"David has been a great trainer for my red heeler, Alice. He gave her a solid start with basic commands and was always open to answering questions. Three years later, we still pop in occasionally for a group class to brush up on skills. I would totally recommend David Wagner and Guterhund to anyone looking for a good dog trainer." -Beth R. |
|
"David was absolutely wonderful with our dogs Sherlock and Ranger. He was patient and worked with our schedule. After using the tricks he taught us, our dogs are much easier to walk and much more well behaved. He even managed to get our dog to get in and out of our truck which was one of the biggest hurdles we had. My husband and I would highly recommend David and his training sessions!" -Mindy C |
|
"David was awesome with our very active, one year old rescue, Bailey. She made significant improvements after just a few short visits. David is kind, but firm and Bailey responded well to his training. We highly recommend David and Gunter Hund!" -Lisa M |

"A goal of mine since I got Scooby, my American Silver Lab, was to go into therapy work. Before I could do that we had to get through issues such as barking, welcoming people/ other dogs and listening. Since going through your 3 step program I have seen a vast improvement in both me and Scooby. We were able to pass our Canine Good Test and we are planning to attain my goal of going into therapy by the first of the new year. Thank you again for your help and training for me and my Scooby Doo." -Melissa S. |

"David has an incredible talent for working with dogs and can quickly pin point the skills/commands that need focused on. Not only will David work with you and your dog, but he gives tips and guidance on easy ways to work with your dog between sessions. I noticed a huge improvement in my dog from the first session and his responsiveness, as well as my own comfortability with these skills. The frequency of the group classes and David’s flexibility with the individual sessions is extremely helpful. If you’re seeking training for your pups, I could not recommend Guter Hund more!" -Adrianna B. |
|
"Just graduated today from training with David! Our Cane Corso, Harley, absolutely loves David and has learned to be an amazing, well mannered, and pretty chill puppy! He not only gave us the tools we needed, but taught us how to use them very well and Harley is the result of excellent training! I interviewed 5 or 6 K9 trainers and only 1, Guter Hund K9 Training, was willing to work with us while our pup was under 6 months. David, you are the best and we couldn't have done this without you!" -Missy T. |
|
"I am very impressed with David of Guter Hund K9. He is honest, educated, and has done amazing with my dog. He has been wonderful at explaining to me how communicate with my dog, and how to understand where she is coming from as well. I have great confidence in his ability to train my dog, and maybe with a little luck, me too! I had some minor issues with my girl, that had me feeling apprehensive and seeking an expert. After just a few sessions with David, I am so happy to see them begin to dissolve and see vast improvement! Thank you David for your time, kindness, and patience. I look forward to more!" -Kahhrma H. |

"David is very patient and I have witnessed what he has accomplished with several dogs. He is a natural dog whisperer." -Gary R. |
|
"David is a very experienced and patient trainer. He’s done a great job teaching us how to work with our new puppy, who’s gone from a really difficult dog to, now, an obedient family pet - most of the time. ;) As busy as our family is, I especially appreciated David’s one-on-one at your home training option. I highly recommend." -Brady R. |
|
"Our Golden, Rollo, loves David. Rollo completed 5 sessions at our home, and is now able to be off leash without being distracted. David is patient, gentle, and accommodating to dog and human alike. He also offers the chance for group lessons!" -Sheila L. |
|
"I signed up for the basic training for my new resuce pup Lily that was added to my family of Jake and three cats needless to say I needed help. David has done such a great job with Lily she has made such progress. All his tips really work I was amazed at how much easier it has been at home since I found him. Thank you David, for everything, I appreciate you." -Carmen E. |
|
"David has been wonderful with our Goldendoodle, Lulu! His techniques and patience are amazing, with both dog and owner. The convenience of being able to train in our own home is a huge added benefit to working with David. I highly recommend David and look forward to continuing advanced training with him as I know Lulu does, as well!" -Monica O. |
|
"We saw remarkable progress after the first session! We were extremely pleased with the job that David has done with our dog and with what we have learned in the process." -Tracy G. |
|
"David is personable, flexible, responds quickly, and tailors his training to fit your needs. Plus he is reasonably priced. I signed my two rescues up for the basics class and we plan to continue in our training. Highly recommend!" -Sara H. |
|
"My dog and I worked with David for the past 3 months. I highly recommend this program to anyone who needs training. We were given the right tools and corrective measures to use while working on obedience. David was extremely patient and so easy to work with. Thanks again!"-Joshua G. |
|
"David is wonderful... He is training our 2 mini Schnauzers, Maggie and Daisy. He is so patient with them and has done such a good job teaching them manners. We still a few more classes but I am so excited about our fur babies progress.🐶🐶" - Debbie L. |
|
"Teddy has been in training for 3 weeks and started out without even coming to his own name and now he sits, heals, stays, lays down on command and comes running to his name and is still a happy boy!"-Louise N. |

