Founder of SPK-9 | Lead Trainer

Hi! My name is Daniel.

My love for canines began in childhood and became a true calling after my first dog, Sinta, helped me cope from PTSD after my service in the military. With over a decade of hands-on experience and thousands of dogs trained, I now specialize in transforming behavior challenges of all kinds.

At SPK-9, every dog is treated like family. My training focuses on trust, clear structure, and proven, humane techniques to help you and your dog succeed.

My commitment to learning and my deep understanding of canine psychology have made me a trusted partner for dog owners who want lasting results.

My mission is simple: to help you reach your training goals and guide you to success, bringing out the very best in your furry friend through trust, respect, and balanced training.

My Approach

At SPK-9, my goal is for every owner and dog to finish with a stronger bond, clearer communication, and more confidence than when we started. As a lifelong dog owner myself, I know how important trust and understanding are — that’s why my balanced methods focus on building connection, setting clear structure, and using practical, proven techniques that help you truly understand your dog’s needs and body language, so you can enjoy life together as a team.

My programs open new possibilities for you and your dog. I want dogs to be happy, motivated learners who trust their owners and feel safe in any environment. This approach builds a strong bond while giving you the tools to handle real-life challenges — all tailored to your dog’s unique personality, needs and what you want to achieve together.

There’s a reason SPK-9 has earned the trust of so many loyal clients: I stand behind every program and back it up with lifetime support, so you never feel alone on your journey.

While a trainer can create big changes, lasting results come from your daily commitment. Whether you’re working on manners, advanced skills, or tough behavior challenges, SPK-9 is here to guide you every step of the way.
