Hear from real clients who’ve seen incredible transformations with Blue Ribbon K9 Las Vegas Dog Training.

Dave has been an awesome trainer! His pricing was fair, and I loved that he came to our home for the sessions. We’ve already seen a huge difference in both our dog’s behavior and the way we approach training. His philosophy makes sense, the equipment he recommended has helped a ton, and he clearly has the experience to back it all up. Plus, he’s fun to work with and if you’re lucky, you might even hear him sing (he’s got an amazing voice!). Highly recommend!

We have a dominant giant schnauzer who ran off three trainers who said he needed to be put down. We found Dave and now there is hope for our Fergusson. I highly recommend him for your pet and family. Our giant refused to let anyone in the house without lunging at them. Dave has taught us how to take control of the situation and make Fergusson stay in “place” I can answer the doorbell without worry. Anyone with a large or dominant breed needs Dave for their pet just for basic good behavior. I can’t wait to see our Fergusson’s continued growth.

I hired Dave to help my young puppy learn fundamentals/basic manners and to prepare him for leash training. Although my puppy didn't have any major behaviorial issues, Dave helped me communicate so much better with my pup in a way that he would understand me and vice versa. I've had dogs before but never did a formal training until this new puppy of mine and, although most of us dog owners can teach our dogs to sit, stay, and fetch, having a trainer that not only knows how to teach a dog tricks and commands, but that truly understands dog behavior makes a huge difference and sets you up for success with a new dog. I called Dave back once my dog hit the "teenager" phase since they tend to become crazier at this age and we created a training plan that would work for me to help me address some of the concerns I have like leash pulling and excitedly jumping on people. Even at the initial evaluation, Dave already provided amazing tips I can start putting into play. I recommend every dog owner, even if your dog doesn't have behavioral issues, to take a training course with Dave. He takes his time with evaluations and training sessions and answers your questions honestly. He gives you a good idea of what to expect without making false promises. You must be serious about following Dave's training programs and guidance, as having a trainer drop in once a week isn't enough and the work he recommends must be done every day with your dog. His methods are no-frills and no-nonsense but also created with taking care of the dog and not overworking them. My dog was off to a great start under Dave's puppy training and I know will continue to be a great dog once we get through the teenager phase training. I trusted Dave enough to hire him back a second time and would recommend him to those serious about keeping their dogs safe and happy by willing to stick to the proper training. Thanks, Blue Ribbon!

David is very knowledgeable and works with your schedule. He is the guy to go to if you want to see results with your dog. My puppy was about 4 months when I started lessons with Dave, he went from having problems with the cat and hard leash pulling when walked to calm around the cat and lose leash walking.
