5 Star K9 Trainer

5 Star K9 Trainer is a Davie-based dog training business owned by Blas L. Cardenas, who describes himself as a dog psychologist and canine behavioral specialist. He serves families across Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties, and his work centers on what he calls heavy-duty rehab. Instead of only teaching commands, he connects with a dog's mind and natural instincts to correct unwanted behavior at its source.

Blas often finds the issue is not just the dog. His sessions teach owners how their own habits shape behavior, so the household can keep progress going after training ends. He takes a balanced approach and works with all breeds on aggression, biting, destructive behavior, soiling, jumping, pulling, boundary issues, housebreaking, and on- and off-leash skills. He also offers service dog training and general professional obedience. Each new client starts with a free phone consultation, where Blas builds an action plan for the dog and family.

Reviews describe senior dogs that walk better on leash and stop reacting to the doorbell, as well as experienced owners who appreciated being coached through difficult behavior. The company has trained dogs for hundreds of South Florida families. Owners can call to schedule a consultation or follow 5 Star K9 Trainer on Instagram and Facebook for training clips.
