What Makes Our Training Different

Our private dog training programs are held at our facility and focus on clear communication, consistency, and accountability. Training is designed to work in real life, not just during sessions.

We coach both you and your dog so you understand how to maintain results long after training ends. This approach creates confident handlers and dependable dogs.

Meet The Trainer

Black Beard K9 is owned and operated by Frank.

Frank’s background comes from the working and competition dog world, where structure, engagement, and clear communication are essential. While not every dog is a sport dog, the principles behind that training translate directly to calmer behavior and better communication in everyday life.

Frank is direct, honest, and focused on making sure clients understand not just what to do, but why it works. The goal is simple. Give handlers the skills to move forward confidently with their dog long after training ends.

What our clients say

  • "Frank didn’t just train my puppy, he also took the time to teach me how to train my dog. I’m currently working on off-leash training with Georgie. Even though our formal sessions are complete, Frank continues to be available for questions and support. He’s even invited us back to his facility for refresher sessions at no charge.

    -Erin D.

  • “Being a Schnauzer mom is not for the weak, that being said, finding someone that is really familiar with the breed was amazing!. Not only did my tiny terror learned and grow, as a pet owner, Frank helped me understand why Winston did things and his behaviors. He assisted me in growing a deeper bond and trust with Winston... I will continue to work with Frank and his team anytime!"

    -Nancy A.

  • “We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Frank. From the very first session, Frank was knowledgeable, and incredibly kind—both with us and our dog. The 1 on 1 sessions were exactly what we needed, and really helped us fine tune who Luna (our dog) is and what she needs from us, and what we need to do for her. We highly recommend Frank to anyone looking for a trainer who truly cares about dogs and their owners."

    -Caitlin S.

  • "Frank is amazing. He really “gets” dogs …especially mine. I went to Frank nervous and anxious with a dog who is the same (basically feeling my emotions). Frank has taught me confidence and that I could give my dog structure without making him fearful of correction and knowing he still has all my love and affection. I learn something from Frank with every session. He is knowledgeable, funny, friendly, sweet and kind on top of knowing his trade more than anyone I’ve come across."

    - C Conley

  • "Before working with Frank at Black Beard Canine, my dog's recall was unreliable, to say the least. Frank's methods were incredibly effective and he taught me how to communicate with my dog in a way that made sense to both of us. The training sessions were tailored to the specific goals I had for my dog and I, which made a huge difference. He also made sure I understood the underlying principles of dog behavior, which empowered me to continue reinforcing the training on my own."

    -Abby L.
