Client Feedback

What Our Clients Say

Discover why our clients trust us for top-quality canine solutions.

I had many options of training courses at other training centers before I chose the Dog Handler Training course at Tackle Hoff K-9. Their response and information about Tackle Hoff K-9 and my interest to do DH3 training. There for I chose to join Tackle Hoff K-9, I was contacted via email and short after we had a date for our training session and finally, I was ready to take the next step to improve my skills in the security industry as a Dog Handler. I’ve worked with dogs for some time in the past at a Security company so I wanted to make sure the course fit my experience level. (I had no idea how much I had yet to learn.) I already own a canine at home so I knew more or less about dogs. My experience in the security industry through out the years also helped in most parts of the courses. Linda and Gawie is a wealth of information and experience for their dog training students. During our training (and the best part of the program, in my opinion) she could easily solve most, training or dog business questions that I asked. She knows what works, what doesn’t and why. This course has given me the tools to be the Dog Handler I always thought I could be. I’m definitely doing my DH4 and DH5 at Tackle Hoff K-9. And will always recommend Tackle Hoff K-9 to my friends and future dog handlers.
