Alan admitted to leaving him outside too long during the afternoon. Then he put him in the kennel inside his home most of the evening during a storm. Alan said that he noticed Booster was panting heavily and pacing most of the evening. He said that he didn't think he ever cooled off. When I asked how much water he had to drink, Alan replied, "I don't know. I don't monitor that." He left him outside too long when the heat index was 106 degrees. He noticed distress signals from Booster, but failed to act. When he found him dead in his kennel at 7 am, he left him there all day to rot, and then took him to Creekside Vet Clinic and put him in the freezer around 4 pm without ever talking to me or a vet. He was boarding the dogs inside his home within the city of Arlington illegally. He had a total of 6 dogs plus 4 of his own at the time Booster died. My family is still devastated from this loss. We loved Booster like another child and not a day goes by that we don't miss him. He was a healthy year and a half old dog when we left him, and now all we have left is a paw print. I recommend keeping your dogs far away from Alan Brown and K-9 Direction!

  Bottom Line

  Thank you for your feedback.

  Seeking Dog Trainer Hey all! I've rescued a pit bull terrier a few months ago and she needs training. She does show aggression towards other dogs and no group training will let us participate. If anyone can recommend a one on one trainer that would be very helpful.

  [K-9 direction](http://www.k-9 direction.com/) is good. My dog can be aggressive at times but Alann really helps establish a way to help. The group training is really beneficial and the cheapest option . My dog could be a little embarrassing at times but they had no problem with an aggressive dog in the group training. Everyone has a clear way to identify if a dog can be aggressive in training and know to keep a distance . They can also be really understanding and helpful.

  Tiffani G. asked:

  Does anyone have any recommendations for an in-home dog trainer? I've tried Yelp! and Google, but I'm not having the best of luck!

  

  Pam K. replied:

  I love Alan Brown http://k-9 direction.com/ One time fee for the lifetime of the dog if you go to classes and train yourself. He also does board and train where the dog goes to his house for some training and then back to you for a while and then back to him.
