Professional Dog Training, Built for Real Life

David has been an incredible trainer and partner in helping us understand and support our dog, Chino. Chino is a shepherd mix with a very strong shepherd personality. He is incredibly loyal, highly intelligent, and naturally protective of our home and family. At the same time, he is socially anxious and thrives on structure and clear leadership. He has always had good manners, but we knew early on that we needed a trainer who could see Chino in his natural environment and help shape his behavior in real-life situations — not someone who would simply take him into a training facility and hand him back to us later. David has taught us dog psychology. He helped us learn how to read Chino’s body language, understand his triggers, and confidently correct unacceptable behaviors in a way that builds trust rather than fear. Most importantly, David taught us how to advocate for Chino so he feels safe and trusts our leadership. The progress we’ve seen in Chino over the past year has been truly amazing. He is more confident, more regulated, and better able to navigate situations that used to overwhelm him. Training with David feels collaborative, supportive, and tailored to Chino’s personality and needs. David has been working with Chino for almost a year now, and we continue to work with him because we believe exposure, consistency, and ongoing learning are key as Chino grows into adulthood. We are incredibly grateful for David’s patience, knowledge, and dedication

David was really helpful with our 6 year old golden doodle. He gave us great strategies that produced a timely outcomes and coached us for long term improvement. We highly recommend him!

David knows what he is doing. He has gone above and beyond with our 5 month old Indy. Raising two boys along with a new puppy was chaos every day! He has come in to save the day! We are forever grateful for him and his expertise. He has taught us along with our sweet energetic puppy ! I couldn’t reccomend him more !

David is a dog whisperer. He has such a calm presence and the dogs respond to that. I have three dogs. A dachshund, a jack russell mix and a golden retriever. My golden retriever is six months old and came from a rescue situation. He has anxiety and David is helping educate me on how to train him. He is very patient with Denver and always encouraging with me. I am seeing progress each day and if I run into a snag, David provides guidance and support. My two little dogs are barkers and I’ve never required them to have manners. David has taught me how to work with them and honestly it’s been so much easier than I expected. He’s shown me that I can have people enter my home without the little dogs going crazy! I would recommend David to anyone wanting to train their dog. I have used other trainers in the past and David is superior to anyone I’ve used. He is patient, kind and well educated in all things dog related. He is a natural with dogs!

David s a natural with dogs, and humans! I learned a lot and my dogs responded well to him s strategies! Highly recommend!

Pragmatik Canines David is amazing!! He is educating our 5 month old Golden Retriever & 7 month old mini labradoodle he is teaching the girls proper etiquette: how to sit, stay walk properly on a leash. How to react or actually not react to outside influences. They are learning how and when to cross boundaries. David (owner) is extremely knowledgeable and very trustworthy. He communicates well and is even training the humans. I cannot say enough wonderful things about David and Pragmatik Canines. I highly recommend.
