Growing up, I had a black and white English Springer Spaniel, named "Springer" (original, I know!), who truly was my best friend. He and I spent a lot of time together and became inseparable. He was a very sweet and smart pup, and I taught him a few tricks over time. One day in the garage, I showed my dad a new trick I had been teaching him, and my dad just happened to respond with "That's very go
od. That was the first time I had thought of that possibility as a career, and instantly I knew that was what I wanted to do with my life! I called a local dog training facility and got hired on as a decoy to take bites in the suit for protection training, and eventually worked my way up over the years. With those years of experience and training, combined with my going through additional specialty training programs, and even gaining some experience working with exotic animals at a facility that trained them for tv and movies, I began to hone my personal training techniques and eventually realized that in order for me to continue to improve on these methods and techniques, and to provide the best quality and outcome for both the dogs and their owners, I would need to set out on my own. My wife and I founded K DanielS K-9 Academy in 2019, and since then it has developed a great reputation in the Southern California animal-professionals community, and more recently, in the Colorado Springs area of Colorado as well! Our goal is to provide the highest quality training for you and your pups. Teaching them with lots of love and praise, and with an extensive knowledge of canine psychology, using their natural instincts and pack mentality, we bring out their confidence and love of working with you as a team. Helping your dog and you build a better and stronger bond and more loving relationship together than you ever knew was possible. A happy and confident dog is a dog that is fulfilled, mentally and emotionally balanced, and loves what they are doing! Passionate. Patient. Persistent. Pet-lover. These are just a few of the characteristics that describe our style of training and care for your dogs. I know there are common characteristics across the different breeds, but every dog has their own unique personality, and I’ll work with yours to give them guidance that is tailored to their, and your, specific needs.
