Three years ago my wife and I found ourselves scouring
the internet after watching and desperately trying to get
our dog rehabilitated by Cesar Millan from National Geographic’s
Television show, The Dog Whisperer.  Our dog was difficult to control.
She was a strong breed and as much as I tried the tidbits I picked
up on TV I found myself being dragged around the streets of
the East Village, embarrassed I couldn’t  be the calm confident
leader my Dominant Secure dog so desperately needed. 
Finally after reading dozens of websites and speaking with
several trainers, I found Mike D’Abruzzo of K9-1 Specialized Dog Training.

I had real problems and after speaking with Mike,
I realized he could provide real solutions. It was more than
the obedience videos I watched, it was Mike’s commitment
and philosophy in dealing with dog’s that led me to the
beginning of an incredible  life changing journey. After completing
the complete hands on training method Mike employed,
and spending countless hours afterwards, as his assistant
I learned the secrets of what some call Dog Whispering. 
The knowledge and understanding of dog culture and the ability
to put yourself in their “paws” making for a special relationship
between handler and dog. 

Mike has a motto, I train with it in my heart.

WE WELCOME THESE DOGS AS THEY ARE.
WITH DEDICATION, COMPASSION AND RESPECT, WE WILL LEAD...
 
Each and every dog I have trained, I approach with this
philosophy in mind.  Many behaviors are shared by all dogs,
regardless of breed.  Other dogs show a strong desire to release
their restless spirits through engaging in activity that is
instinctive to them.  Every dog is unique, each and every
one deserving of our respect as we learn to work with them
not only to follow at our heel, but to see us as their pack leader.
In working with you and your dog, you can be certain of a new path.
A different and more fulfilling relationship between you and your dog.
 
And finally to top it all off, they will follow on and off leash
a significant number of one word softly spoken commands.

I specialize in all dogs.  Human and dog aggression cases too.
Using the Foundation Training System TM, I truly believe no dog
is unable to be trained.  At the completion of the program
you the handler, will be amazed at how your dog follows
your commands with one softly spoken word. There is no
need to yell, plead or heaven forbid, strike your dog
for it to follow at your heel off leash like a champ. 
The system works using the absolute minimum amount
of motivation necessary for your dog to reach a point where
corrections become few and far between.  This comprehensive
system takes into account everything from the health of your dog
right through the desensitizing process, giving you the tools and
attitude to be truly become your dog's leader.
