Carl of Calm K9 was great with my dog and me. He trained both of us, building us up slowly over the four week program. My dog is much better handling interactions with other dogs now. I highly recommend this company.

We considered our dog, Riggs, “obedient enough” before we started the training, but we have a new baby in the home and needed him to be more reliable and much calmer on a leash to ensure everyone’s safety and happiness. Calm K9 was exactly what we needed. We are so thankful to Carl and Calm K9 training for giving us the tools to make Riggs calmer and happier in our home and out in the world. Carl was not only patient and calm with Riggs, but with us, too as we learned this new skill. He was reassuring and always answered all our questions. Our family and friends have already remarked how different and more calm Riggs is. We have so much more confidence in our ability to keep him safe and happy on walks and in our home. We are so so grateful and would recommend Calm K9 to everyone.

Carl worked with my 1&1/2 year old goldendoodle and I and I cannot recommend him enough! The change i’ve seen in my dog from the first lesson to now is so incredible! I genuinely cannot believe how much of a well behaved and mannered dog she is. We worked on all the things I wanted to be fixed and with carl’s guidance and help and our hard work she is the most well behaved and obedient dog! Thank you carl!!!

We adopted a puppy with a lot of anxiety and reached out to calm k9 training to help! Carl was our trainer and he was amazing!! He was so informative and kind to work with each week! Our dog is doing so much better and more confident because of this training!! Would recommend to everyone!!!

Carl was so great to work with and helped tremendously with Kirby's reactiveness toward many things (dogs, lawn mowers, etc) as well as his fearfulness, which would manifest as growling at strangers. He even will share toys with the other dog in the house now and walks well on a leash, both of which were unthinkable just a few weeks ago! Carl gave me the tools to best help Kirby to become calm and balanced. It takes work on the part of the owner, but it is so worth it, and I would highly highly recommend this training! I'm excited to keep up with the training on my own and keep helping Kirby to improve and hopefully love his new life.
