Welcome to
the site of K9-1 Specialized Dog Training LLC located in Peekskill, NY. Here you will find
professional service from a qualified dog trainer you can trust.
Here at K9-1,
we train dogs and people for many different reasons. We train difficult dogs to obey reliably off-leash, find solutions for
the most extreme behavioral problems, and train dogs for all types of law enforcement and advanced security needs. Rehabilitation
for over-aggressive and fearful dogs is considered our specialty. If your dog is a drop out from another training program
or too extreme for the recommended veterinary behaviorist you are in the right place.
Seeing is believing so we invite you to visit us any time to watch our furry students happily obeying to softly whispered
commands around heavy distractions. We are here to prove that with proper knowledge, respect, and patience… no dog is
untrainable.
The owner of the company, Mike D'Abruzzo, is a licensed veterinary technician, certified trainer,
behaviorist, and a skilled dog whisperer. He has been trained in many different styles and methods of training, behavior modification,
and welfare maintenance in order to create his own unique approach to humanely gain control and positively change the behavior
of even the most difficult dogs.
K9-1 serves
New York City, Westchester, Putnam,
Dutchess, Orange, Rockland, Northern New Jersey, and Fairfield (Connecticut) counties for private housecall lessons and group training
programs.
Away
from home "in-kennel" training service is available nationwide.
