  Absolutely the best trainers around. Hands down.
  
  My wife and I had tried several different trainers and board and train facilities in the past for our malinois without much success. The approach and method employed by ACC is without a doubt superior to anything we had tried before. They truly understand dogs and behavior in a way others do not. Perhaps more importantly, they understand your relationship as a handler to your dog in a way others seemingly can't.
  
  It is an incredibly professional operation. Always clear communication from Fabian, Gina, and the rest of the staff. Great boarding facilities. We always have complete peace of mind knowing our dog is being cared for by them.
  
  Do not waste time or resources trying any place else. ACC is the gold standard to which other trainers should aspire to.

  We took our 10 month old German Shepherd to ACC after only having him for 3 weeks.
  
  He had not been properly socialized so we experienced high reactivity to other dogs, growling at strangers and mild prey drive with our cat. We knew that we needed professional guidance for such a strong and intelligent breed.
  
  We dropped Duke off for a 3 week program which included on and off leash training. Staff was friendly and accommodating and Gina sent updates throughout the 3 weeks.
  
  After 3 weeks we had an off boarding lesson for some hands on training with Duke which lasted a couple hours. Admittedly our heads were swimming because it was a ton of information but we knew it was going to be a process that WE were going to have to master through patience and practice.
  
  It has now been 3 weeks since graduation and It has been a ton of hard work and required a ton of patience, follow up texts to Gina, refresher sessions with Fabian etc. However, they have stayed committed to us through this journey.
  
  It took us 3 weeks post training to really understand what Fabian meant when he said you need to “spend more time being his boss and less time trying to be his friend”.
  
  Duke does not pull at all on the leash anymore, does not chase our cat, and has no problem being around strangers on walks. We have almost completely eliminated his reactivity to other dogs through utilizing the training. We still get the occasional episode when a dog randomly comes out of a house and startles us but those are fewer and far between.
  
  People should understand that it is up to the dog owner to utilize the training consistently. The training works if We consistently work it.
  
  We appreciate Gina and Fabian and look forward to this continued journey.

  I have a large pure bread European Doberman Pinscher that comes from a working line. He is very high energy and needs alot of exercise. He is more my sons dog then mine, my son is 14 and we got our puppy 3 years ago after loosing our out of control doberman to cancer. My previous dobermam came to us later in his life and had no training. He was a wonderful dog and I enjoyed every moment with him, but this breed absolutely needs training and direction( or should i say ALL breeds need training!) so decided to get help with my new puppy at the time so he didnt try to dominate our home. I can't thank Gina and Fabian enough for teaching my son and I how to work him and play with him so he doesn't get mentally bored. They taught both my son and I how important this is for our pets. They have taught us how when we as owners follow there directions in handling our pets the relationship and trust cannot be broken from animal to owner. My son and his dog are the real deal of a boy and his dog being the very best of friends. The work they have done to help us is hands down worth it everyday. I still have moments where i have questions and they are ready and willing to help. Our puppy Riot is exactly that a big riot of a fun trusting lovable fur friend because of Applied Cacine concept.

  I had been searching for a dog to add to my farm when I came across a dog Gina was sponsoring to a new home. She had trained him as a puppy and knew the ins and outs of this particular dog. Taro needed a unique situation, and after discussing with Gina, I decided to bring him to the farm. Gina was honest and forthright through the whole process, but was confident that Taro would do well in the right environment and the proper follow up to the training she had already instilled in him.
  Fast-forward to now, and Taro is one of the best things ever to happen to me, and has been a wonderful addition to my farm. He is exactly as Gina described, and his training is superb. Gina checked in quite often the first few weeks to make sure everything was going okay, and to offer training advice if I had any questions. The level of commitment she has shown to dogs she has trained really shows. She is always a text or phone call away if a training situation arises. The support from her and Applied Canine Concepts has allowed me to develop a relationship with Taro that otherwise would not have been possible.

  I chose Applied Canine Concept’s puppy raising service so my dog would have a perfect foundation from the start. I work full time and did not have time to raise a pup. They did everything from potty training, crate training and obedience training until she was ready to be integrated into my household. I’m so glad I did! I got such a well adjusted dog with an incredible attitude Gina and Fabian did an unbelievable job training my German Shepherd, which then intern bled over to my pocket bully following in her footsteps. They called and sent videos regularly to help me understand where I was doing well and needed help, always available for my questions and guidance. The work they did with my dog was nothing but incredible, obedient playful and protector when appropriate. I brought the dog home and my other dog who had little to no training has quickly followed in suit with suggestions and guidance from Applied canine and is improving daily. I can’t give them enough praise or thanks for an incredible job and an incredible dog.
