From first foundations to off-leash reliability, obedience training gives your dog clear communication and gives you a dog you can trust at home and in public.
Good obedience is not about tricks. It is about a shared language between you and your dog, so everyday moments like the front door, the kitchen counter, or a busy sidewalk stop being a struggle.
We start where your dog is today, build reliable responses in calm settings, and then practice around the real distractions your dog actually meets.
A good fit for: Puppies building a first foundation, adult dogs with gaps in their manners, and dogs ready for advanced work.
Sit, down, stay, place, and heel built to be dependable, not occasional.
A come-when-called response practiced with increasing distance and distraction.
Waiting at doors, leaving food alone, and settling instead of reacting.
Calmer greetings, better behavior with guests, and routines that stick.
We learn your dog’s current skills, temperament, and your daily routine.
Commands are taught clearly and consistently in lower-distraction settings.
We practice in parks, storefronts, and busier spaces to make skills reliable.
You learn the same handling so results continue long after sessions end.
“thomas provides an amazing service also with great communication! you and your dog will learn a lot from him. my dog is a dogo argentino / pit bull male dog and thomas is very knowledgable with all breeds, small or large. every lesson was valuable and made a huge difference, i wouldn't look further for any other trainer.”
“Working with All American K9 was the better than I could have imagined! Thomas was incredible and helped me understand not only how my dog thinks, but how I should think about my dog. I knew I had a good dog, I just didn’t know how to bring out the best in him. Thomas helped me GAIN UNDERSTANDING, EXERCISE CONTROL, and IDENTIFY BEHAVIORAL CUES. Those things allowed me to change the dynamic of my relationship with my dog and ultimately CHANGE HIS BEHAVIORS. I’m proud to say that Bruce, the friendly Pit Bull now walks next to me, instead of pulling me like a wagon. He no longer tries to bum rush the passing squirrels, and a learning to completely ignore other dogs unless given his release command. All thanks to Thomas and All American K9! Worth every penny! Call them today!”
“Thomas brings calm energy right when he assessed and met both our dogs. All the dogs he brought to train with our dogs also demonstrated that energy. He worked with both our dogs (Harrison and Goldie) to help us manage their behavior and bring down Goldie’s energy level. The last two visits, Goldie went to Lowe’s and Home Depot for socialization. Thank you! The dogs will definitely have to go to his dog boarding service next time😁”
“We had the pleasure of working with Thomas to help train our two mini Goldendoodles, and all we can say is that these past few weeks have truly been life-changing for the better. Our dogs are now not only well-behaved and a pleasure to take on walks, but they are also living their best lives, and we feel so much more in sync with them. One of the best parts of the experience was that Thomas didn’t just “do the work” for us; he taught us how to provide our dogs with structure, consistency, and leadership in a way that truly works. We are so thankful for the guidance, support, and results we received. We highly recommend Thomas and his team at All American K9. You will be so glad you made the call!”
“Thomas and his team were exceptional trainers. We have a high strung Doberman who was very hard to manage. They were able to totally correct his behavior so now he listens and is a total pleasure to be around. They incorporated electronic stim collar and introduced it in a very positive way. Our dog is now very obedient. I would highly recommend Al American k9!!”
“Thomas did an amazing job training my two Dobermans. He was professional, patient, and clearly very knowledgeable. We saw a huge improvement in their behavior, and they are much more obedient and well-mannered now. I highly recommend Thomas to anyone looking for a reliable and effective dog trainer.”
“All American K9 did an amazing job with our dog Samoa. He has been a completely different (well behaved) dog since we got him back after two weeks. We are learning how to properly continue the heal command and leash training but he is no longer aggressive and follows commands. We would highly recommend them.”
“I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible support I've received from Thomas and Katie at All American K9. My German Shepherd, who has been reactive towards other dogs, has made remarkable progress under their guidance. Despite working with five trainers previously, it was Thomas’ expertise that truly made a difference. Not only did they train my dog effectively, but they also equipped me with the necessary tools to handle her behavior. Their flexibility and dedication have exceeded my expectations, and I am immensely thankful for their assistance. I highly recommend All American K9 to anyone in need of exceptional dog training.”
““I highly recommend All American K9 (Thomas)for anyone looking for a knowledgeable and patient dog trainer.” My Chloe is an almost 2yo bully who within just a few sessions, she became very social, not to mention she absolutely loves him. He used positive reinforcement techniques and explained everything clearly so I could continue training at home. Encouraging, and always available to answer questions. Highly recommend..”
Excerpts from Google reviews published on All American K9’s website.
Basic obedience builds core commands and manners. Advanced work adds duration, distance, and distraction so your dog responds reliably in busier settings and, where appropriate, off leash.
Dogs of many ages can start. We’ll discuss your dog’s age and history during the consultation and recommend an appropriate starting point.
Yes. Owner guidance is part of every program, because the behaviors only last when everyone at home handles them the same way.
Teach your dog to move with you, respond to direction, and stay engaged around distractions, so the daily walk becomes the best part of the day instead of a battle.
