Testimonials

Our clientele includes very diverse group of persons. They
range from athletes, entertainers, to everyday, hardworking
people. The dogs they own and their needs for training are as
equally different. Some dogs come from A.K.C. Pedigrees and
others are mixed breeds. Nevertheless, they all have one thing
in common; they are all dog lovers that recognize the
importance of a well-trained pet. Your pet can be an asset or a
liability. The difference is obedience or non-obedience. Here
are just a few comments from our customers.

Baseball Legend Hank Aaron
and his dogs:
Are you looking for satisfaction
guaranteed in a dog trainer?
With Mr. Cigar Stephenson you
will receive nothing less than
perfection. Expecting mediocrity,
I simply asked for obedience,
trick, personal and property
protection for my two German
Shepherds. Mr. Cigar went far
beyond the call of duty to service
my needs and requests. In
return, my shepherds'
performance goes beyond what I
expected of them. I highly
recommend Mr. Cigar for anyone
seeking a dog training
perfectionist; as well, as a
perfectly trained dog.

Testimonials

Mike Upshur, a Palmetto police officer,
pictured with Officer Smitty.

I met Cigar Stephenson between the
years of 1999 and 2000. I was a
spectator in a wooded area. I wasn't
there alone. Cigar was the only trainer
and there were about 8 to 12 dog
owners with their dogs. I watched this
man work each dog individually and I
saw some amazing things. I was
introduced to Cigar by a mutual friend.
Once Cigar found out I was GA. police
officer, he offered to donate a dog and
to train the dog for police work. Cigar
stated, " I want to give back to the
community." At this particular time;
however, I was starting my own
business in security, so I declined. In
the year 2004, I came back into the law
enforcement business as a police
officer for the city of Palmetto PD. I
went to a fast food restaurant and saw
that familiar face of Cigar (once you
meet him you won't forget him). In the
restaurant, I asked, "Do you remember
me." He stated, You're Officer Mike,
right." To my amazement he again
made the same offer. I now am the
proud owner of a K-9 shepherd,
named Officer Smitty. Ofr. Smitty was
trained by Cigar to alert on marijuana,
cocaine, and meth. Smitty also was
trained to track human scent with and
without an article. He also is a patrol
dog, meaning he will defend me on
command (a silent hand signal) and
stop a perpetrator with or without a
bite. This was all done out of the
kindness and thoughtfulness of
Mr. Cigar.
Dogs are better than alarm systems
when properly trained, and I've never
met a better trainer than Mr. Aerion
Stephenson.
