Trouwe Hond K-9

We cannot recommend Dave at Trouwe Hond K-9 highly enough. Dave worked with our Cane Corso, Draco, through a two-week board and train program that truly took his basic obedience to the next level. From the start, it was clear that Dave is exceptionally skilled, confident, and experienced—especially with large, powerful breeds. The progress Draco made was incredible. His eye contact, listening skills, and overall obedience improved significantly, and we were able to fine-tune his foundation training to begin protection work, which Draco absolutely loves. Just as important, the training built confidence not only in Draco but also in us as handlers. We now feel completely comfortable bringing other people around him, knowing he will remain calm, focused, and well-behaved. Dave’s ability to

We loved working with David. He’s the GOAT of dog trainers. He helped us so much with our 6 month old Cane Corso. We learned many things to help with training our Corso. Our Corso did the one week course and upon pick up we had a class and then a follow up class one week later. David is very professional, detailed and knowledgeable, he is a very passionate teacher, caring not only for the dogs but also the owners. If you need a recommendation for an experienced dog trainer then David is it, we researched many other trainers but David’s name was on the top of the list. His many years of experience along with other reviews made our choice incredibly easy. We have the tools we need to raise a good and healthy puppy.

Jeff is our 11 month old 10lb Havanese. He displayed dominant behavior utilizing his ear splitting bark to get his way. He got fired from the dog sitter for being so “loud and annoying”. We live in an apartment so crate training was difficult. Jeff would scream and cry and we didn’t want to bother our neighbors. We also were feeding him too much and too often. He was so crazy he wouldn’t settle until he literally exhausted himself and fell asleep. I’d walk him multiple miles and let him run around the park and he’d still be nuts at home. Dave took Jeff and established a base line for his behavior. He fixed his feeding. He was great at teaching us humans how to maintain and invest in Jeff’s behavior. We’ve had Jeff back for a few days and he’s been amazing. He sleeps in the crate through t

Both my wife Amy and myself can't thank Dave enough. We had planned a vacation to visit family on the west coast and were not able to cancel. In the interim we added Duke a 3.5 lb 4 month old Yorkie to our family. We wanted a safe place for boarding and training. Saw the reviews for Dave and reached out to him. Duke did not pay attention to us and just seemed to not want to listen. We chalked it up to being a puppy. Dave let us know that Duke had a dominant personality and a leader of the pack mentality. Well after a week with Dave and the follow up session, Duke while still a puppy is obediant and really thriving. Dave treats each dog on a one on one basis. He works with all shapes and sizes of dogs. Also his facilities are spotless. We would recommend Dave to any dog owner. Thank you, J

Having never worked with a dog trainer I was really hoping to avoid the nightmares that others have about working with multiple trainers before finding the right one… well, I couldn’t be more happy with the learning and teaching that my wife and I have been able to take away from Dave and goes without saying our German Shepherd “Wess”. We brought our 4 month German Shepherd to Dave, and completed a 1 week board and train in August to lay a foundation for Wess and us, and most recently just completed another 1 week board and train to build on that foundation and start off-leash and e-collar work. The investment has been well worth its weight in gold and every time we have brought Wes’s back to our Home you can immediately see the impact the training has had on him, but more importantly we