"I have a very energetic four month old blue heeler. I was in desperate need of some guidance to help teach her to be calmer but more importantly to listen. I’m amazed at how one session made a world of a difference! What made it even better is how the lessons are completed in your own environment. Salem and I thank you so very much and look forward to another session." -Mariah L. |
|
"I have 2 Siberian Huskies that are very active & without manners. The training provided by David was exceptional and made me say “Wow”. Both huskies are totally different & with further training, will become amazingly well mannered. If you have a dog that needs some training, please contact David as you certainly will be very pleased with the outcome. He is the best!!" -Pearl D.

"My puppy Milo is a high energy dog—a border collie, Australian mix. I initially had a lot of issues with him listening to me and really felt that it was impossible for him to respect me and follow commands. I found David online and decided to give his program a try after reading the good reviews, and after seeing it was incredibly affordable for me. David is professional, patient, and has been very honest with me. He taught me how to communicate with Milo and helped me understand how smart and obedient my puppy could be with proper training and commands. I am so thankful to David for showing Milo and I how to communicate with each other, and am so excited to show off the amazing talent my puppy had all along. THANK YOU, GUTER HUND TRAINING! 💕" -Illissa D

"David has been amazing with our dog, Ranger! He has so much knowledge and has really educated us on how to handle a very energetic big dog. I feel much more comfortable going out in public with him now. We saw a quick improvement with Ranger but also know it takes time, repetition, and practice to get where we want to be with him. Really like how David does private lessons tailored to our needs and also does the group lessons. His prices are very affordable as well! Highly recommend Guter Hund K9 Training!!!" -Kelly W.

"Before calling David, my 6 month old puppy Ernie and I seemed to be a lost cause. Training was frustrating and seemed to never work. I was about to give up before I came across Guter Hund. When I first saw the price, I couldn't believe it was so low for private, come to your house, on your own time, training sessions. Compared to other trainers, David's value can't be beat. Within 10 minutes of the first session, Ernie was already catching on and developing new skills. I couldn't believe it. I swear David is a dog whisperer. David also showed me how to properly train a dog. He taught me different techniques and skills that you can't learn online. As the weeks went on, Ernie became more and more obedient. The final test was at The Home Depot during our last session. What once was a disaster of jumping, pulling, and not listening, became a well behaved and obedient dog. I can't thank David enough for his hard work and showing me that with a little patience and time each day you can have a well trained dog. I can't wait to see what else Ernie can learn. I highly recommend Guter Hund K9 for your dog training needs." -Nolan J.

"Guter Hund K9 Training has helped my dog tremendously!!! I have a very, very hyper puppy and tried training him on my own and saw no progress. After my 4 lessons with Guter Hund, my pup knows all his basic commands & is so much better with not jumping up & leash walking. Also very great pricing for the private lessons! Highly recommend to anyone who needs dog training." -Savannah M. |

"I searched and searched to get the right training for Smokey our 9 month old Lab/Husky mix. I prayed God would guide me to the right trainer and he did. I am so pleased with the training David has done with Smokey, my husband and ME!. Who knew I needed so much training… When we first met David, Smokey was not friendly towards him but it only took a few minutes for David to win him over. For a very energetic puppy, Smokey quickly learned commands and has improved his attention tremendously. Both Smokey and I enjoy our walks more peacefully and enjoy taking him places. Smokey looks forward to seeing David because he makes his training work enjoyable for him. Thanks David!" -Linda H.

"My wife and I adopted our first dog in June (a 3 month old doberman). We had no experience training a puppy, so we called Guter Hund our first week. David worked around our schedule and came at 6:30pm to our first training. Our puppy immediately responded to him. David knew how to show her what the expectations were, which she immediately met. He patiently watched us work with our pup and and corrected us so we provided the consistency dogs need for training. Not only does he do home training, we did training sessions at Home Depot and a local park to work in distractions and real work scenarios. The best part of the deal is the bi-monthly group training where we work with other dogs present and David sets up exercises to challenge the dogs. While there, he commonly asks if we are experiencing any new problems and at home and offers advice on how to work with our dog. " -Ryan L.

