Dog training in Lake Las Vegas, Henderson, NV
Lake Las Vegas is a short drive from The K-9 Handler’s Henderson base and a different training environment altogether: resort paths, waterfront patios, golf-course communities and long quiet drives where a dog needs impeccable manners around people and wildlife.
Sessions are private and at your residence, moving out to the village paths and lake trails as your dog progresses. Service dog and therapy dog teams get their public-access work in the resort setting as well as in town.

Testimonials
Owners in Henderson and Las Vegas
“Ira was terrific with our 8 year old Shih Tzu. I wanted a refresher course and he provided what she needed and also provided a good refresher for me plus new things I needed to know. He can be gentle yet firm with an older dog like mine but yet adapt to any other dog’s specific situation. I definitely will refer people I come in contact with that need a dog trainer to The K-9 Handler!”
“Thank you so much for your training for Michael McGee my Pug companion. He has gone from a perfect pet to a close to perfect Service Dog. Just a few more commands until his certification. I searched high and low to find a trainer qualified to train a Service Dog. Ira Smith has trained Michael and also this human (yes, owners also get trained to the correct way to work the dog and acquire the skills necessary). I am proud to take Michael everywhere I go. His behavior is awesome and Ira has capitalized on Michael’s willingness to please in a profound way. If you are looking for a fabulous and certified trainer look no further. You found him.”
