#1 Dog Behavioral Training in Dayton, Ohio

The Best Choice for Blended Dog Families

Training Showcase: A Blended Family Success Story

Blending two families with multiple dogs can be a real challenge, but Alex and Sev found the perfect solution at Outstanding K9 in Dayton, Ohio. With 3 dogs from Alex and 2 from Sev, they faced behavioral challenges, including aggression and difficulty getting their dogs to coexist peacefully.

After completing our comprehensive behavior modification and advanced off-leash obedience training program, they successfully merged their pack—creating a harmonious home for all five dogs.

Watch as they seamlessly command their dogs, guiding them to stay at their side, respond instantly to voice commands, and enjoy off-leash freedom at the park—all while maintaining perfect control.

This program delivers real results, and you can achieve the same level of control and confidence with your dogs. Whether you’re integrating one new dog or managing a multi-dog household, Outstanding K9 can help you overcome challenges and create a well-balanced, well-trained pack—just like Alex and Sev did.

In Loving Memory of Lola & Rico The Delgado Family

From Unruly to Canine Good Citizens

When the Delgado family reached out to us, Lola and Rico were full of energy but struggled with obedience and impulse control. After completing our Advanced Off-Leash Obedience Program, they transformed into the well-mannered, responsive companions you see in this photo.

I still remember April and Rolando telling me this was the first time they could take a full family picture with the dogs included—something that once felt impossible. Thanks to their dedication, Lola and Rico became not just well-trained dogs, but truly cherished members of their family.

They may no longer be with us, but their legacy of love and loyalty will always live on.

“We couldn’t be more grateful for Ahmed and his help turning our unruly dogs into Canine Good Citizens. He is always a pleasure to work with—extremely professional and truly a dog whisperer. Thank you, Ahmed!” – April D.

My wife and I rescued Moxie, an American Bully, from a shelter. When we first brought her home, she was anxious, afraid to go outside, and reactive toward other animals. Ahmed worked closely with us to develop a training plan tailored to her specific needs. We focused on building her confidence first before progressing to obedience and eventually off-leash training. As new behavioral challenges came up during her first six months with us, Ahmed helped us address each one with practical, effective guidance. Today, Moxie enjoys being outdoors, is comfortable around other dogs, and is fun to walk both on and off leash. Her recall is excellent, and the confidence she has gained has completely changed her quality of life. Just as importantly, the training strengthened the relationship between Moxie and our family. She has become family, and we enjoy spending time with her every day.

We have a very smart and reactive dog. Ahmed has been great at coaching my husband and I on how to correct negative behavior and reinforce good behavior for the dog. He is fantastic at reading the dogs/situation and giving us guidance. He provides an ongoing relationship that makes us feel comfortable with texting questions as they come up.

We had an absolutely outstanding experience with Ahmed at Outstanding K9! From the very beginning, it was clear that he genuinely cared about Cowboy and wanted to help him become the best dog he could be. Ahmed was patient, professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to understand Cowboy’s personality instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach. Cowboy is doing great and has made incredible progress. He listens better, has improved obedience, is easier to handle, and we feel much more confident taking him out in public and including him in our everyday lives. Cowboy truly is the best dog, and Ahmed helped bring out the very best in him. Ahmed also made sure we understood how to continue reinforcing everything at home. You can tell he truly loves what he does and takes pride in helping both dogs and their owners succeed. We are extremely grateful for the time, effort, and care Ahmed put into Cowboy. I highly recommend Ahmed and Outstanding K9 to anyone looking for reliable, effective, and professional dog training. We could not be happier with the results!

I consulted three trainers before Ahmed regarding fights between our older dog and the young adult German Shepherd we had adopted. All three trainers said our German shepherd hadn’t been properly socialized as a puppy and blamed him for the fights. Two of them suggested he needed to be an only dog and recommended rehoming him. We were very lucky that one of my husband’s coworkers recommended Ahmed when he heard about our problem. Ahmed came out for an initial consultation, and it was nothing short of amazing. He observed our dogs for about ten minutes, and he told us that our older dog was the problem. He pointed out her aggressive body language and told me how to correct her. From that session, the two dogs never fought again and after a few months they were actually buddies. We were fortunate to keep both dogs for the rest of their lives. Since then, I’ve recommended Ahmed and Outstanding K9 to every person I meet who needs a dog trainer. He’s the real deal. He correctly diagnosed and quickly solved a behavior problem that three other trainers declared unsolvable. Thanks to Ahmed, I got 9 more years with the best dog I’ve ever had.

100% beyond worth it!!! The best part is the quality of life we’re able to give Bambi now that she is a trained dog. Wonderfully behaved in the home, goes everywhere with us, never needs to be on a leash, wonderful with kids, cats, etc. She loved being at Ahmed’s home and loves his family. So grateful for the people that put me in contact with this trainer!!!! Has drastically improved our lives together. Will do this every time with every new dog we get for our family in the future. I have seen her confidence improve so much through the process. Can’t recommend enough.

I was afraid I'd made a big mistake adopting my Bulldog/Pyrenees mix from the shelter. She turned out to be still very much a puppy and totally untrained. Luckily, I found Outstanding K9! Ahmed worked with her and performed miracles! My dog now listens to me and is a great companion. Ahmed's style and calm reassurance were just what my dog and I both needed! Thank you Outstanding K9!

Ahmed from Outstanding K9 is the best! He is so knowledgeable, professional, and caring about the dogs. I was super anxious with my lab, because she has a ton of energy, big, and was getting into everything. He was recommended to me from a friend. After training (her and me), I have more confidence in ensuring she will always listen to me. I would never recommend anyone else!

We had a wonderful experience with Outstanding K9. We were looking for a dog trainer for our overly friendly young adult dog. She doesn’t know a stranger and got herself into sticky situations as such. Ahmed worked well with us setting training goals, explaining the process, while encouraging our pup’s personality that we love so much. He was professional, courteous, timely, and personable. We appreciated how thorough he explained his training methods in relation to the end goal. He came highly recommended to us by our vet, and we in turn would highly recommend him after our experience.

Outstanding K9 is the best! Ahmed is amazing! I was scared to death when we got our first Rottweiler! My husband really wanted one. Our first Rottweiler Xena had some issues. The vet couldn’t examine her and the wanted to put her to under just to cut her nails. I was scared to walk her. Ahmed help us fix all of that!!! Xena became the best dog I ever owned only because of Ahmed. So we had him come back and train our Zoey and Lou. Lou had issues being overprotective of our grandchildren it was miserable for all of us! Can I tell you thanks to Ahmed they come over all the time now and it’s so enjoyable now! We did the off leash training which I highly recommend. For any dog training needs call Outstanding K9! I promise you won’t be disappointed and so glad you did! We are!
