He did a great job on training me on how to handle Grizzly. We have a lot less trouble in handling Grizzly. He is very thorough in his training.

Gary Watts’ training was exactly what my young shepherd needed…very high strung and untrusting of others, (not Gary)…got a great start on obedience and behavioral training…can’t think of a better recommendation for someone interested in finding their own, “ Cesar Milan.“

I have trained several dogs with Gary when he was in California. He was my go to guy for any problems I have had with my agility dogs. He is very knowledgeable and is quiet and kind to my dogs. He is very patient and explains exactly what he is doing and why. I have had very good results using him for all the different dog behaviors over the years. Every dog is different and Gary adapts very well to all behaviors. I truly miss his guidance now that he is in Florida!

We first met Gary in 2008. I had an testy Queeensland (Alligator) Healer. Very Independent pup with zero interest in listening to commands. Gary had her number within a few minutes.. Since then over a span of 16 years . I have hired him for 2 other dogs with completely different issues. South African Boerboels, very intelligent .. but hard headed and very reactive instinctually. He adapted to each of their needs and personalities . Approaching each with what worked best for them individually. He was always available to answer questions or show me the better way to handle situations. I would recommend him 100percent . Honest, kind and with a genuine care that the dogs best interest is his priority.

My husband and I met Gary just a few months after we rescued are dog Nova. She's a Siberian Husky with German Shepherd mix. I could tell she had had some training in the past. But I needed to learn how to be more confident around her and I needed Nova to be comfortable with me. Gary spent almost every Saturday morning with us helping build my relationship with Nova. I'm happy to say, it was the best money spent. Nova has grown in to a beautiful dog, who listens and respects me. She's not perfect, but either am I. We both have continued to use the tips Gary gave us and our relationship just keeps getting better! I am able to take Nova out while I feed our sheep with our worrying she'll chase them. Because even if she does, I can confident get her to calm down and listen to me. Thank you Gary for all of your hard work. We wish you success with all of your future clients!

I have an American Staffordshire terrier named Bella. She was almost a red zone dog when it came to other animals. We almost had to get rid of her due to this. My last hope was finding someone to help train her and me. I found Gary at Watts freestyle K-9 training. Gary helped me to understand what was needed to make Bella a well-balanced dog. We trained together twice a week, and I learned much more than just dog behaviors. I learned that as an owner, I also had to be trained to help my dog learn right from wrong. Bella is no longer red zone dog. I can take her on walks, trips to my son’s house, where they have a cat. They now interact together with no problems. thanks to Gary‘s help she is well adjusted and just the best dog ever.
