Andrew & Sam are stellar! Riot was your typical anxious Belgian Malinois with lots of pent up energy. He cleaned her Riot up and helped us give her even more freedom. She is more confident then she has ever been. I've met a lot of trainers in my time working in Veterinary Medicine and he's top notch all my future dogs will definitely be coming to him from the start.

Our six-month old Labrador Retriever, Rose, just returned from Precision Canine’s Puppy Jump Start class with Andrew. We would highly recommend Precision Canine based on the incredible results we saw in Rose after just five days. Each evening we would receive a video from Andrew’s wife, Sam, with highlights from that day’s training. Not only were we able to watch Rose’s amazing daily progress, but we could also see first-hand Andrew’s connection and positive interaction with Rose. Andrew was able to take a rambunctious puppy and give her focus and some very important skills, including socialization with dogs and people, as well as first steps to obedience training. Rose will continue her training with Andrew in September. We look forward to seeing her continued progress. Thank you, Andrew and Sam!

We thought at 5yrs old our dog, Winston, would be to old to train. But Andrew with his techniques and training was able to help us and our dog have more enjoyable walks (no barking and pulling towards other dogs and people) and Winston now obeys all the commands we use daily. It has made our household a lot more peaceful and calm. It's like a miracle has been made. Winston is a completely different dog. So much more fun and enjoyable to be with that we do not mind taking him everywhere with us now. Andrew gave excellent care of Winston while under his watch, kept us updated on Winston's progress through email, text, and videos. Winston always seemed happy in the videos. I would HIGHLY recommend using Andrew with Precision Canine to train your dog. You will have no regrets and be so thankful of the outcome. It was definitely worth every penny spent for Winton's training. Shout out to Sam, his wife, for the videos and helping Winston as well.

Recommended Certifications for Dog Trainers


When choosing a dog trainer, professional certifications are a strong indicator of expertise, experience, and commitment to ethical, science-based methods. Widely recognized credentials include the CPDT-KA or CPDT-KSA from the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers, which demonstrate mastery of modern training techniques, canine behavior, and learning theory. The KPA-CTP (Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner) highlights trainers skilled in positive reinforcement and clicker training, while the IAABC Certified Dog Trainer credential, recognized internationally, signals advanced knowledge in behavior modification and problem-solving. Membership or certification through the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT) further reflects ongoing education and adherence to ethical standards. Many trainers also pursue specialty certifications in areas such as aggression management, behavior modification, or puppy development to address specific challenges.


For pet parents, choosing a certified trainer like Andrew Kasecamp, ensures that your dog’s training is grounded in science, safety, and compassion. Asking about a trainer’s credentials is one of the best ways to make a confident, informed choice.
