Hello

FINESSE K9 IS BASED OUT OF ANACORTES, WA - TRAVELING AS FAR AS SEATTLE, WA FOR DOG TRAINING! I CREATED THIS BUSINESS OUT OF THE PURE LOVE I HAVE FOR DOGS. I OWN A BELGIAN MALINOIS, MARS, AND A DUTCH SHEPHERD, SCARLETT! WE LOVE THE OUTDOORS, EXPLORING NEW PLACES, AND TEACHING NEW DOGS.

FOR ME, THE MOST REWARDING PART OF THIS BUSINESS COMES AT THE END OF A DOGS TRAINING WHEN I TAKE THE DOG HOME FOR THE LAST SESSION AND WATCH HIM OR HER PERFORM BEAUTIFULLY FOR THEIR OWNER!

IT IS ALWAYS SATISFYING TO SEE A WAVE OF RELIEF WASH OVER A CLIENT WHEN THEY SEE HOW FAR THEIR DOG HAS COME AND REALIZE THAT THEIR LIFE JUST GOT A WHOLE LOT EASIER!

Zack is quite the
gifted trainer!

  "Zack combines a deep understanding of dogs, great calm and gentleness in handling them, confidence grounded in his own training, and very clear and consistent communication when he asks them to perform. Both my dogs have benefited hugely from his handling as well as his coaching of me. I have used his board and train service as well as his advice and help with all manner of troubles and further training (getting my dogs to go into their crates on command, teaching them a focused heel, troubleshooting one dog's reactivity problems). I can't recommend him enough, he is quite a gifted trainer."

We are a happy 2 dog family, thanks to Zack and his training techniques!

"We had a 5 y.o, and had just added a puppy to our family. At about 8 months old, the puppy started showing dominant behavior. We could not correct the behavior ourselves and thats when we found Zack. He evaluated and created a plan to correct the behavior and what we liked the most was his approach included training for us too. [...]The 2 dogs are getting along great, and puppy is behaving well. [...] The experience with Finesse K9 was great, and would highly recommend the training Zack offers!"

The best experience I could have ever hoped for

"I am in the unique position to have obtained my dog directly from Zack, and he (the dog) came fully trained, well socialized, and is very responsive. The really important thing is Zack's interactions with pet owners. He wants to see you and your dog succeed, and he sets you up for that. My dog came to me knowing how to obey commands, but the real trick was teaching me how to give my dog commands. Zack walked me through the process, worked and practiced with me, and has always been quick to provide helpful advice when I have had questions or concerns. My dog is everything I have ever wanted in a pet and more, and I know I owe it to Zack and his expertise with dogs."

You changed the game when it comes to walks!

 "We got Benni at the very beginning of quarantine with little experience with puppies from either of us. We reached out to Zack to work on basic obedience and especially leash training! Although Benni was little, he sure was mighty! Ever since working with Zack, walks have been stress free and Benni is extremely obedient in day to day tasks and commands. We also 1000% trust Zack to care for Benni overnight for boarding knowing he will be well taken care of and get training during his stay. A win-win! We are thankful for you, Zack!"
