    Patrick O'Hearn of Pat's K9 Training, LLC is one of the most expert and professional trainers I have ever worked with. I met Pat back in 2021 through a military friend, who knew that I, as a former k9 handler in the US Army, was looking for a k9 of my own on the civilian side. From Day One, Patrick was very honest, professional, driven and dedicated to help me find the perfect Belgian Malinois. After a Malinois was turned in to him for a rehome, Patrick worked with her faults and trained her up to be the perfect, off leash, driven K9. I was so impressed with the work Patrick did with her, that I wound up rescuing 2 more Working Dogs (Malinois and a GSD/Malinois Mix) for myself personally. Patrick loves dogs so much, that be dedicates extensive hours to perfecting their obedience and trust. At least one of my dogs (a male Malinois) was said to be 'aggressive' so he was turned into Pat as a surrender. After working with Pat, Pat turned my male Malinois life around and he now has an amazing home. Patrick has never not been there for me if I ever had a question, especially since I had always owned Shepherds. I had worked with Malinois via a PD and the Military, but never did I have one. I was so impressed with how Pat works with these working dogs and other breeds, Pat and I worked together to help rehome 4 other K9s in addition to my 3. And I can tell you this - they are all extremely happy in their new lives. One is now a working k9 with a PD in Northern PA, the other with the DEA and the third is getting ready to compete for his first official Obedience Title with the AKC. I wish I lived in Arizona, because if I did - I would board my dogs there without hesitation. I trust Patrick more than anyone else with my dogs. My female Mal is getting ready to get her civilian Narcotics Detection Certification, my male Malinois is now into Dock Diving (and is amazing with people, btw) and my female Shepherd/Malinois mix is ready to compete in her first official Schutzhund (IPO) trial. I can't thank Patrick enough for all that he has done. I will continue to recommend Pat as often as I can. He is one of the most dedicated, educated, and inspirational trainers I have ever met. The top two are bottom left are my pups I've rescued through Pat. Not only is he amazing with your pets, he's incredible with both police and military k9s also. Thank you, Pat! -CPT Julia Valenti Military Police Officer Commanding

    I have never paid for a trainer before. My wife kept hearing recommendations from co-workers, so we took Nala (our Weimaraner) to Pat's. Amazing. Now the leash is carried to keep others at ease in busy areas. We have scheduled boarding for Stella (our new GSP). Also sent a couple friends who have said great things. In case that's not enough we've used Pat's to dog sit for a couple vacations.

    My dog is very well behaved and follows commands. It's amazing what Pat did for my dog. It was well worth it.

    Crazy how much better my dog is with just 2 weeks of training. It's a joy to go to the dog park or a walk not a stressful chore.

She's a sweet girl who's transitioned wonderfully from a quiet rescue (at 9 months) to a fun, playful, obedient (well, mostly), and happy best friend. We set up four training sessions with Mike M. and had such a good and productive time that we did four more, and Murphy-Lou is doing great! She's mastered all the basics (i.e., sit, come, down, heel, off, place, etc.) and she no longer just ignores me when interested in something else, but turns to me glaring, "I am a Coonhound, you oaf, just one moment, there is a leaf here and I must give it appropriate consideration", and when finished she'll walk over and sit next to my foot. Mike is abundantly knowledgeable, experienced, patient, and super friendly... and he's also very considerate in trying not to sound critical of my own efforts training Murphy -- a couple of times I've told him, "don't worry about hurting my feelings, if I need to do something differently just let me know -- I'm the one who needs training!" He's just a really good guy and fun to work with and I recommend him to anyone who's genuinely interested in learning to train the pups! (We're gonna do more work with him!)

We wanted to understand our puppy's behavior and Matthew was able to explain everything in a detailed manner! He was always eager to teach and was patient and kind every step of the way! The area that the pups stay in is very clean & organized. He even plays movies for the dogs! He goes above and beyond to making sure the dogs are comfortable and safe! Overall, I'd highly recommend the board and training! We already experienced our puppy around other dogs and it was a night and day difference! We learned so much about our puppy and it's clear that Matthew cares about all the dogs and wants what's best for our fur babies!

The trainer came for the first session and it was great. At the second session she said she had not been paid in sometime by the owner so couldn't train anymore until the situation was rectified. She was already at my house so I paid cash- because she was great! Since then I have called daily to attempt to get a new trainer or money back and NOTHING! Their business voicemail is now full and email doesn't work! DO NOT TRUST THIS BUSINESS OR GIVE THEM ANY MONEY!

    Before I discovered all American K-9 I was 100% disappointed and discouraged with all of the…read moreprevious training and gadgets that I had tried. I could not figure out why nothing was working. A colleagusuggested that I try a dog trainer named Bob Solomini that he had used in the past. His passion and confidence in Bob convinced me and even though I was very skeptical and worn out I decided to give it one last try. I am excited to tell you about my invaluable experience and what I learned from it: -my dog was only a small part of the problem, but the majority of the behavioral problems stemmed from me. Dogs aren't born knowing how to behave the way humans would like them to, so we as responsible dog owners need to teach them. -we don't automatically realize what we are doing wrong and unless a true professional who really cares can teach us the correct way we can't be sure that we will ultimately have a happy relationship with our pet. -after four years of pulling my hair out and stressful walks with my dog I wound up moving to a new neighborhood, and my dog was totally out of control when I walked him. When he saw people with dogs, he went crazy and I could not stop him from barking and pulling. In fact, he pulled me down a couple of times where I sprained my ankle and another time where I hurt my knee. In fact, most of my neighbors walked the other way when they saw us and complained about my dog's bad behavior. After the first lesson, I immediately knew that I had found something different. Humane, focused,, professional, and results driven. I am so lucky that I found all American K-9 and especially Bob Solomini. I love walking my dog now, and all of my neighbors have praised the incredible transformation that they see. This was literally a life-changing experience for my dog and for me. I am so thankful that I found somebody that really knows what they're doing and really cares -not only is Bob a great person, but also the Best dog trainer that I have ever met. I highly recommend this trainer and business to anyone who is serious about having a great dog!

    All American K‑9 deserves every star. I researched trainers for weeks before choosing Bob, and I'm…read moreso thankful I did. Before training, Maggie was almost impossible to walk, constant leash pulling, barking, and reactivity that made it embarrassing to take her anywhere. Since our very first lesson, she has completely transformed. She's calmer, more responsive, and so much easier to handle. Now I can take her with me to Lowe's or PetSmart and she walks right next to me, relaxed and focused. I even get compliments from people about how calm she is. Bob explains everything clearly and gives you tools that actually work. If you're looking for a trainer who truly knows what he's doing, this is the place.

Everyday when we arrive we are greeted with smiles and love. My Bella gets so excited when we pull in and the staff really love their job. You can feel the love when you walk in the door instantly.

All of the pups are happy and I also love the different events they have throughout the month that you can sign your pup up to. The cameras are a great addition to feel at ease if you are wondering how your pup is doing. I even got my pup a bath a couple of weeks ago and she looked great after while smelling so good. I could go on and on about the staff and the manager here! Just a great place with great people that really love what they do and love all of the fur babies.

I would not recommend this location based on what happened.
