Testimonials
Stuart and Sarah Crapps
I contactd Decator Marble because our 7 month old Boxer ,"Doc", was completly out of control. He was biting, jumping all over me, my wife and anyone that came around. Both of our arms looked as though we had been attacked with a knife. He was so strong, it was impossinle to walk with him. He was walking, (pulling) us around like we were rag dolls. Decator came to our home for the inital visit. After just one session, we could see the obedience starting to surface. After a few sessions, Decator had Doc walking "with manners" and obeying. Our neighbors think that Doc is so well behaved. Thank-you Decator for giving us the gift of a "man's best friend." that's the heart of our family. Stuart and Sarah Crapps

I initially contacted Decator Marble because our 11 month old German Shepherd Zeeva had attacked our beagle mix a few times. The last attack was violent and drew blood from our beagle. That same night, Zeeva charged one of our female neighbors for no apparent reason. I was afraid that our beloved dog was becoming aggressive. I believed her personality changed after my husband deployed to Afghanistan, they were very close. I e-mailed Decator at 11:00 p.m.that night and by 9:00 a.m. the next morning he called me. He listened to my concerns in detail and asked me to bring Zeeva to the park for an evaluation.
Decator and our dog Zeeva met that morning. After a few minutes, Zeeva was responding well to all of his commands. The best part of the evaluation was that Decator taught me why Zeeva became aggressive towards our dog and neighbor. Decator walked towards me in a fast threatening way and Zeeva became very "aggressive" towards him, barking and trying to charge at him. Decator explained when our neighbor was running up the stairs as we were coming down, Zeeva barked and lunged towards her trying to protect me. As for Zeeva attacking our Beagle, he explained that when Jason was home, he was the pack leader of the house and Zeeva responded well. After my husband deployed, Zeeva wanted to become the pack leader with our dogs and myself. Decator taught me how to walk my dog with confidence that nothing will happen as long as I am the pack leader. If I have fear, the dog will sense it. Decator told me my dog needs socialization with people and other dogs which was evident when he introduced Zeeva to his German Shepherd. Zeeva's tail was tucked and afraid meeting the new dog.
Today, Zeeva and I had our first training with Decator. She did so well. After we left the park, I took Zeeva to a busy shopping area. I walked her with the leash just as Decator instructed. I would stop several times and Zeeva would sit next to me and stay. Zeeva did not pull on the leash once nor did she bark at anyone. People were impressed at how well behaved our dog is. I can't wait for training tomorrow.
I am so glad I chose Blitz K9 for our dog. I truly believe Zeeva will excel in all her training and my husband will be so impressed when he comes home from Afghanistan.

When we came to Blitz K9, our GSD Tucker would not heel or pay any attention to us when we were outside. Now, barely two weeks later, he walks right by your side and pays more attention to us than he ever did before. Thanks Decator for training our dog and us! Tyler & Lana
Alan Hull
My name is Alan and I own a 1 year old Cane Corso. I have been wanting to get him trained for sometime now in not only obedience but also personal protection. I worked with him at home on socialization and tried to teach him some basic obedience. I soon realized that in order to train a dog you need lots of experience and skill, I had neither. I looked around for a dog trainer in Georgia and found Decator Marble with Blitz K9. After going to just one session Bear (my dog) was showing incredible potential and drive to learn. Decator opened up a line of communication between me and Bear. I eventually decided to leave Bear with Decator to allow him to train everyday. And believe me, I would never leave my baby with someone that I didn't completely trust. When I got bear back he was the same loving dog but was super tight in his commands. Bear and I share a special bond now that is even stronger than when we first started out because Decator helped
me open up the path of communication. Bear now knows exactly what I want him to do at all times and does it without hesitation. Thank you Decator.

