We took our dog Tezel to bombshell K9 due to him having dog and people reactivity. We are expecting our first child soon and knew we needed to get Tezel on his best behavior before the baby comes.
When we went to Bombshell for our evaluation of Tezel, Britaini was instantly good with our pup. She brought out several of his “triggers” so she could see how he has been reacting and behaving. Britaini never once made me feel bad for not knowing the correct thing to do with my reactive dog. After the evaluation she discussed her recommendations for Tezel’s training and was also upfront and clear on pricing for all options. We went with the board and train option and she was quick to fit Tezel in which was very helpful.
After Tezel graduated his board and train, we were taught all of his new commands and had all of our questions answered!
Since bringing Tezel home it has been so amazing to see his change in obedience and decrease in reactivity. In situations where he would have been lunging and barking at a nearby dog, he is now giving us his full attention. His walking and leash manners have improved tremendously where I feel confident I will be able to walk him and push the stroller when the baby comes.
Since leaving the board and train, we have had a few questions pop up and Britaini was very quick to answer them for us to ensure we are doing to correct things to keep Tezel’s training in the right direction.
Overall we are so grateful for Bombshell K9’s help in improving Tezel’s obedience and decreasing his reactivity. We are so glad we trusted them and would recommend them to anyone!!

We were looking for help addressing reactivity with our Cane Corso/Neopolitan Mastiff mix. We interviewed multiple trainers and decided on Bombshell K9 for a four week board and train program. When she entered the program, she knew little more than how to unreliably "sit". She came back to us with a set of commands we can now reliably use to keep working through challenging moments. We went from hair trigger with every passing person to being able to enjoy walks together and couldn't be more thankful for the team at Bombshell K9!

5/5I think you broke my 🐶. He's let the 3 pound 9 month old Chihuahua sniff his face on several occasions. The last time, he had his chew bone in his front paws, chewing on it. No growling or hair on his back standing up. He even was excited to see a "new male"(septic guy) and let …Read full reviewClose full review
I think you broke my 🐶. He's let the 3 pound 9 month old Chihuahua sniff his face on several occasions. The last time, he had his chew bone in his front paws, chewing on it. No growling or hair on his back standing up. He even was excited to see a "new male"(septic guy) and let him pet Odin. Now squirrels and cats are another thing still. The photo, I wasn't quick to get a good picture. They were both laying down, granted it was on opposite sides of the screen door (baby steps). I want to thank you for what you started.

Britaini and her staff are amazing. From our first meet and greet, to the training plan and onto our extended board and train with our bipolar dog. I felt 100% comfortable leaving him in her hands. Thank you so much. ❤️❤️❤️
Odin thanks you too.

I just want Thank Bombshell k9 for a last minute decision I had to make while I was out of town and left my boy Vhagar with another kennel that called me the next morning letting me know that they need my boy out, I asked why when his been going there since he was a 5 month old pup. Bombshell pop in my mind and they didn't even question me they said they will take my boy of the other kennel and bring him to their kennel. I can't thank them enough and for doing this last minute while I was out of town. I would truly recommend and moving forward my boy would be going to Bombshell k9 kennel for boarding and he will be attending training soon.
