Cooperhaus K9

Could not be more pleased!!! We brought our 4−½ month old Amstaff (pitty) puppy to Cooperhaus because she was out of control (she wouldn’t listen, pulled hard on leash, jumped on people, wouldn’t sit still, NOT potty trained at all!). Six weeks later — completely different puppy!!! We can literally take her anywhere. Where ever we go the first thing people say is «WOW your puppy is so obedient» and then they follow up with just how adorable she is!!. I can put her on a «down stay» for an hour and she won’t budge! Fully potty trained!!! We’re so happy and impressed that we literally just dropped off our sons 2 year old lab two days ago for the four week program to teach him some manners! Honestly could not be happier!!!

This is was our last resort for our dog Chevy who was highly aggressive towards people and dogs. We were the 4^th owners to this beautiful 1 year old Shepard, Greyhound, American Stafford Terrier. My husband and i refused to give up on her like everyone else did, but we know we had to do something as we are expecting our first child. We decided to leave her with Brent and his staff for the training and boarding as we wanted her to get the best training and not be distracted by anything or anyone else.
Im not going to lie i texted and called Brent about 25 times before i even dropped her off. This was or first fur baby and i feared the worst as no one could help us and we would be told the worst. The day came that we took her to Brent to drop her off. We walked down where there was tons of people and dogs and she was going crazy. All she wanted to do was to attack everything and anything in sight. There was a part of me that was embarrassed by my dogs behavior even though it had nothing to do with us. I started to cry when Brent came over to take her. Not being with her for so many weeks was going to be rough.
Brent sent me pictures and videos and kept in touch with us and letting us know her progress. The day came where we got to pick up our fur baby Chevy. We sat down and watched our baby be around other dogs and people. She listened to all Brents commands. Then it came to us doing the same thing. Though we had some training to do on our own and learn how to deal with her it was the most amazing thing. We had a new dog.
We still have work to do and continue to do training and make progress everyday. We can now have people over and go on walks, she is great with kids and is doing very well with other animals. We are so grateful for everything that Brent and his family have done for us. I hope that others read this that are in my situation and remember never to give up because people like Brent and the rest of the staff are amazing at what they do. I can’t say enough about Cooperhaus K9. Thank you so much again for helping our Chevy girl.

They are the absolute best training of this type in the Greater Bay Area. Period. We drive three German Shepherds from Monterey Every … Darn… Weekend. It’s worth every drop of expensive gas and time. They train YOU to expertly handle your dog.
We have closer trainers, but Brent and crew are unparalleled.

I absolutely love taking my German shepherd to Brent! Hands down the most respectable guy. He really got through to my Dog and it’s seriously been a great change. Every time someone asks for a good pet trainer I always refer them to Cooperhaus. I continue to go to group lessons every week which I highly recommend.

We are very happy and very satisfied with the kind of work they do here at Cooperhaus K9! They are open to work with all the different breeds of dogs and different temperaments (difficult or easy– it doesn’t matter). They have the knowledge to deal with all kinds of issues. I am very satisfied with the kind of work they did with our German Shephard: Lucky. Thanks to Calvin and his son! Keep it up and God bless you and your family!

I have brought all 3 of my dogs here and I have always been satisfied with the results. Brent has not just trained my dogs but me as well. He’s helped with some difficult issues which has made our lives much easier. I have large breed dogs (Cane Corso’s) and it’s important for them to be well trained and under control. Thanks Brent and Calvin for all your help and support.

I’m a very tough consumer and am very critical when making any big purchase. I have been shopping for a protection dog/​family companions for 6 moths and met with many breeders and trainers. After visiting many breeders /​trainers, I always felt it was a business with these individuals and never felt comfortable with purchasing a dog from them. I finally discovered Cooperhaus K9. I met with Brent Cooperhaus who showed me three amazing dogs. Brent is very knowledgeable, patient, and understanding person. He helped me choose a great dog «Bullet». Our family is very thankful for Brent. Bullet is an awesome dog. He had great obedience training and protection training. Bullet exceeded our expectations and is a great protection dog and even more important a great family pet. If you are a novice in the canine world and if your looking at getting a protection dog talk with Brent before you make your decision. Cooperhaus K9 will exceed your expectations. I will be getting another dog hopefully next year from Cooperhaus K9.
Thanks Cooperhaus K9

AMAZING PLACE! I took my black GSD to another dog training facility for 10 sessions, and was seeing no progress. Naturally feeling frustrated, and not understanding since I was a new GSD owner, how imperative it is to have a specific type of training for them. I went to ONE session on the recommendation of someone who already went to Brent, and immediately noticed an amazing difference. She is now the dog that I was hoping she could be. If you are feeling frustrated with your dog’s behavior, it’s not their fault, it simply means they need proper structure, which is what they get here!

