"So the kids are grown and gone...I guess the only challenge left for a 30 year marriage is to adopt one of the highest energy/drive pups on the planet. After a lot of research we visited Torri and his Spartan K-9 facility. Having worked a German Shephard during a law enforcement career, I had a long list of deal breaking requirements, well beyond what I was looking for in the dog. What we found was a clean, organized, professional and healthy facility. We found clean, healthy, well loved pups already being introduced to appropriate commands and behaviors. Torri answered an onslaught of questions and provided us with a relaxed setting in which to meet and make a selection from all the pups (or more accurately, for us to be selected BY one of the pups). We later learned he also supports Veterans by providing dogs to those in need. Huge shout-out for that, brother.
Following adoption of our new little bundle of joy and election of a training package, we experienced an amazing level of support and insight. Torri's calm, confident approach to working with the owners and the dogs is both constant and remarkable. I see it in the exceptional behavior and manners of every Torri trained dog I've met. And the pups love him!
Our pup (Mieke) is now days shy of her 1st birthday, which she will celebrate with Torri while we travel for a family wedding. She is sweet, attentive, social, insanely capable and well behaved in all public venues due to his support and guidance. Torri, thank you my Marine brother for everything. You provided an amazing pup and have made training her seem like a walk in the park."

"I can’t say enough wonderful things about Torri’s (Spartan Protection Services) dog training skills. We got our first GSD/Belgian Malinois hybrid from him. I was hesitant about having a big dog because I’d only had small dogs up until we got our dog, Rommel. Torri kept Rommel with him to train him with protection and obedience skills until he was about 6 months old. During that time, he was diligent to keep in contact with us about how his training was progressing by sending videos, pictures, and text messages. We met Rommel when he was a baby, and we got to visit with him along the way of his training so he would know who we were when it was time for him to transition to our home. We had four young children at the time and we live on acreage, so having a gentle, obedience and protection trained big dog was a must, and Rommel was just that! When it was time to transition Rommel to our home for good, Torri made sure the process was so smooth. He thoroughly taught us how to handle him, use his commands, and showed us how to maintain his skills. Torri went above and beyond to help us, and we are forever grateful! Everyone who comes over now wants a “Rommel dog”. He’s an awesome addition to our family!"

"The change in my German Shepherd has been amazing and we’ve only met 3 times so far. Gracie had gotten so out of control I had given up walking her. We’re now running together again. I have my best friend back!! THANK YOU!!"

"Torri is wonderful. makes training easy and understandable. He is always there when you need to reach out with questions or need suggestions. He teaches you to be calm and give proper corrections and praise. I could not ask for a better trainer."
