We adopted Leo from the Humane Society in late November. We immediately fell in love with him, and he showed us how much he loves people and other dogs. We became worried his very excited demeanor would be misinterpreted as aggression by others and searched for formal training. There was a complicating factor: my wife and I are both medical residents with crazy schedules. Dillon was incredibly flexible with our schedules and met us at our home for most sessions. From the moment he stepped into our home at 7 pm on a Tuesday, he was nothing short of excellent. He is professional and remarkably knowledgeable, able to convey complex concepts of dog behavior, training, and philosophy in a digestible manner. The change in our dog was noticeable immediately. He stopped pulling on the leash, learned to check in early/often, and developed amazing recall over the next couple of sessions. Leo's confidence soared and helped us bond very quickly. He stopped being mouthy and became housebroken. We cannot recommend Dillion enough. He helped us turn a pet we adopted into a companion that is able to come with us anywhere dogs are welcomed without any worry about his intentions being misunderstood.

My husband and I were at our wits end with our Australian Shepherd puppy when we called Dillon for help. We set up a meet and greet and were instantly impressed with his training background and the feedback we saw from his other clients. Within the first couple of weeks of training, we were able to see a huge change! We can go on walks now and actually enjoy ourselves! We can go to the dog park and not worry about him running off and not listening to us when he finds other dogs to play with. We can even go on off leash walks with him and 100% trust him- something I never even fathomed would be possible anytime soon. We finally have the relationship with him we’ve always wanted and we constantly say how much it was some of the best dollars we’ve ever spent. I will forever recommend!

Obstinate K9 aims to make an independent and confident dog, not one that is reliant on you to distract or restrain unwanted behaviors. Dillon will come to your environments and gives you tools and inputs while YOU train your dog. He is an effective trainer who runs this business on his own, there is no middle man, no answering machine. He responds quick, great at scheduling, punctual, and most important a man of his claims. Obstinate K9 is the way to go.

I loved the progress Dillon made with my dog moose. It’s actually life changing how different he is now. Moose had fear-based reactivity from poor socialization and with the E-Collar training we went through, moose developed so much more confidence and stability. I would’ve never thought we could walk through a park without him going crazy or go to a dog park, but we can do both of those things now! The only thing I wish was slightly different was pricing based on time spent on training, moose learned very quickly and I found often we weren’t using up the full time of trainings as it wasn’t needed, and I still have one training session for a “rainy day” that he really doesn’t need. I wish pricing could’ve maybe be based per session rather than as a whole. But overall life changing, wouldn’t change a thing! Would 100% recommend.

Easily the best dog training you can get, and its worth every penny! Dillon was great! We have 2 japanese akitas and the younger one had some bad habits. With Dillons help we stopped barking and socialized safely. He not only helped us train better habits but also helped us understand our fur babies better and taught us how to train beyond the sessions. Everything was customized to our dogs and us.

Dillion helped my Belgian Malinois thrive and gain confidence, freedom, and security. I rescued her 2 months ago and have seen MASSIVE improvement. Dillion is VERY knowledgable on dog cognition and helps give the dog freedom. It's very helpful that he educates on proper ecollar use - which is used as a communication tool and not a punishment. I am so grateful for his training and would highly recommend him to anyone!