I grew up with cats. When I got married we adopted a dog. Turns out she is a strong-​willed dog that takes a bit – or a lot – more work. With the help of Brent, I have gained confidence and valuable lifetime information to be a good dog owner with any dog I shall adopt. I believe any dog and owner would benefit greatly from Cooperhaus Training.
Thank you Brent!

Just felt it necessary in this age of the internet that I write to express a complete endorsement of Brent, his family and team. From training our GSD puppy (now 2.5yrs old) to boarding him for a week or two when we go on vacation, these guys are awesome. Competence is the best word to describe Brent and his family. Just great people. Our dog is so well behaved and deals with each situation he is in with such confidence. If you want real results, regardless of the breed, need help with developing a young dog, dealing with a problem adult dog, or need a place to board your dog, Copperhaus K9 is your answer.

I have been taking my German Shepherd to Brent for Intermediate obedience training. The facility is gorgeous and the training is very professional. I have a lot of respect for their techniques and overall knowledge. I highly recommend.

Brent is a life saver (my dog’s life). Two trainers and 5 other people told me to put down my rescued American bulldog mix for aggression issues. Immediately Brent saw how insecure he was and helped me to get to the bottom of the problem — fear caused by noise, new places, new people/​dogs, etc. The dog has made amazing progress and within 5 weeks, I can now walk him on leash without him lunging or grabbing towards a person or dog walking by. His techniques are not like most others who claim to work with aggressive dogs, but they work! He is clearly the dog whisperer, not named Cesar. Thanks Brent!

Brent is great & achieved almost instant results with our dogs. Still more work for us to do, but he has given us an excellent start to having happy well behaved dogs. Highly recommended.

Best dog trainer I’ve seen not named Cesar Milan. We took our puppy here and made a huge difference even after the first class. Specialist in German Shepherds. Even can do protection work but we just do general obedience to make a family dog. It’s worth cost.

Hey all! Got a beautiful Gsd puppy from the shelter and took him here for training! It’s only been his 3^rd class and I have seen massive improvements in attitude obedience and just over all well being of my puppy. Brent had done a wonderful job teaching and explaining what we need to do and how to correct bad behavior. I would definitely recommend you to bring your dog here to be trained the right way. It’s not like petsmart where they try to sell you everything under the sun but good solid training for a healthy and we’ll trained dog for years to come!

Completed my 5 week training program with my German Shepard. Unbelievable where did my old dog go. Money well spent. Brent and Family 5 STARS to you well done and such a beautiful training facility with views of the entire Santa Clara County. I’ll be be doing second phase training with you again. Need a dog you can also purchase a full trained dog to protect your family. Thank You again Brent.

Brent and his team are awesome! I wish I can give them 10 stars! My dog (Sake) and I have been training with Cooperhaus for about 3 years and we couldn’t be happier. Before working with Cooperhaus I did my research and Brent’s team came highly recommended from the German Shepherd Group of the bay area. We started with the puppy training group, then worked our way up to the advance class, and we are now doing protection work on the weekends. I have had numerous dog owners approach me at the park because they were impressed with my dog’s obedience, and some of them are currently training with Cooperhaus now. Training our German Shepherd with Cooperhaus is the best thing we have done for our four legged friend! If you are in here because you are looking for a dog training, give Brent a call, you will not be disappointed,

Brent and his crew trained our German Shepherd for protection when she was a puppy several years ago. While all the other dogs in training charged out to challenge would-​be threats, ours would run over to lay down under my lawn chair. The other owners, including many in law enforcement, pitied us, with some wondering aloud if our dog would ever be more than be «just a pet.»
Brent never gave up. Eventually, our dog could execute all protection maneuvers, although without the heart of others. Recently, however, our dog has been challenging threatening strangers like a true protection dog — without biting or ignoring my command to cease and desist. Brent’s training has made our dog — an apparent «gamer» who slogs through practice but shows up fully engaged when it counts — into the fierce but obedient protector we had always hoped for.
Thanks, Cooperhaus!

I bought my German shepherd from cooperhaus back in 2000. She passed away on may 20,2013.
She was an amazing dog. I would highly recommend getting a dog from them.
We are going to get another shepherd and are looking forward to getting him/​her from cooperhaus.

My German shepherd is taking protection training and obedience with Brent and Calvin. I love that this a family run business for over 40 years!
I’m very impressed and I am looking forward to working Bella.
