About American Dog Pros
American Dog Pros Founder: Zack Kiser
Zack comes from a family of talented dog trainers and as a result began his journey in dog training as a child.
His introduction to dog training began with working dogs. When they weren’t helping dog owners train their beloved pets, Zacks father and uncle would spend their time training competitive protection dogs, as well as police and military K9’s. Zack has continued this work in his life, placing dogs on police forces and coaching teams of competitive dog trainers.
Zack is an avid dog sport competitor, having won the level 1 USMRA National Championship in 2016 and later placing second in the World Championship of Mondioring in Battice, Belgium!
Zack aided in the wins of Amy and Goose at level 2, and Jan and Quest at Level 3 in the 2023 USMRA National Championship. Both teams put on beautiful performances at the 2023 FCI World Championship in Portugal with Zacks assistance.
Zack has been invited to Decoy the 2024 FMBB world championship Italy. Zack is only the second American born Decoy to receive this honor!
Zack and his dog, Scrappy, achieved the prestigious dog training title – Mondioring 3 – with a high score of 352/400, with several passing scores following that. Scrappy is the face in our logo and one of multiple workings dogs Zack has shown at a high level of competition.

Why Do We Train?
Why have your dog professionally trained?
SAFETY!
With so many potential dangers in our world, it is our responsibility as pet owners to have our pets reliably trained so we can safely avoid and handle those situations!
BOND!
Training gives us a level of mutual understanding with our pets that allows us to have an enhanced and frustration free relationship!
FUN!
Training can be fun for our pets and gives them the mental stimulation they require to meet their biological demands! Not to mention how fun it is for us to see their little brains work!
