Dog training in Southwest Las Vegas, NV
The southwest valley, Enterprise, Spring Valley, Mountain’s Edge, Southern Highlands, Rhodes Ranch, is a straight shot from Henderson on the 215 and home to thousands of dogs in master-planned communities with shared parks and firm HOA rules.
The K-9 Handler® trains southwest-valley dogs at home first, then on the community trails and at the parks where the distractions are. Owners learn the same verbal, praise-based system so the results last long after the sessions end.

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.”
