Today we experienced an unbelievable demonstration of knowledge and experience. Felix showed my family how to give commands and control a fully grown Shepherd that my sister-in-law recently adopted. He took time from his weekend to allow a very stressed out dog to relax! Thank you Felix and Ramiro for making this happen in such short notice!
This training academy was just awesome. Ramiro was a great instructor and very knowledgeable about what he was teaching. I recommend Jireh K-9 to anyone who is looking for a K-9 academy. Great place.
I have been in the animal industry over 40 years, and this is hands-down some of the best training I’ve ever seen. No charades, no gimmicks, just leading humans in their thinking to better understand their K9 counterpart and form a team.
Ramiro Guzman is an amazing trainer, and puts his most into these working dogs and making sure that you are developing as a handler in training. Overall I feel that he is one of the best there is to do it! My k9 and training I’ve received from has carried our team!
The owner and instructors are top-notch and the quality of training is second to none.

JIREH K9 Training Academy has truly set the gold standard for law enforcement canine training. From day one, it's clear that their focus is on creating highly skilled and reliable K9 units. The instructors bring a wealth of real-world experience, which translates into training scenarios that are incredibly realistic and challenging. They don't just teach the basics; they instill a deep understanding of canine behavior and how to effectively handle a K9 in high-pressure situations. The academy's facilities are top-notch, providing everything needed to develop a well-rounded K9 team. The training grounds are meticulously maintained and offer a variety of environments to simulate real-world deployments. What stands out is their commitment to staying current with the latest techniques and technologies in K9 training. They continuously adapt their methods to address emerging threats and ensure that their graduates are prepared for anything they might encounter on the streets. Beyond the technical skills, JIREH K9 emphasizes the importance of the bond between handler and dog. They understand that a strong relationship is the foundation of a successful K9 unit. The academy fosters this bond through hands-on training that requires constant communication and teamwork. As a result, graduates leave not only with highly trained dogs but also with a deep sense of trust and partnership that is essential for effective law enforcement. JIREH K9 Training Academy is, without a doubt, a premier institution for law enforcement canine training. I highly recommend any agency to come and train here.