Well, how do I say "Thank You" and it mean enough to cover everything! Ok to start I found Decator in Feb, 2011 and after meeting him for the first time I was sold. He had my big "block head" sitting and healing after the first day. I am a "mom" so not only was I baby-ing my kids but I was treating my dogs the same way, which was fine when they were little but my babies grew up to be huge and were running all over me and Decator knew it. Not only did he help me regain my "Pack leader" status but he helped me to realize that my attitude was reflecting on Bama, so when I was thinking "oh God, he's going to try and start something with that dog!" I was actually driving my dog to do just that. Bama is now a Gentleman who I would gladly take anywhere with me. As for my Katie, she had developed reservations about strange men and she has always been such a sweet dog I hated to see her nervous over nothing. With Decator's help we have built her trust and her confidence up so that now even a 7ft tall man could come up and pet her and she would wag her tail the entire time. Decator has done such a great job with all my dogs that I am sending my new puppy to train with him in the coming months so that she will be perfect from the get-go! And if I ever have another dog it will be going to BlitzK9! It’s hard to find a good trainer, but finding an amazing one is next to impossible, so I lucked up and won the lotto with Decator! Thank you BlitzK9 and Decator for making my life a better one, and giving me my dogs back!

A couple months ago, my fiancé' and I took delivery of "Junior", a 14-month old trained Giant Schnauzer that we had purchased from Decator Marble at Blitz K9. At first, I was a bit leery of buying a dog "sight-unseen", but since Charlie and his ex-wife had bought "Boomer", another male Giant Schnauzer from Decator a couple years ago, I felt a bit more comfortable with the arrangement.
We had requested that Junior be trained in basic obedience, and be given "feline sensitivity training" prior to his coming to live with us so that he would not harm our older residents, two neutered male tabbies, Lord Boulder and Brisco County Junior. Decator assured us that our new boy would be gentle and protective, and he has turned out to be exactly as promised - the perfect pet. Charlie takes him along for a 15 - 20 mile run when he goes on his bike rides 2 - 3 days per week, accompanied by his "brother" and "sister", Boomer and Dixie. I take him for leisurely walks through my father's old tract in the Sammamish Highlands once or twice a week, and everyone I encounter there says how calm and well-behaved he is. I plan to get him additional training so that he may become a Delta Therapy Dog in the future.
Since Junior has worked out so well, I have already sent in a deposit toward the purchase of a trained female puppy from Blitz K9 as a playmate for him. I know that Mr. Marble will touch base with us periodically after her arrival to make sure that she will work out just as well as our baby boy has.

In November of 2003 my mother purchased a Giant Schnauzer named Morena from Blitz K9. Morena was an un-ending source of love, comfort, and companionship to her. She even celebrated her 1st birthday with a party and Morena wore a Tiara. My mom went to be with the Lord in 2004 and I inherited Morena. It does not seem possible that we have had her in our lives for almost 4 years, she is adorable, loving and probably the smartest dog alive. She believes everyone loves her; therefore, she's very friendly. She is a wonderful watch dog, yet would not hurt a soul. Morena favors staying inside of the house yet wonders into the yard when our 9 year old Rottie goes outside to Chill. She walks with a wonderful prance; that is fun to watch and often commented about from people when we are out in the community. My husband and I cannot imagine our lives without her. We love her and her breed so much we have decided to purchase another Giant Schnauzer puppy from you and named him Zeus "the man" Rodriquez. He is bright, affectionate, mischievous, and comical! Zeus, will be returning to you for obedience training! Just like his big sister, Morena. Thank you so much for these wonderful additions to our family.

I keep up with your website and happen to see the new pups. They are looking great! I'm trying to come down and see you, but thank the good Lord I've been able to stay busy with work! Chloe is doing wonderful these days. Decator she really is a great dog and got me through some tough times. You know she is almost 2 now and I have loved every second, well most of them anyway. I'm sure you know about that. I wanted to tell you that I got her spayed at 6 months. She now has incontinence!! aahhh! I've got her on medicine that takes all of it away. I just wanted to tell you so that for you future buyers they should wait until the dog is more developed. I got her fixed at 6 months, but according to the reading I've done I should have waited till she was almost 2. The vet told me otherwise, hindsight I guess. Was her dad Louis? The one on your website holding the toy in his mouth, because she does the exact same thing. She now goes on my duck hunting tips trips but not a great retriever yet! She just loves being out there with us. She goes all over Atlanta with me and knows exactly when to play guard dog. She is outstanding with kids I would leave her with any child with no worries whatsoever. She loves to play with other dogs; her best buddy is a pit-bull named Otis. But when night time comes or if she is in my truck she is always on point and ready for action! I love it! If you ever need a reference for someone, or if they want to talk to me about your greatness, call me at (678)551-0428.

