Carl with Calm K9 Training was great to work with. He stayed patient and was happy to answer any questions I had. He did a very good job explaining all the training techniques. The bootcamp worked very well with my dog and I am excited to see how we improve even more!

We had a great experience with Calm K-9 for our people-reactive chihuahua dachshund mix. After he bit an elderly neighbor we reached out to them on their website and got a quick response. Within weeks Carl came out for a consultation and assured us he could work with our dog. We signed up for the 4-week boot camp and could not be happier with the results. Not only can we have guests over to the house with out worrying about their safety, he also does not pull on the leash on walks, has stopped most destructive chewing behavior, listens to basic commands, and has all around better behavior. Carl did a great job teaching us lessons and being there for all of our additional questions after hours. Would very highly recommend the company and Carl, was worth every penny.

Calm K9 was an excellent choice for my mini golden-doodle! Carl was fantastic at providing effective guidance and instructions during the training sessions. Oliver is now calm throughout the day and I have complete confidence that he will adhere to my instructions! I would highly recommend Calm K9 to anyone who is looking for a trainer in the Richmond area.

We had Carl from K9 calm come and change our lives. We "acquired" Sprite during a breakup 3 years ago and expected him to go away one day. We decided to invest in him with training. The only problem was we had a queen of the house, Ava, who ruled the roost. It was made clear that we wanted to train both of them so they could co exist together. It was the best decision I made to have both of them trained. Carl did an AMAZING job and we couldn't be happier. He spoke to us in languages both my "Disney dad" (Carl's words) and myself could understand. We both took the training seriously and have 2 different dogs. Thanks Carl for all your help.

My mini dachshund, Oatmeal had major aggression and was terrible to bring to parks or around anyone for that matter. He would bark, pull and even bite occasionally. Since starting the program of training, We have been amazed how much calmer and receptive he is. We were able to even take him to a PUBLIC park and no issues! He stayed in a down command for about 5 minutes while people walked past and around him -it was amazing . He is no longer aggressive towards people and let’s them come greet and pet him. This program gave him more confidence and we have had zero issues with him growling or showing signs of aggression since our last session. And most of all I feel a better bond and respect we now have with Oatmeal. Carol was the BEST trainer all credit to him! And thankfully he didn’t take it easy on us and that’s what we needed for perfect results!!! We are so happy and want to recommend for other to go see Carol! Training was our last hope for my pup before rehoming due to aggression but thankfully with this program we will never have to get rid of him!
