9linek9 is absolutely amazing! They have completely helped us out with our 1 year old Belgian Malinois/Doberman mix (who can be quite the handful). They are such a great team and we love continuing our pups education with the group classes! They have taken their time to help every step of the way & their facilities are spotless. They have created such a wonderful setup for the dogs. I have recommended them to anyone who needs help with training, and will continue to do so-because they truly are worth it!

We took our 4 1/2-month-old Rottweiler, Minnie, to 9 Line K9 for their basic obedience training package, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Minnie came home with a solid foundation of obedience, and the transformation has been incredible! The team at 9 Line K9 did a fantastic job, and it’s clear they put care and attention into every aspect of the training process. We love supporting small, family-owned, and veteran-owned businesses, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality dog training! Thank you, Mark & Ronni!

Mark and Ronnie are the best! Can’t recommend 9 Line K9 Academy more. Mark is so knowledgeable and he treated our fur baby with such good care. Our puppy had no socialization skills, very fearful (because of prior home) and he helped our pup build confidence and a great foundation. We are so appreciative for their time with our pup. Will be coming back for boarding services when we go out of town.

I'm not sure I can say enough about Mark. My big boy Titan LOVES him! Mark is gentle, kind, and loving but firm with him, and he's very patient with teaching me. Titan gets so excited when he sees Mark, he jumps like a rabbit with all four feet off the ground. It's pretty funny for a huge dog!
