For German Shepherd Dogs and other breeds, K-9 Specialists sets high standards for both the behavior of dogs and their owners, but at their core, K-9 Specialists believes that building the “bond” between the dog and owner is of the upmost importance. While we are experts in German shepherd dogs, we truly understand all Canines.
Dog training is more then expecting results, it’s about building a relationship of trust, consistency, kindness, and positive reinforcement. Once a dog completely trusts out of complete confidence, there is nothing a dog wouldn’t do for his best friend, including giving his life.
From potty training to IPO 3 training, K-9 Specialists seeks to bridge the relationship between dog and handler so that anything is possible. Located on 20+ lush acres in Ocala, FL we are convenient to Tampa, Orlando, Ft. Lauderdale, Hollywood, Boca Raton, and serve as far north as to Jacksonville and south to Miami.
This is the masterpiece of man’s best friend. With a history of working with the best European Bloodlines, K-9 Specialists are proud to offer the best of Family Protection Dogs.
Every dog, just like every person, is different and unique. It’s very important that the right dog goes to the right handler, and that’s why it’s so important for us to get to know and listen to our clients.
Also, communication doesn’t end at the purchase time. We at K-9 Specialists are ALWAYS available for YOU and the DOG.

We had a German Shepherd, to say she was loved is an understatement. Two years ago, at the age of 14, she passed away. We went back and forth about getting another dog, I was hesitant. Truth be told, we missed the companionship and security of a dog.
Our requirements were, a trained Sable Shepherd 1-3 years old, family oriented and loving. In addition, it was important that the dog was trained to protect should that situation ever arise.
The online search spanned country wide. We interviewed and dug deep into, many breeders. We learned a lot, including red flags. They ALL left us with a ``gut feeling`` that something wasn't quite right. We then found Libor/K-9 Specialists. We knew immediately our search was over. In communicating with many breeders, NONE were more genuine, passionate and knowledgeable than Libor. What struck us, along with responding to an email via email, he also called us. Libor spent so much time talking with us and learning our needs. He didn't owe us anything, we were looking, nothing more. He suggested 15 month old Ryker, told us about him then sent pictures. At the risk of sounding silly, we fell in love with Ryker immediately. He then sent videos of Ryker during different training and family life situations. We have a small dog, the concern was them getting along. A few days later Libor had a video of Ryker hanging out with a small dog. I cannot stress enough how communicative Libor was during our search. That alone was a rarity.
We decided to move forward with purchasing Ryker. Big decision, we were in different states, sending money to someone we didn't know, yet not a flinch of hesitation. A flawless experience. Ryker being 15 months old, we wanted the transition to be just as seamless for him. Libor provided a list and links to things Ryker was accustomed, balls, food, collar etc.
Now to the day Ryker came home to present. For a smooth transition we asked Libor to accompany Ryker. So now we've not only met Ryker, we've also met Libor. You will feel that you've known Libor for years! Kind, professional, wealth of knowledge and a passion that is contagious. We genuinely enjoyed his company! Finally, let's talk about Ryker! Words cannot express how wonderful Ryker has been since day one. Clearly he was VERY well bred and trained. I wish I could have met Petr and his son, we see their talent every day in Ryker's behavior. One thing Libor taught us, it's the most important part of having a great experience. Listen to and follow through, daily, with how YOU are taught to handle your dog. Keep in mind, this review is from a few months experience, not just the first few days of excitement over a new dog. Ryker thoroughly exceeded our expectations. He is loving, alert at all times, makes his presence known when there is someone unfamiliar, when it is time for his kennel he walks right in, quietly, without struggle. Ryker is stunning, everyone who meets him are taken back, he has a physical presence that almost demands your attention, he is simply a beautiful animal.
Next step was having our Vet look him over. The vet we've used for years happens to be a life long German Shepherd owner, even placing some of his Shepherds in shows. He was very impressed and commented on Ryker's wonderful disposition. You will see one of the pictures posted, labeled ``Handsome``, a nickname directly from our Vet. He concluded with a perfect bill of health and many compliments.
In closing, we could not be happier, Ryker is perfect, the entire experience was perfect. We HIGHLY and GENUINELY RECOMMEND K-9 Specialists. We would be happy to speak with or email with anyone regarding our experience.
Thank You Libor and K-9 Specialists!”
“We are extremely happy with K-9 Specialists! We spent a year researching and talking to different breeders/trainers to find the perfect GSD. We determined that it would be better for us to find a trained dog, as opposed to a puppy or rescue. We are dog lovers, not dog trainers.
After months of phone and email communication with Libor (and a visit to his Ocala property), we knew we were at the right place. We opted to pay a bit more to have Libor deliver Hokky to us in NC. He spent 2 nights with us to get us all on the right track. Libor showed us how to introduce Hokky to all of the neighbor's dogs. He even spent 20 minutes with the neighbor and her dog to help with some bad habits. And for the record, every single little dog on the street barked at Hokky, and she was amazing. She is the sweetest dog.
Having Libor spend some time with us was great because questions came up that he quickly provided solutions for. After Libor left, I had a few training questions come up and he was extremely responsive to my texts.
After 6 weeks, we are proud to have Hokky in our family. The neighbors love her, the UPS man loves her, the deer who visit our property love her (well they have an understanding), and we love her!
Great job K9 Specialists!”
After a couple weeks they had us come to do some on-site training with him and visit. We were blown away by the progress he had already made . Upon pick up we had a training session offsite and the difference in our dogs etiquette, recall and behavior was unbelievable!
We cannot thank K9 Specialist enough, and if you are looking for professionals, who will care for your dog like their own while being able to consistently execute real training for your dog then look no further ! We are so impressed and pleased we have signed him up for a second phase of training ! They are worth the investment and every penny!
We completed another round of training for off leash !
Once again we are completely blown away by how much he has progressed and Petr's ability/knowledge to get him where he needs to be! Vader has had 2 rounds of training in 11 months and we could not be happier with the results! This is the only place we trust and will bring our much loved GSD !”
They made sure before dropping him off at the puppy course we knew what to expect and thoroughly went over everything with us making sure we were comfortable. During the 5 weeks they maintained constant contact with us sending us progress videos, updates and text.
They took amazing care of him like he was one of their own and we could see how much he had come to adore his trainer, Petr .
