About Us
Hey, I'm
David M. Ranieri
My Canine career began in 1988 working as an Obedience, and Protection Dog Trainer for the former Canine Academy in Boston, Mass. working under Bob Warren, and John Leblanc. Working with individuals and families in both private, and group environments in 3 locations in the greater Boston area.
In 1990 I went into business opening my first school at that time called Mightie Dog Training School and did mostly In Home, and In Kennel Obedience & Protection Training along with solving many Behavioral Issues.
In 1993 I made contact with Ted Hoppe a former US military dog trainer, and purchased my 2nd Belgian Malinois (Nitro). While working under Ted I became very proficient training in Advanced Obedience On and Off Leash, Trialing, Protection Work, and Decoying for the higher end working and service dogs. Ted is also now the largest importer of top quality Czech German Shepherds in Florida Gatorland K-9 International and Founder of the American Street Ring Association and is still one of the best trainers in this field. I made many trips to Florida to train under Ted to compete in several competitions and earned many Certificates of Excellence and Awards.
In 1997 I first met Germain Pauwels while competing in Florida who is now the current president of the NVBK (Belguim). The Belgians, in my mind, are the most incredible, patient, detail orientated trainers I have ever had the pleasure to work with. They also have some of the most incredible dogs I have ever seen. They have a very high bar of expectation and quality standards in their breed and their training program.
In 1997, after spending time in Belgium I founded Trouwe Hond K-9 named after My friend and mentor’s school in Belgium.
In 2001 I brought ASR to Boston and hosted a Seminar, Trial and Tough dog contest in Danvers Mass. I took first place in the level 1 with my dog Kirk.
I then went on to Successfully Title dogs in Competition off leash Obedience, Agility, and Personal Protection programs. Some organizations and programs include the American Street Ring association, Belgian Ring sport (NVBK), French Ring sport, and various other personal protection programs.I holds several Awards of Excellence, and Certifications in Obedience, Behavior Modification, Agility, Personal, and Home Protection.I is also Certified as a level 3 Training, and Trial ASR Decoy.
In 2001 Kirk and I Won the American Street Ring Championship Level 1 held in Bunnell Florida.
In 2004 Kirk and I Won the intermediate level of the Dog Sport Open hosted by Cheryl Carlson in Michigan and also won the Hardest Hitting Dog contest.
A Note:
Never forget where you came from. If it wasn’t for these exceptional trainers taking me under there wing I wouldn’t be the proficient canine trainer, and behavior specialist I am today. I hold these folks in very high regard and to me are the absolute best hands down.
