC

We made our way to Sassafras K-9 via the recommendation of a friend who is in law enforcement. After several conversations with Ricky about himself, his background and what he offered, we chose to do the board and train with our 5.5 month old German Shepherd. Like Ricky, I had served in the military so I appreciated his straight forward approach in telling you how it is. After 4 weeks, we were supposed to pick her up on a Sunday, but when we called Ricky, he said that he would like to keep her a few more days because he wanted to do a little more work with her. We ran into a work conflict for the pick up date and without hesitation, he said, we could pick her up the following day. When we picked her up, he started out with a demonstration of the basic obedience he had taught her. We

Rick was recommended to me by two co-workers. I have been extremely pleased with his knowledge and service. Our puppy is doing great and I must give Rick all of the credit. He even make house calls to help you and your dog get through specific problems at home. I highly recommend Sassafras K-9 for anyone who is looking to get first class dog and puppy training. He will be my trainer for many years to come. Thanks again Rick!!

Sassafras K-9 has done great things for me and my dogs. Rick continues to train and board my dogs (One Belgian Malinois and the other Dutch Shepherd). He did an amazing job at tailoring his training for my needs. His attention to detail, taught me how to be a better owner and handler, by pointing out the small things like my tone with my dogs and excitement level when training. All those small details allowed me to more effectively communicate with my dogs, which made me and my dogs happier. Also, I think you will be more than pleased with his boarding facility. The Kennel Runs are always clean and the dogs get plenty of exercise. I would highly recommend anyone to Sassafras K-9.

Took my 5 month old shepherd to Rick for obedience and protection training and was extremely happy with the results once I picked him back up. We had issues with excitement pees and submissiveness and Rick did a fantastic job in correcting those issue. We are still working with Rick today and will continue to do so to develop our boy. Rick is an amazing trainer and would highly recommend to all for your needs regarding your dog. Absolutely fantastic. Kam

Rick absolutely knows his craft, and it shows through his passion for training, boarding and the overall care of dogs. He very skillfully trained my dog, who was once very unruly and disobedient. Not only have I witnessed his skills firsthand with my own dog, but I have seen him train the dogs of others, and he does it masterfully. I appreciate most that not only does he do an excellent job at training, but he also helps me to understand how to do it on my own. Rick is very patient and is willing to drive to my home to train my dog in my own environment (which sometimes makes it easier for me) or I can drop my dog off at his facility for training, which is VERY clean. I am awed with every interaction! If you are seeking a professional to train your dog, your search is over... your dog has
