Welcome to Empowered K9 Training! Located in Phoenix/Gilbert Arizona, I am a dog trainer who specializes in board and train, aggressive/reactive dogs, behavior modification, obedience training, puppy training, off-leash training, stronger relationships, and amazing results! From my unique insight to the owner/dog relationship to my dog training services, I offer the most complete, life changing and reliable style of training that you and your dog will ever need!
My Rottweilers Moka and Dutch
Living with a difficult or an uncontrollable dog can often lead to feelings of frustration, embarrassment, anger, stress, hopelessness and missing out. However! With the right training, game plan and support, you no longer have to live that way. I know this firsthand because I was once THAT dog owner with THAT dog...true story! Since those crazy days (I'm so happy I'll never have to live like that ever again!) I've put together a highly effective, unique, and simple dog training approach that utilizes a mixture of basic and advanced obedience training to go along with a specific lifestyle dynamic that has consistently delivered results that exceed my clients' expectations. The results I create for my clients go beyond just helping them with their dog's behavioral issues, I also teach them how to create a happy, harmonious and balanced relationship with their dog that most didn't realize was possible! So if you're truly ready (you're going to have to make some dog ownership changes) to get your dog started on the right path to becoming the dog you've always wanted versus the dog you've had to deal with, I'm ready to help!
My dog training programs have been specifically developed to ensure a better bond both inside and outside of your home with your dog, and at the same time eliminating frustrating dog behaviors that have forced your hand to find help. I offer an extremely popular and highly successful custom board and train program as well as my one of a kind AMAZING puppy class. These programs address dog aggression, fearful dog behaviors, separation anxiety, walking issues, behavior modification as well as provide off-leash training, and dog obedience training for adult dogs and puppies. As a proven dog training expert, I excel in diagnosing and resolving dog reactivity, leash aggression, leash reactivity, pulling on leash, jumping on people, counter surfing, stealing food, chewing and destruction, barking problems, running away, not listening, not releasing things, pushy behavior, door dodging, prey drive issues, high energy, and rebellious puppy behaviors. Aside from addressing specific behavioral issues, I'm also a remote ecollar, off-leash specialist. If you would like to have a dog that comes to you every time when called, will do a down/stay anywhere, walks next to you, has an off switch, will go lay down when guests arrive, you can take places with you, and can be reliable off-leash, then I'm the dog trainer you've been looking for!
I've created a proven method and style of dog training that brings life changing results to committed clients who continue to put in the work and recognize real change is possible when balanced dog training is consistently applied. My balanced and logical dog training approach begins by creating a new set of rules, structure, boundaries and communication along with a solid foundation to help your dog achieve a more calm, relaxed and obedient state of mind. My mission is to produce amazingly balanced, well behaved dogs and fun dogs, and I'm committed to making sure that owners are highly successful and happy as well! By applying my method of balanced dog training, I can train your dog (puppy, adult or senior) to behave reliably around you and your family and restore peace of mind back into your life! Please view some of my client testimonials to learn more about how my clients' lives have changed with their dogs and how their experience was with EK9T...your story and dog's transformation could be next!

Here are some pictures of clients with their dogs after they completed a board and train program!
Ada the Newfoundland wasn't too much fun to walk and couldn't be taken out places because she wouldn't listen much and her obedience was lacking.
Octavious the Black Mouth Cur did a 3 week board and train to address dog aggression issues and to improve his obedience training
Gunner the Mastiff, Ateri the Australian Shepherd and Zada the Blue Heeler all did a three week board and train so they could enjoy moments like this!
Not only was Trigger dog aggressive but there was no way she could be trusted off leash. Here she is after her 3 week board and train!

Zeus the once super fearful and scared of the world Goldendoodle is definitely enjoying his new life! This boy completed a 3 week board and train.
Bumpy the Bull Terrier lives on a farm in Texas. His owners wanted the ability to have him come when called every time and also to understand boundaries.
Libby the Pitbull did a 3 week board and train for dog aggression and off leash training, Libby's owner is very active and she wanted to do more with her.
Lexi the Boxer went to a couple other dog trainers and was still fear aggressive towards humans. Her owner never thought they'd do this!

Nikita the German Shepherd came in for dog and human aggression issues. For years she hardly left the house due to behavior issues, and now she's living the life!
Finn did a 3 week board and train to address multiple behavioral issues. His owners really wanted a dog they could enjoy versus one they had to deal with.

Summit the Weimaraner did a two week off-leash board and train. His owner is super active and wanted him to enjoy being off leash on their adventures.
This is Luna the Belgian Malinois a year after her board and train. There's nothing better than getting updates on the dogs that went through my program!

Off-leash heel with the Rottweiler brothers Dutch and Jedi! These two boys are only 6 months old and they're already rocking some serious skills. The earlier you start training the better!
Viv, the 5 month old mini Schnauzer! This super cute and energetic girl came in for a three week ecollar board and train for basic and advance obedience training.
|
Thanks to ecollar training, Star, a 2 year old GSD can finally be trusted off leash for the very first time ever! She was also dog aggressive and leash reactive prior to her board and train.
My personal dog Moka loves to work so we're always doing some form of dog training. Hard work paying off and because of that work we have a great relationship!
|
6 month old Goldendoodle Baxster going through some of his ecollar board and train basic obedience training! Not too many youngsters rocking this kind of obedience at this age!
Luna, a 6 month old Belgian Malinois went through my board & train program. Here she is working on her impulse control, this is some impressive obedience for such a young dog!

The Empowered K9 Training Experience!
"We sent our lovable Goldendoodle Pepper for the two week board and train with Dave. I can't say enough positive things about the experience. Dave's communication is above and beyond excellent, kept us in the loop via text and phone, and the postings of her progress on FB were great!" ~ Troy Buchanan, Tempe
"Our Springer Spaniel, Jessi went for a 2-week Board and Train and our household has been so calm and peaceful since she returned. Prior to Dave’s help, our house was far from peaceful, it was full of chaos and craziness. I seriously can’t thank you enough. If we ever get a new dog in the future, he/she’s going straight to EK9!" ~ Erin Kelley-Bezozo, Gilbert
"You have changed our lives in such a positive way and we cannot express our gratitude enough for everything you have done for us! Diesel and Daisy are doing fantastic and our friends and family can't believe their eyes at the amazing transformation!!!" ~ Brittany and Brian, Chandler
"After going through FOUR different trainers from Petsmart to a Buddhist trainer (don't ask) and who knows how much money, I finally found Dave. Max, my Akita, was male dog aggressive. I did the first two programs with Dave and the results were near instant. I would recommend Empowered K9 to anyone who wants the best for their dog." ~ Phil, Mesa