Decator, I just wanted to say Thank you for all your help and support with Lexi. We did try 3 other trainers and had no progress with them. I now can walk Lexi on a loose leash, play with her; have her around other people and pets. She has transformed into a different dog. I couldn't have done it without you and we the Parker Family are in your debt. If anyone is looking for a dog trainer they need to see you. I was at my wits end with her and everyone who I had called told me to PUT HER TO SLEEP. I knew that was not an option. You were awesome with her and helped show me how I needed to be with her. Her sit, stay, come, and heel are down to a science and she is a Happy Boxer. My kids enjoy her more and can do more and spend time with her more as well. She was strictly outside dog even my husband now lets her inside. I couldn't have asked for better results. I need to get some of your cards to hand out when I see someone who needs a little training. I also have added some pictures of Lexi for you too. Thank you from the Parker Family and Lexi too.

Our dog, Spencer, came to us as a three-month old puppy, after he had been abandoned in the woods near our home. He was covered in ticks, and looked like a bag of bones. After getting him initially cleaned up and cared for, it was apparent that he had some significant "issues". Although he physically thrived with us, he remained fearful of pretty much everything. We could never figure out what the trigger was, but he suffered episodes of severe shivering, panting, hiding from us, and/or rolling over on his back in a totally submissive posture. He even wet himself if you tried to pet him during one of these episodes. Our vet prescribed a form of valium, but it can be habit forming in humans, so we tried to use it very sparingly. Ultimately, we asked around until we found a place that could help us train him to be more confident, and help us help him. Before training at Blitz K9, it was virtually impossible to walk Spencer on a leash, and it was very difficult to call him into the house from the yard. Out of fear, he displayed an aggressive posture with strangers and even our own neighbors. We had come to really love our family pet, but we're beginning to think that we would have to find him another home. Happily, after one month of boarding/training at Blitz K9 and another month of training for our family members, we are confident that we will be able to keep Spencer. He is a joy to take for walks now, and appears eager to follow basic commands. Thank you, Blitz K9 for helping our Spencer be a happy and healthy dog!

This year, my husband and I decided to find a giant schnauzer puppy to add to our family for Christmas. We contacted Decator Marble with Blitz K9 who had giant schnauzer puppies. We wanted a puppy that would be able to grow up with our 5 year old Miniature Schnauzer, Destin and 2 children. We picked Laycee, the new giant schnauzer puppy, up in the middle of November 2009. This ended up being an early Christmas present for our children. Upon arrival to Columbus, GA, we found Decator outside playing with Laycee. After speaking with Decator and deciding on getting one of his puppies, he started working with Laycee and calling her by name. We decided against cropping her ears.
Since brining Laycee home, she has adjusted well. She had her first vet visit and she is a very healthy puppy. She and Destin are best friends and play well together. Laycee is great with the children and very well behaved, for a puppy. She is full of puppy energy. We have been working with her diligently on housebreaking and she is about 90% housebroken after only having her about 3 weeks.
We are very happy with Laycee and could not have asked for a better puppy. She gives great kisses and is a wonderful help waking the kids up in the morning. She still has her little puppy breath, which is adorable. She is growing like a weed and is almost as tall as the miniature schnauzer. They will grow up to be the best of siblings.
Laycee is a wonderful addition to our family. Thanks Decator for all your help with the transaction of Laycee to her new family. We will keep you informed of Laycee's progress.
