Dog Trainer Reviews
Our training and coaching makes training and living with your dog rewarding and fun.
Welcome to Quality K-9, where passion for dogs meets unparalleled expertise in
dog training. Nestled near the idyllic Prescott Valley in Arizona, our facility stretches over 3.5 lush acres, providing ample space for dogs to learn, play, and thrive. Prescott’s charm doesn’t just lie in its breathtaking landscapes; it’s a haven for dog lovers. With its dog-friendly ethos, you can bring your canine companions almost anywhere, making socialization a breeze. Plus, our temperate weather ensures training sessions are comfortable year-round, a stark contrast to the sweltering heat of Phoenix.
At the helm of Quality K-9 is Tino Reinke, our esteemed owner and head trainer. Tino isn’t just any trainer; he’s a luminary in the field with over 30 years of rich experience shaping both canines and their human counterparts. His background is as impressive as it is diverse, with a solid foundation in military and police dog training that underscores his profound understanding of discipline, loyalty, and the profound bond between dogs and their handlers.
Tino’s journey in the dog training realm has taken him across the globe, where he’s honed his skills alongside some of the world’s most renowned trainers. This international exposure has not only enriched his training methodologies, but has also imbued him with a unique perspective that he brings to every training session at Quality K-9.
In an industry where many claim to have trained thousands of dogs, Tino stands apart. His claim is not just credible; it’s backed by a trail of successful transformations and rehabilitations of canines, spanning various disciplines. From pet dog training that fosters a harmonious living with your furry friend, to specialized training in personal protection and sport dog training, Tino’s expertise is all-encompassing.
Joining Tino in leading Quality K-9 is Angelika Clark, our dedicated General Manager and an experienced dog trainer in her own right. With over 30 years of experience, Angelika brings a wealth of knowledge to our team, especially in high-level competition dog training. As an AKC-CGC Evaluator, her standards of excellence are unparalleled. Born and raised in Germany, Angelika’s training philosophy has been shaped by the world-class dog trainers she’s worked and learned from across the globe. Her approach to dog training, particularly in obedience, is heavily influenced by motivational methods, ensuring that training is not only effective but also a positive experience for both dog and handler.
Enhancing our team’s dynamic expertise is Jamie Smith, PhD, a distinguished Dog Behaviorist and trainer. Jamie’s academic credentials are as impressive as they are relevant; holding a Bachelor’s in Psychology and Biology, a Master’s in Holistic Care, and a Doctorate in Animal Naturopathy. Jamie is also a certified Canine Fitness Instructor/Evaluator, bringing over 20 years of experience to Quality K-9. Her holistic approach to dog training and behavior modification, grounded in a deep understanding of animal health and psychology, complements our team’s diverse skill set, ensuring a well-rounded training program that addresses the physical, emotional, and psychological needs of our canine clients.
Residents of the Southwest and beyond, you’re in luck. Having Tino Reinke, Angelika Clark, and Jamie Smith within reach is a privilege that transcends distance. Their exceptional skill sets, coupled with a genuine love for dogs, make Quality K-9 the quintessential choice for anyone serious about providing their dogs with the best training available.

Theory and Practice
Dog Training Characteristics
A little dog training theory…
The experiences you and your dog share in life create lasting memories and shape your bond forever, whether they are good or bad. While humans may be more forgiving of negative experiences, the same cannot always be said for our canine companions. Dogs tend to rely on their earliest experiences and learned behaviors, making early training crucial in laying a strong behavioral foundation.
However, it’s never too late to start training; it just requires a bit more patience and understanding. Sometimes, it is the journey towards improvement that fosters the strongest relationships between dogs and their owners.
Embarking on a successful dog training journey involves understanding the principles of dog training and finding the right approach that suits both you and your furry friend.
By selecting training methods that align with your values and objectives, you can create a positive and rewarding training experience that benefits your dog’s well-being and behavior.
Remember, the key to a successful training journey lies in finding the perfect match that resonates with you and your dog’s needs and preferences.