"We just completed our basic training with Dave and we have seen huge improvements with Bori! Looking forward for the advanced training! Bori continues to work on his socialization....but at home he is a great puppy. Sit, stays, down are good to go.....my favorite is how Dave taught us how to avoid the craziness when the doorbell rings!!!" - Sylvia M. |
|
"An amazing experience for the owners and the dog. Guter Hund has a wide variety of techniques for the owner to encourage good behaviors from your dog as well as great recommendations for products to aid in the implementation of training." -Brad B. |
|
"David is an expert dog trainer. He teaches with patience with the dog owner and lots of love and encouragement for the dog." -Barbara H. |
|
"David was so helpful in training our two Schauzers. They barked all the time and just didn’t listen or mind us at all. In just the first lesson we saw a remarkable difference in them. They both are so much better than before. I’d highly recommend David for training you and your dog!!" -Kay B. |
|
"I have a German Shepherd and a Lab, I could never take them on walks because it was always so stressful. David came to my home and taught me how to communicate with my dogs. They responded to him so well. He is a great trainer, I’m lucky to have found him." -Yliana B. |
|
"He is amazing!! We have a very head strong dog that with 3 personal appointments we saw major improvements. Dont hesitate, he is great!!" -Jennel K. |
|
"What a wonderful experience. Thank you David for making this an enjoyable time. I know the dogs learned something but the people have had their eyes opened to a wonderful new way of enjoying our pets. You are the best & we look forward to the group gatherings." Gail L. |
|
"David was very helpful training my dog. If I had a question I could txt him and he would respond within minutes. It’s amazing watching him work and how the dogs just listen to him. Not only does he train your dog but he teaches you how to train them and how to understand them. Great guy I would 100% recommend him!!" -Evan V. |
|
"David has been amazing with Denver, my Aussie-Bernie. Denver did well with dogs at the dog park and in public, but not good at all when walking on a leash at our apartment. He barked, pulled, you name it. David came to the apartment complex so he could train Denver in his own environment, which made a ton of difference. He is MUCH better mannered now and I don't cringe when I see another dog. Most importantly, David trained me to be a better, more confident leader, which gave Denver more confidence that he didn't need to be in charge. Happier dog, happier dog owner!! So glad we found him! Very reasonably priced also." -Holly K.

"Today we completed our first set of training sessions for our 12 month old golden retriever with Guter Hund K9 Training. Not only did we learn tools to help him obey when we’re out and about, but he also came out of his shell so much over the past month. He was so scared when we adopted him, and he no longer spends the whole day in the office avoiding us and our noise. He makes eye contact and loves to go on walks now. So thankful for a great trainer and our precious furry guy." -Stephanie F. |
|
"David transformed my GSP puppy into a well behaved family dog. He worked with my kids to show them how to properly train and walk our dog. We cannot thank him enough, before Guter Hund, we seriously thought of giving our dog up! Thank you for all you have done!" -April E. |
|
"David was awesome! We have a chocolate lab puppy that we worked with tirelessly on our own but training was just not clicking for us or Ranger (our puppy). David was the missing link! David helped guide us through the process with his extensive experience. David was able to adjust on the fly and understand our personal needs instead of just being cookie cutter training lessons. I highly recommend Guter Hund K9 Training!" -Joe S. |
|
"Opie is a mini dachshund and he is usually super hesitant with new people but took an immediate liking to David. He was nice and helpful from walking me through all the steps and giving insight on topics and tasks for my puppy I never would have thought of! A great experience." -Martina G.
|
|
"My husband and I have a very energetic, often times stubborn, 2.5 year old lab. Our pup had basic commands like, sit and stay, but he did not walk on a leash well and did not have good manners. Since working with David, our dog’s leash skills have improved tremendously! We have learned how to heel, greet people at the door appropriately, behave in a public setting and so much more. What I like most about David and that he also helped my husband and I break bad habits we had that attributed to our pups not so great behavior from before. Overall, if you’re looking for a trainer, I highly recommend David!" -Katlyn C. |
|
"Awesome guy, our puppy, Scout, loves him and learned quickly. David is extremely accommodating to you and your dogs specific needs. Can’t say enough good things about David and his classes." -Billy W. |
|
"Thank you for helping our new addition to the family Ace. Gutter Hund was helpful from the moment we brought home our puppy at 8 weeks. We had to wait till he was fully vaccinated and at least 4 months to start the training sessions. David calmed my daughter by answering all her questions on numerous occasions and brought relief to her as she was overwhelmed with the responsibilities of training/owning a small puppy , months before we had our first training lesson. David was hands down awesome!!! Glad we found him!! Can’t wait to continue our unlimited group training sessions !!!" -Vevette P.

"David has been wonderful helping me to train my old english sheepdog which is a big dog at almost 5 months now. He excels at training you so you can train the dog. I have learned so much from David and Beau is doing so well. The rest will be me being consistent and Beau just growing and maturing. Thank you David for all of your help. We will continue in the public training sessions. I give David very high marks. Check him out." -Tena D.

