April's K911 Academy

April was a lifesaver for my aggressive dog. She wasn’t shy around him and even when my dog showed aggression towards her initially she showed us how to respond and what cues to look for. Most importantly, she showed us how to change his behavior and introduce people to him. I used her teaching techniques with my other dogs and much to my surprise, my “dumb dog” was able to learn simple things like sit, wait, stay and more. This is a dog we though had the intellect of a rock. And she learned it in one day! We’d tried to teach her for 8 years! I highly recommend April. She was quick to respond with any questions. Absolutely awesome. And best she has a doggy daycare! I can’t say enough positive things about my experience with April.

I have known April for the last 18 years. Five dogs later, I can say that April is an excellent trainer. You have to put in the work in order to be effective. Practicing once or twice isn't going to do it, but over and over repeatedly, every day. It will pay off and you'll have a well trained dog as a result. Two of my dogs belonged to Therapaws, Inc. where we visited schools and hospitals. You need a well behaved animal to do that. Sometimes a phone call to April with questions can be very helpful. April is thorough. I've worked with her in classes and also private classes. She gets an A++ in my book.

I recently adopted a dog from the shelter. She lacks confidence and was showing some unwanted behaviors and some fear which showed up as aggression. I was very fortunate to find April. My dog Margeaux and I have been attending the Grumpy Dog classes which have provided clear instruction and tools that I can use to become more relaxed and confident in the way that I handle Margeaux which helps her be more relaxed and confident. I have also been taking Margeaux to April’s daycare where Margeaux can interact safely with other dogs and receive ongoing training. In a very short time I’ve seen huge results and I couldn’t be happier. I find April to be very calm, professional, kind, understanding and wise. I love her techniques. I highly recommend this amazing lady and her academy. She will make a difference in the lives of dogs and their owners. I personally think every dog and their owners would benefit from April’s training. April is a blessing 🐶🐶💕💕
