Unleashed K9 Academy, LLC

Derek did an AMAZING job with our Belgian Malinois! As a retired K9 officer with his own Mali, I knew he was the perfect trainer for our mali puppy. He is extremely knowledgeable and knew exactly what our dog needed, and helped me learn how to handle him, which is just as important as the training itself. Derek is precise in his teaching and was compassionate toward our dog, our dog responded well to him and loved working with him. You could tell he loves working qith dogs and cares for his clients. His training at various locations provides real world application and understanding of our dog. I highly recommend using Unleashed K9 Academy and would go back for follow up sessions as needed.

I am so happy with the training that Derek did with my two dogs. He had his hands full with my reactive 3 year old pit mix along with her completely opposite sister that had absolutely no confidence in herself. During the two week boarding process I received picture, video, text and phone call updates. He responded to every in-between texts as well. I overly enjoyed the extremely thorough pick up process. He dedicated his afternoon to walk me through both of my dogs new training plans. I am excited to continue the training and cannot wait to give him an update on their progress. I am grateful for his support.

We sent our 2 dogs to Derek for a 2 week board and train to work on behavior issues and general obedience. Our pit mix is very stubborn (one of the top 5 most stubborn Derek said he has worked with) but he got through to him. Our Shephard mix lacks impulse control but is getting better with it. We still have work to do with them, but they have come so far and we can't thank Derek enough! Would highly recommend Unleashed K9 Academy.

My husband and I *highly* recommend Unleashed K9 Academy for board and train. We did research for weeks trying to find the right place to send our working line German Shepherd, and if we could go back and do it again we would always choose Unleashed. Derek knew exactly how to interact with our dog and on the day we dropped him off we left feeling very comfortable and informed. Our questions were all answered in an honest and straightforward way and we never felt judged for the mistakes we may have been making with our dog. Derek is a knowledgeable, confident, and very talented trainer. Our German Shepherd walked in with very reactive behavior, especially toward other dogs. He left with the ability to literally walk circles around other dogs and keep his focus on his handler. We genuinely

AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! Derek did a great job training our Doberman Lily. It was amazing how well behaved she came home . She had a bad habit of jumping and came home much calmer and attentive . She hardly jumps up at all !!! 😄Her walking on a leash improved 100%!! You can definitely tell the bond that was shared between the 2 of them in 2 short weeks. It was money well spent and we would highly recommend him! We are thrilled with the changes, we couldn’t be happier !
