I couldn't be happier with the training Hank received. Zac did an outstanding job with Hank, teaching him both obedience and hunting skills. Thanks to Zac's expert training, Hank is now responsive to commands and showed remarkable performance during his first pheasant hunt at nine months old. It was clear that all the time and effort Zac put in with Hank paid off. I would highly recommend Zac and Fairbanks Kennels to anyone who wants their dog trained the right way. The results speak for themselves and I couldn't be happier.
Zach


I highly recommend Zac as a dog trainer. He worked wonders with my dog Nash. Zac tailored the training to ours and Nash's needs and created a positive environment. His clear instruction and support made it easy to continue the training at home. If you are looking for a skilled caring trainer, Zac is the one to trust.

When I adopted Millie at 8 months old, she only had basic crate and potty training and needed guidance on everything else. Thanks to Zac, she has transformed into the most gentle and loving office dog I could have hoped for.
Zac taught Millie essential commands and even trained her to "place," which has been a game changer at the office. Zac's patience with Millie, especially breaking a few bad habits, was remarkable. He worked through her challenges with care and consistency.
One of the things I appreciate most was Zac's focus on helping me, too. He took the time to watch me train and command Millie provided guidance to help me become the best leader for her. Thanks to his support, Millie is a better listener, walks beautifully on leash and is the most gentle office dog.
Zac's kindness, patience, and dedication have made such a difference in both Millie's life and mine. I'm so grateful for the tools he's given us to succeed.
