Experience 10+ Years
Lee has spent a lot of time around dogs. Lee grew up in a family that bred different types of dogs. His mother bred and raised Labradors and Weimaraners as a hobby/side business.
His father bred and raised Bloodhounds. His grandfather bred, raised and trained Greyhounds for racing. His uncle was also an excellent dog trainer.
With Lee’s exposure to lots of dogs and the expertise his family shared with him, Lee was able to learn a lot about dogs from a young age.
After his military service, Lee found himself at college with a Whippet puppy named Elliot who he trained to be an amazing Frisbee dog.
After college and with a degree in Psychology, he became attracted to Dobermans. Lee took to training them with the idea of having a completely reliable family companion who could go into protection mode with the “flip of a switch” and then immediately return to that reliable family companion afterward.
Lee now specializes in training Belgian Malinois, Dutch Shepherds, German Shepherds, and Shepinois to be world-class protection dogs. He still loves Dobies though!
Lee understands the great need for excellent dog training in Arizona and has committed Armor K9 to provide you with the finest dog training from the best dog trainers! He has had a vision for expanding Armor K9’s area of service to include Phoenix and the greater Phoenix metro area for years.
We understand the Phoenix is the fastest growing city in America right now and the Phoenix metro area keeps growing. We are committed to growing with it and are offering now our services to the growing Phoenix area.
Experience 10+ Years
We are proud to announce that our Phoenix branch of Armor K9 will be run and managed by RD Miller. RD has been unofficially/officially working with Armor K9 for the past three years.
He will be a great asset to the Armor K9 team, and we couldn’t be more enthusiastic to endorse his addition to our growing team!
RD has been training and working with dogs most of his life but has really been at it hard the last 4 years. Specializing in obedience training, dog behavioral issues and personal protection, he is also really good at teaching tasks.
What is his favorite part about dog training? ‘It’s when a family is about to get rid of their dog because of aggressive dog behavior, or it’s thought to just be a “bad dog.” The family feels they have no other options with their dog. Then they hire us. When we are able to fix the issue for the dog and they are able to keep the dog, that is pure satisfaction.’
When he’s not training your dog, RD enjoys camping and road trips with his family and his two dogs, Bane and Quinn.
The addition of RD to the Armor K9 team is huge! His love of dogs and helping their owners along with his devotion to learning new skills and gaining new tools for his toolbox are all second to none. RD’s addition to our team will allow us to reach the greater Phoenix area including areas like Scottsdale, Chandler, and Surprise.
A genuine “good guy,” we are pleased and honored to call RD a friend, colleague, and now Armor K9 branch manager.
If you are in the Phoenix or greater Phoenix metro area and are in need of expert dog training, call RD and he will be happy to assist you! (480) 442-5174