"I highly recommend training with David! We started our 14 week old Siberian husky puppy with the Basics Program. She just had her final lesson and I’m so impressed with how well she listens. David is very knowledgeable and helped my husband and I come up with a consistent and effective training routine. Wonderful experience!" -Sharla J. |
|
"David is wonderful. I don't know what I would have done without his training! Piper is now a dog I can take everywhere with me and she is so well behaved. I can't say enough good words!" -Bonnie U. |
|
"Oh man David is awesome! We adopted a 1 year old yellow lab mix, Buddy, from the humane society and he is a bundle of energy. We were able to start lessons almost immediately and saw improvements after the first one. David is extremely knowledgeable and has helped my husband and I tremendously with Buddy. We completed 3 at home lessons, working on the basic commands, door greeting, leash training, and jumping/play biting. The improvement has been great! We also plan on doing group classes to work on distractions and interacting with others. Looking online I saw some other dog trainers in my area but not a single one had the reviews that Guter Hund does and the prices can’t compare either. I highly recommend Guter Hund for any dog training you may need!" -Vanessa O.

"David was very helpful with helping us get our German Shepard puppy to listen. He broke down lessons and gave us lots of opportunities to practice." - Lauren R. |

"We had a great experience with the Trainer, David at Gunter Hund K-9 . After adopting, Atreo, a year old Husky, who came with some very bad habits and behaviorial issues we knew we needed professional help. We searched for a good trainer that came highly recommended by previous client's...All paths kept leading us to David and Gunter Hund Training. The reviews were spot on! After two private sessions we were given a thumbs up from David and we graduated! David suggested we attend a group class and go from there. We are making some really great progress, not perfection yet, but definitely making progress. David is very helpful, and tailored the training to our specific needs. We fully intend on going all the way with the classes and hope to keep David around as part of our forever journey with our sweet boy, Atreo!!! Thank you, David!! ❤️" -Roseanne G.

"David was extremely knowledgeable, professional and patient! We did the Crash Course and we’re very encouraged by our dog’s response to his methods after just the one hour class. We already signed up for the Advanced Group Classes and look forward to working with David moving forward!" -Katy G. |
|
"David is the man! Thanks to him and his training we now have a well behaved GSP! He is not just a dog trainer but a great coach for us dog owners to learn the proper way to bring out the best in our pups. Thanks for all your help David! -Fernando J. |
|
"If you are looking for top notch dog training - stop looking and contact David! He has an amazing connection with dogs and I highly recommend him as a trainer! He offers a wealth of knowledge on every topic related to training. His expertise surpassed all of my expectations. Honestly, I think he speaks dog language! Harley Quinn (our 10 month old pup) responded to his training literally in the 1st session and has made significant progress in just 4 sessions with 1 more private lesson remaining. David is truly passionate and dedicated to his job! He is professional and reliable. Come to find out the humans need as much, if not more training than the dogs! We will be continuing group lessons! Thanks for your expertise. Shanna & Harley Quinn 🐕" _ Shanna H.

"David seriously saved me!!! Our initial interaction before our very first lesson even began, he watched my giant puppy Banana literally dragging me across the pavement with me hanging on for dear life!!! David, calmly took the leash away from me, and right then in that moment…it was like magic!!! I couldn’t believe my eyes!!! It was like I had a completely different dog after one lesson. Now I don’t know if David is a miracle worker, or a dog whisperer, but he has been a true blessing for me. David recognized right away what an amazing puppy I have, and Banana & I are soooo thankful to have found him when we did. David has been life changing for me. I used to actually be scared to walk my dog!!! I really do believe that David saved me & Banana from getting seriously injured. I didn’t think that my dog could be trained in 5 sessions, but turns out he responded so well after just 1!!! So I’m definitely a believer in his program. Thank you David for sharing your gift with me & Banana…you have been life changing.  Marie & Banana" -Marie B.

"I have the sweetest little Scottie except he is terrified of people outside of our family and them coming into our home. It is complete chaos when people come over and we love have folks visit. My Scottie urinates on himself, urinates on you, the floor, runs, hides and barks so incessantly I can’t even think; so I knew I had to get him help. Thank goodness for your help! Instant change, which was not expected AT ALL. He still has work to do, but seeing these massive changes today made me a believer so much that we are doing a private lesson with all three of our dogs now. This man knows what he is doing and will give you the tools to get it done. Well worth the money and I didn’t think I was spending much to get your knowledge and expertise. Thanks again!!!! This was a game changer!" -Crissy H.

"First session went great!! We're having David back for a couple more." Bill B. |

"David did an amazing job training our 2 pups and us as owners. He took his time with all of us and really went out of his way to ensure we got the most out of all our lessons. It was great to have him come to our home for the first few sessions, then move on to public areas where we could put the basics to the test but still have him there to talk us through everything. 100% will use him in the future if we get another dog." -Nicole J. |
