SpitzeK9 Dog Training - Bridgeville, Pennsylvania

Game changing training! So grateful to Antonio and his team. Our older 4.5 year old German Shepherd received a great foundation- then of course the human parents need to do the hard work to be consistent, patient with their dog. We take him everywhere without a leash - we use a harness and tab leash for safety and emergencies when we walk him - it also makes others feel safer. Thank you 🙏🏽.

PS - we take him to hotels when we have long drives and he’s sneaked a snooze on the big comfy bed !

Antonio and his team did an excellent job training our cane corso Hank. We recently took him in as a stray, not knowing his breed and having no experience with that level of stubbornness. We were in over our heads, and his behavior was causing us so much anxiety.
We did the board and train option, and we have seen results immediately. Antonio was very thorough when we picked up Hank and taught my husband and I how to work with him, so that we could feel secure in his training. I feel confident that Antonio and his team have given us the tools that we need to make sure that Hank is successful.

I’m so glad a friend recommended that I call Antonio to help me with my rescue dog, a Great Dane mix. Ace seemed like the perfect dog, until he became very reactive on the leash when he would see another dog. I could no longer handle him safely.
Without Antonio’s knowledge and guidance I would never have been able to keep my dog.
He helped me to be a better handler and I’m grateful for the amazing training!!

Antonio is honestly patient, professional, knowledgeable, and excellent at his craft. We started training our pup pretty early, and we are so grateful for the results we see.
I see some lady gave SpitzeK9 a bad review on here, and I couldn't be further from that perspective in my evaluation of our value received.
If you care about your relationship with your pet and the well-being of your pet long term, give Antonio a call.
Thanks Antonio!

We absolutely adore Antonio and his Team! I had a lot of anxiety bringing home a new female puppy (Cora) with our established 9yr old male (Thor) after years of him being the top dog. Both are very strong breeds and felt my confidence was lacking in situations where I would be the only person around to correct and control undesirable and possibly dangerous situations. Thor fully responded to Antonio's methods within moments, I was amazed! I can now enjoy so many new and exciting activities with my pack like going to dog-friendly restaurants, walking off-leash with ease and highly populated areas without the stress of my dogs being an issue. We get so many compliments on how well-behaved the dogs are, seriously life changing! I am so grateful to Antonio and recommend SpitzeK9 to everyone!!

Antonio was amazing. We came in needing help with training our Shepherd pup. Our new shepherds personality was very different from our first girl and our basic training wasnt working. We particularly looked for someone who knew and understood the breed. He was very knowledgeable, easy to talk to and really took his time with training.
I couldn't walk her with her ripping my arm off, dragging me down the street it was dangerous for both of us. She was aggressive when passing other dogs on walks and almost to much for me to handle.
We worked with Antonio for 4-5 weeks on training her and US and it paid off. We couldn't be happier. This isn't like going to Petco for training, you have to put the work in with your dog be dedicated to the program. In the beginning of the training I thought I was in over my head and became flustered easily, but I'm happy we stuck with it! I'm now able to walk with her off lead and keep her with me. I can't thank him enough!

It has been just over a week since we picked up our girl, an adopted 15-month-old, 150-pound, Great Dane from SpitzeK9 and we’ve been pinching ourselves ever since believing we must be dreaming. Before dropping her off for the two-week board and train, we had her for a month and knew we needed professional help. She has come home as a completely new dog. She stays in “walk” at our left hip, without a leash if we choose, even with high distractions like other dogs, deer or squirrels. She immediately drops into “sit” or “down” and will stay in down while we walk away up to 50 yards (probably further, we haven’t tried) and not come until commanded. We’ve never had a dog, and we’ve had lots of dogs, with better recall. We are so grateful and in awe of how well trained she is and can confidently take her out anywhere in public and know she will be a masterful example of the breed. Most importantly, Antonio trained us upon pickup and took all the time we needed to feel confident bringing her home. He was responsive to calls and text messages and regularly updated us with videos of her progress. Both he and Mel are expert trainers, and we couldn’t recommend SpiteK9 any more highly.

Initially we wanted a two week board and train but ended up having to do at home training due to Rusty’s aggressive attitude. Antonio was very professional and helped us get Rusty under control. We couldn’t thank him enough for his time, effort, and patience with us and our family.
