Coming soon.... I'm excited to get back in touch with the families who really helped me build Direct K9, starting with just 2 dogs I managed to train around 3k dogs in just 4yrs! I know it's not 2015 anymore and I know I have A LOT of doubters who think I won't be able to rebuild a house using a new foundation! But what those doubters don't realize is I built Direct K9 to be a family! Not just clients! Back in 2015 I didn't have that yet! So again don't be surprised if you get a message from me especially my old group class people, who became really good friends of mine! You only have one life, so if you know in your heart what your worth then go out and get it!

Hi, I know I've been away and it's because I've been working on a complete new rebrand which I'm very close to finishing! Once complete I'll let everyone know and then Direct Canine will be no longer around... But the rebrand will be like Direct Canine on steroids! Meaning it will be 10x better in every way! I've been working on a different approach of not only making sure dogs can achieve their maximum potential but I've also been really focusing on dog owners as a whole! Since COVID 19 most Dog owners have changed the way they have been working with their dogs and I'm not saying it's the fault of the owners or anything like that.... But over the last 2-3yrs I've noticed a lot more dogs seem to not have great discipline when it comes to listening to their owners? I'm not sure if it's because training is less of a priority? Or that dog trainers standards for a well trained dog have gone down? I'm really not sure!? But I do know it's getting worse! I'm seeing more and more dogs on E-fence collars only to still run away or be chilling in the middle of a road waiting to be hit! That breaks my heart!, I've also noticed people using daycare "which is a great thing to use 100%" as long as you're not using it to cover up behavior issues by running your dog into the ground... And again I'm not calling anyone out by any means! I know in life things change for everyone and everything! And I just want to find a way to help improve the lives of not only the dogs but also the dog owners as well!

Sorry last thing for today lol but I've noticed that dog trainers and groomers have started popping up on every street corner! What makes it worse is if they have money all they need to do is dress up their business in diamonds and most people will just assume they're the best! And truthfully I can't sit here and tell you if they're or not! PLEASE just stop for a quick moment and think about what I just said! So if I as true professional dog trainer! And yes I can call myself that because not only did I get certified by one of only a few top training schools in the country, afterwards I moved 4hrs from home to do a one yr apprenticeship with one of the most successful privately owned dog training companies on the East Coast! Then after I stayed for another 7yrs as a full time trainer where I got my 10,000hrs of mastering my craft and also I trained 1000s and 1000s of different dogs in all different situations! And that was just the first half of my career lol I spent another 10yrs working side by side with other master trainers to keep learning as well as help run multiple successful training businesses that are still flourishing today! But anyway I'm not sitting here telling you this to make myself look good! My point is if someone like myself can't tell you if that million dollar training business is legit or not!? How can the average dog owner know? And this is becoming a real issue! Because the cost is very expensive and it's not like most people can just drop thousands on training and say well that didn't work!? Oh well I will just go and drop thousands of more on a different trainer and just cross my fingers that this time it works! The reason I bring this up is because this problem has been around for yrs! Starting with Cizer Milan and his show and with how quickly people just became almost hypnotize with what he does! And again I'm not saying these trainers are hacks and these trainers are the best! All I'm saying is really take a step back and research before you make a very expensive decision!

So I've really been putting in a lot of time trying to think outside the box about in a perfect world what are some things that new or experienced dog owners would wish for to make life easier or better with owning a dog? Please feel free to comment with your Ideas if you want!? But if you think you came up with something that stands out Private message me please! Basically I'm trying to find new ways to really improve the relationship between the dog and its owner! I know situations very and blah blah blah.... But when I was helping with HOPE for 7 months there were some things I would come across with people and their dogs that I wish I never knew about! Also dogs being sent too shelters or rescues or worse is at an all time high! So if somehow I'm able to really help make a dog's owner life a lot smoother and easier than I need to hear about it!

Hello! so the first thing I want to add to Direct Canine is rewarding anyone who goes out of their way to help me! So anyone that refers someone to me and they turn into a board and train I will give a $100 too if the referral leads to an in home I will give $50! And this goes by dog so if it's a 2 dog training you will receive double and so on! All you need to do is if you refer someone to me just pm me and let me know the info! But one of the main reasons I want to do this is because I believe we live in a time where people need to start helping each other however they are able to! Any questions just pm me! But yes this is for real and honestly nothing would make me happier to be able to help anyone that takes the time to help me!

Hello, I want to let people know I'm currently working on rebranding direct K9! This rebrand is going to be amazing and offer things that nobody else in the area offers! Also officially as of today I'm back full time offering private in home lessons and yes even the insanely popular board and train program! I will be keeping the cost of the programs the same as they were 6 years ago! That will change once I'm done with the rebrand, I wanted to put that out there in case some people want to take advantage of the lower cost!? Also I know sometimes people may think that because the cost of the programs is cheaper than 90% of the other trainers out there it's because it must be poor quality training results but that's not the case at all!!! I just don't want to mess with pricing right now until I'm done with the rebrand is all! So you will still be getting the highest quality training results regardless of the cheaper price! If you want to take advantage of this and want more information just private message me or text or even call me at 518-307-1478! So anyway big things are coming and it's going to be awesome!!

I'm still looking for anyone that currently has an older Ecollar that doesn't use it or doesn't need it anymore, who would like to sell it at a discount or donate it but "Again I'm not expecting people to donate something they paid for" there are just a few dogs I'm basically training at a 90% discount or with some cases for free.... That's why I want to start using Direct K9 as a platform to help my HOPE dog program succeed at a higher and faster adoption rate! But please I'm not saying anyone has to help, trust me I know things are hard for everyone right now! I just wanted to put this out there just in case! Anyway thank you and hopefully by late spring the lifetime class will be running at full speed again! I badly want to see the people and dogs that I've trained! I really miss our meet up's!

Maggie is a rescue dog from HOPE who I have a special relationship with! Maggie has bounced around a lot because of a lack of finding the right fit! She does have some behavioral issues but nothing crazy!! I've decided to put her through a Direct K9 off leash program and within two sessions! I have her doing a off leash sit stay around a lot of distractions downtown Saratoga!

Hello, everyone! I know, I know it's been a min or 3 since the last time I came out of hibernation! most of you know why that was... Anyway some things have changed since you've last heard from me! But 1st I want to say I'm back training dogs on and off leash at a very high level! I'm back doing In Homes and Board and trains! 2nd I'm also now the director of the dog department for HOPE Animal rescue! This allows me to help Dogs in bad situations and give them a chance at life they probably never thought was possible! And because I have the best clients that a business could ever have! I want to reach out and ask if any of my Direct K9 family might be interested in helping me give these Dogs and puppies a 2nd chance at life! By either donating or selling at a cheap rate old remote collars that still work but you may not use them anymore? Believe it or not that is a massive help so I have the equipment to work with dogs that desperately behavioral training! Another huge thing is anyone who has considered fostering dogs I would definitely be interested in speaking with you! I'm not asking for $ donations because I'm going to already donate 10% of my training fees to HOPE! But the training collars and fosters alone is something that can be a game changer for what I'm building with HOPE! But anyway this post is already a new personal record long and my ADD is starting to kick in! So if you would like to help or you have any questions just about training please reach out!! Thank you so much for everything!
