Drew and Aiden saved our dog! We had a reactive Doberman that had gotten out of control. We put our hopes in Sit Means Sit, which eventually led to my fiancé being bit while on a walk. In utter defeat we called a Doberman surrender, which led us to K-9 Expert. The boarding changed our pups life and has allowed us to begin living the life we had envisioned for her. We can not recommend them enough.

Drew & Aidan have been excellent trainers for our dog Georgia. Georgia is a pit mix we rescued almost a year ago, and is extremely attached and protective of us. Drew taught us and her the tools for Georgia to live a much more social life. Georgia also now listens and responds to every command we give. I highly recommend the K9expert for all dog training needs. We will definitely continue the training and use the offered group session!

Ugh, if I could give zero stars, I would. I set up an evaluation and got a text saying they were on their way. A couple of hours later, I asked if everything was good, and they said they were dealing with an aggressive dog and had to reschedule. Whatever, but why say you're on your way if you're dealing with a dog like that? Anyway, a week goes by, and no one contacts me to reschedule, so I ask if they're even a real company. They say yes, so I ask when someone will contact me, and they say they were in a meeting all morning. It's been over a week! I say okay, and they give me the prices. I know it's a lot of money, but I'm willing to pay. I say it's fine, and week later, I still haven't heard anything about a new appointment. This is so unprofessional, and I'll never recommend them. It was the worst experience ever, and I'm taking my business elsewhere because over a thousand dollars for this kind of treatment is ridiculous. *update after owners response* not once was *doing me a favor*mentioned in our communication once not one time was it mentioned i was being squeezed in either. Also if text communication was an issue why did you have the entire conversation in text? You could of said please call us instead. Maybe don't make appointments if your unable to keep them and then not respond back to people. I can include the entire conversation.

I couldn’t be happier with the training services provided for my 2 dogs, Mabel (7 month bernadoodle) and Duncan (6 year old goldendoodle - he was 1 year at the time of his training with Drew). From the very first consultation, it was clear that Drew is passionate about dogs and dedicated to helping owners create strong, positive relationships with their pets.
The progress we’ve seen in such a short time is remarkable—our walks are smoother, basic commands are followed with ease, and most importantly, my dog is more confident and well-behaved. Drew took the time to personalize the sessions to fit each of my dog’s specific needs, and he was always available for follow-up questions.
I highly recommend this service to anyone looking to improve their dog’s behavior or simply strengthen the bond with their furry friend. Excellent experience all around.

Drew is an excellent dog trainer. He really knows how to handle dogs and Dog owners. He explained why our dog was pulling and show us how to correct the problems we were having. We now have a well behaved Akita with a good citizens certificate. We will definitely do more follow up training in the future.

We can’t say enough good things about K9 Expert. Drew was able to correct & teach our dog (and us!) so much faster than we ever could have expected. The lessons make sense & are easy to continue on our own. Having access to tips & reinforcement with group lessons is amazing, our dog’s behavior will just keep improving. If we could give more than 5 stars we would!

Drew is a great trainer. We used him a few years ago for our rescued Rottweiler Doberman mix and pure bred Rottweiler puppy. Thwy are the best behaved dogs we have ever had behavior wise. We just recently went back to Drew to help us with another Male Rottweiler we rescued as well.

Drew is an AMAZING trainer and I would recommend the K9 Expert to anyone who is looking to train their dog and/or dogs to behave and/or get along. My fiancé and I wanted to move in together but with his overly aggressive German shepherd, River, and my overly excited Cavachon, Bella, they were constantly triggering the worst behavior in each other! Upon meeting us for the first time, he had River sitting down without barking or lunging at Bella as she was quietly sitting next to them on the couch - in just 30 minutes! Their bootcamp program is the real deal and if you put in the work and follow the guidelines, you will be absolutely amazed with the results! Now River is in love with Bella! He’s not her type, but she tolerates him. 😂 5 star rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Drew did an awesome job training our sheepadoodle, Fonzie, and I would HIGHLY recommend The K9 Expert to anyone! Fonz was a wild man before his training and we noticed a big difference after just one lesson. He is now a very well behaved dog and we couldn’t be happier with the results of his training. In addition to being an outstanding dog trainer, Drew and Andrea were absolute professionals with every interaction I had with them. Excellent communication, good explanations of why we were doing things a certain way, and a thorough explanation of what we needed to work on between sessions. If you want a well trained dog, this is THE place to go!

Drew’s expertise was invaluable in training our Britany puppy Doug. Doug has his AKC Good Citizen certificate, is certified and insured as a Therapy Dog, and is permanently licensed by the state of Ohio as a Service Dog. We couldn’t have done it without Drew’s expert help. You won’t regret it!

Our dog was reactive when ppl come over and had turned on us of couple times. we knew it was out of fear and we wanted to help him so we looked up people near us. Drew at K9 Expert was so comfortable around our family and dog and we were blown away by how well our dog did. Our dog, frodo, picked up quickly the commands with our trainer and how he integrated us into the sessions is awesome. Fantastic job and well worth it! Highly recommend!

Drew IS a K 9 expert well worth his fee..You won’t be sorry that you chose him to train or retrain your pup! . His techniques are state of the art, compassionate, and easy for a dog owner to learn. You, your dog, and Drew will make a good team.My formerly troublesome, rehomed Adopt-a-pet is living proof that Drew and Andrea, dedicated K9 experts, can make obedience happen. No more anxiety, defensive growls, or lack of socialization for Hercules! Plus I look forward to group training and a boarding discount for the rest of his life! But don’t take only my word for it. Check his website and videos out. They say it all!

Can’t say enough about Drew and the K9 Expert. We were able to real in my highly anxious, unpredictable Shepherd. She’s so much better with guests. You get out what you put in. He provided me with the tools to be used at training and home.
