A word from Jeremy Talamantes:
Dog Training Los Angeles, Ventura, Orange County

Hello friends, thank you for visiting my personal page and reading my bio. I have spent many years training dogs and always try to learn more so that I can be the best! I have sought out some of the best trainers to meet, train with, and learn from. One of the things I love the most about training is that it is subjective, therefore, leaving room for creativity and advancement. I truly feel that dog training is an art form, and our canvas is very unique because it is alive. I am very proud of my bio and all of the things I have accomplished. I am very excited for 2011! I am positive there will be very exciting things happening for me and the company. I believe strongly that networking is an integral key to success, both personally and professionally. Therefore, please feel free to contact me and ask any questions you might have.

Thank you,

Jeremy Talamantes
A word from Stephanie O'Brien:
Dog Training Los Angeles, Ventura, Orange County

'Training your dog is not an option, it's a responsibility.' Training will strengthen the relationship between you and your dog and more importantly, can save his life. One of the most common problems I run into as a professional trainer is helping the client understand their relationship with their dog. This is because most people confuse love with respect. Yes, your dog may love you alot, but that does not mean he respects you. If you can get your dog to respect you, he will love you 100 times more. A good leader is respected AND loved. Respect is never earned by being unfair or brutal... it is also never earned by catering to bad behavior or feeling badly about enforcing the rules. Being a good leader is about being fair and consistant while setting a good example. If you understand this, your beloved companion will be faithful and loyal till the end.

Thank you,

Stephanie O'Brien
Qualified Dog Trainers-
K-9 Behavior Services boasts some of the most qualified dog trainers, not only in America, but also in other countries, such as Germany. As the company continues to grow world wide, many highly qualified dog trainers are wanting to to be a part of one of the largest and most successful dog training companies in the world! Sitting on 1,545 acres in the Los Angeles and Ventura area, K-9 Behavior Services trains pet dogs, Protection Dogs, Service Dogs for the disabled, and specializes in training dogs with aggression. K-9 Behavior Services also works with local and government agencies, including the California Department of Corrections. To be a part of K-9 Behavior Services, is to be a part of the best of the best!

Certified Dog Trainers-
At K-9 Behavior Services, we are often asked if our trainers are certified. Although some of our trainers are certified, the problem with most organizations that give certifications for pet dog training, such as CCPDT (Certification Council for Pet Dog Trainers), APDT (Association of Pet Dog Trainers), KPCT (Karen Pryor Clicker Training), and ABC (Animal Behavioral College), is that most of their credentials combined with real life training experience, does not come close to matching ours. As a matter of fact, the ABC (Animal Behavioral College) has asked Owner, Jeremy Talamantes, to assist/ mentor/ train, their students local to Los Angeles, which he has declined every time because he does not believe their methods are effective, especially when dealing with serious cases.

Unqualified Dog Trainers-
Southern California is saturated with wannabe unqualified trainers, ones that are either way to hard on dogs and destroy their character, or ones that are way too soft on dogs and can never achieve results that a responsible dog owner will naturally seek. Too often we are called by dog owners that have spent way too much money with trainers that make excuses and can't take their dog to a level of training that is needed for them to happily co-exist with their canine friend. It is important to have the experience, knowledge, and skill to be able to train any dog, any breed, any age, any size, any temperament.
A trainer should be calm and steady, always predictable and fair. One of the primary goals of a good trainer should always be to build the dog's character. A positive trainer will never get emotional and project his personal feelings onto the dog. A trainer should always make decisions based primarily on what is best for the dog to understand what is being asked from him so that he can be allowed the opportunity to learn. Please view the links below and read the bios of our world renowned dog trainers. Feel free to call us so that we can discuss your current situation and put together a program that will get you to where you need to be with your dog.
A word from Felix Sunga:
Dog Training Sacramento, San Francisco, and The Bay Area

I am very excited to be teamed up with some of the best dog trainers in the world. It is one thing to be a great dog trainer, it is another thing to understand the dog training business. A good dog trainer must not only know how to train dogs, but also how to put that training expertise into the mind and body of the dog owner. We must not only posses the skill of working with the dog, we must also be able to work with the client. Often times, the owner is confusing or stressing out their dog, resulting in confusion and conflict. I know that K-9 Behavior Services not only works hard at perfecting their dog training skills, but also at making sure their clients have all the tools they need to be successful. I look forward to meeting you and to working with you and your canine friend.

Thank you,

Felix Sunga
A word from Tami McLeod:

Dog Training is my passion and my livelihood. Not many people can say they really do what they love and truly enjoy it. I am very fortunate to have been able to train and compete at the highest levels for many years. Now, with the help of K-9 Behavior Services, I am ready to bring my experience and knowledge to a wider range of clients. I am excited to start this new relationship with one of the most successful and accomplished companies and group of trainers to date. This is a company that not only has trainers that are very successful competitively, but also have trainers that are known for their incredible abilities to help pet dog owners achieve results with their own dogs that they thought were never possible. Please feel free to call and ask any questions you might have, and I do look forward to meeting and training with you.

Thank you,

A word from Josh Lininger:
Dog Training Indiana

The feeling of communicating with my dogs through training techinques is one of the most satisfying experiences in my life. Dogs need structure and boundaries, and I have trained very hard with an honest heart and sincere goal of giving my dogs what they need to coexist with me on a level that I can feel confident I have given them what they need in life. Too many people choose to have dogs without educating them because they feel it is too expensive or too time consuming. I am very happy to be a part of K-9 Behavior Services and be able to help people learn that dog training is actually not that difficult and easy to achieve with the right instruction and guidance. Thank you for reading my bio and I look forward to meeting and training with you.

Thank you,

A word from Isabell Schafer:
Dog Training And German Shepherd Dog Importing, Germany

Thank you so much for reading my bio! I have been training dogs in Schutzhund since I was a young child in Germany. It is with great pleasure that I can now share by passion with people in America. I have spent many years developing the art of balancing my training with my German Shepherds and Malinois so that I can achieve the art of a dog that is obedient and excited to work at the same time. I find that too many trainers are either too hard or too soft on their dogs, resulting in a poor performance. Thanks to K-9 Behavior Services, this is my great opportunity to share with the world my precision and expertise in training. Thank you again and I look forward to working with you.


Thank you,

A word from Steve Hong:
Dog Training Long Island, Manhattan, New York City NYC

As a professional and experienced dog trainer on the east coast, I spend my days engaged in my passion, dog training. Being a part of the K-9 Behavior Services team, I am now able to take my skills to a wider range of people. Although each individual will choose different dog trainers for different reasons, I feel that the one common goal is, results. I fit well with the concepts that K-9 Behavior Services preaches, because I too have the ability to get reliable results with dogs through balanced training. Too many dog trainers today do not understand the concept of balanced dog training. I am greatly looking forward to meeting new clients and having the opportunity to teach people how to build their dogs character through balanced dog training techniques that I have learned through many, many years of dog training experience.


Thank you,

Steve Hong
