How Did Garret Become a Dog Trainer?

I've been working with dogs for 20+ years and grew up around them. My father was a police K9 handler since 1981, and long story short -- I got completely hooked and followed in his footsteps.

I now take everything I know and not only help you train puppies, but also older dogs, younger dogs, and everything in between.

I am here to empower you to be the BEST owner-trainer you can be... with no-nonsense knowledge and skills.

Because here's the truth: YOU need to be trained.

Your dog will follow what you tell them - but YOU, come first.

My favorite compliment to this day, and I get it all the time, is "This is not even the same dog that we brought to you. This is a better version of what we brought to you".

Hooray for Garret, who aspires to the highest standards of excellence, for dogs and owners, and so graciously shares his knowledge with all of us. Heartfelt thanks to you and your dad! 🎉 🥳 🎉

This man knows what he's doing! He has the drive and the skills. He is outstanding. Experience is a big key to this. I loved that he said he didn't want to water down the training. Excellent!!

[andreac]

Thank you for sharing your experience. Your methods and approach to training are like great parenting: based on love, expectations, and respect.

The GOAT! I'll be getting a diyk9 membership very shortly, the more i watch Garret the more i want to join the community.

This man is amazing hands down! All the experience and knowledge he has on dogs is amazing. I’ve literally have watched all his YouTube videos and I’m a huge fan. His videos have helped me through the puppy stage with my pup. I have a yorkie, not a big dog at all, but thanks to this man I have been able to train her (somewhat). I wish my pup and I could meet him in person for some real serious training. This man is a legend!!

[nanaflyy]

If I ever get a dog.. I’m sending him to this man to teach em how to sit. Idc how much money it is😂

[CanadianBagel]

That’s sick! I’ve always wanted to be a K9 handler since I was very very young and you’re fuelling my interest

This Garret Guy Is Awesome .... Keep On Keeping On

25 years ago when I had dogs, I never even thought of specially training for the animals. But now that I’m older, I’ve grown to respect and admire you guys for what you do training dogs properly. God bless you guys.

That's why I took my Working line GSD to a K9 officer thats been doing thats been a handler for over 40 years. BEST decision ever for him and me hes still pyscho at 7 yrs old but that's what I got into but I wanted that. He comes to work with me everyday and plays with other dogs all day literally amazing with my son and ppl he knows. His trainer still helps me with protection work til this day we've been doing it yearly for 6 years. I want you to meet him someday would love try protection work with you guys. We love your videos and watch them daily

[Lakobas]

Don't know how I feel about the whole police dog thing in general but I have to hand it to you your a wizard with dogs glad you made the pivot to civilian dogs world needs you there most.

[ApartmentB]

My dogs are well behaved and pretty well trained. However, every video or so I learn something from you that strengthens their training.

[amirkestin]

I love strong dogs that can protect people .

I had 4 GSD working blood line.
This days I have a 6 year's old called Freedom. A mix of pit & cane corso

If there were a "love" button I would smash it. Unfortunately all I can do is like. 🤣My Maternal Grandmother who practically raised me was a Police Officer and she loved dogs. She was my idol growing up and my all-time favourite family member and dogs were family to us. I have always loved animals and had a special connection with them. Currently, I am studying to be an animal behaviorist, aiming to specialize in the training of service dogs to assist people with various challenges. I look up to you in so many ways. Keep up the great work!❤

[sophie.v.]

So awesome! Love your story! Helping dogs by helping their people is so valuable!

[harveywalker]

Your definitely one of the best doing it 👏 love the long form breed breakdowns aswell

[JM.]

You’re ducking awesome man!!! Love your stuff, keep it up!!

[Derek-tmho]

I been running dogs since I was 8. My dogs have gone to professional trainers just to be returned the next day saying we can't teach them anything more. Doberman are my crew but will work with any dogs. My truck is no slack while training and every situation is a chance to train them better. Love your style I agree with everything except not enough doberman content

[Grace-up]

You're rockin' it Garrett!!
