Our approach

At SPK-9, we believe every dog — and every owner — deserves training that fits their real life. Led by experienced trainer Daniel, we specialize in balanced, results-driven programs that address behavior issues, build trust, and strengthen the bond between you and your dog.

We’re here to help you connect with the right training plan, personalized to your dog’s unique needs and your goals — so you can enjoy life together, stress-free.

Feedback from Clients

  • “Before SPK9, we couldn’t even take our dog outside without him lunging at people. Daniel changed everything — we now have peace at home and on walks!”

    - Megan K. , Denver CO

  • “I thought I had to rehome my dog because of his aggression, but Daniel completely turned things around. I now understand my dog better, and walks aren’t a nightmare anymore. Life-changing!”

    - Jake & Maria, Boulder CO

  • “Our puppy was wild — biting, jumping, chewing everything. After just a few sessions with SPK9, he listens, stays calm in the house, and is great around guests. Worth every penny!”

    - Marissa P. , Lakewood CO

  • “ Daniel is a very professional and talented trainer. He taught us a lot. We are very happy with the progress we made with Zoe! I would recommend you guys anytime. Thanks.”

    James T. , West Palm Beach FL

  • “Wish there were 10 stars! Daniel was professional, knowledgable, polite. We learned how to train our huge mastiff puppy and help with getting along with her big sister dog! Invaluable to me, Daniel was available to answer questions during the week. Thank you so much for my well mannered puppy!”

    Abbe S. ,West Palm Beach FL

  • “There are no words to describe how happy we are with the progress Daniel has made with our dog, Springsteen! We have all learned a lot on this journey, and it has been fascinating to watch Daniel build a trusting relationship with a dog who didn't want one! Can't recommend this program highly enough!!!”
