I contacted Calm K9 training for help with my 9 month hound mix. I had seen 1 trainer beforehand but she wasn't much help. I wanted to give it another shot with Calm K9 because of the reviews. My dog's separation anxiety was getting worse and I wanted him to be safe and happy. Carl was great throughout the whole process. He was communicative, supportive, and encouraging. We did the basic training program and I saw a huge difference in my dog's behavior and basic obedience right away. I am very thankful for Carl and for teaching ME how to train my dog. Highly recommend!

I chose this training program for my German Shepherd pup who was just under 1 year old. He was not treat motivated and needed more structure. Carl was great, he always explained things in ways you can understand/relate to and made sure everything was clear. He helped me get through the times my pup was being stubborn. The program is great & very successful so far. As long as you put in the work and do your homework outside of the weekly lessons, it will make a big difference in your pup!

Carl was wonderful to work with. He was so patient with us and always listened. Our girls are so much less anxious because of this training!

My dog Elvis did the Basic Bootcamp training with Carl and it was worth every penny. Elvis is reactive/fearful towards strangers and has a bite history. The 4 weeks of training that we underwent has already helped him calm down and made him more confident in different situations. Elvis had a pretty solid foundation of obedience and off leash training when Carl started working with us, but Carl helped teach me how to clean up his obedience and utilize it to build confidence. I'm now looking forward to having new people over to the house because it will be a great training exercise for Elvis and I trust that he will be able to relax enough to meet strangers for the first time ever. I can't say enough good things about Carl! He was patient, kind, explained everything in great detail, and never made me feel like I couldn't ask 1,000 questions (which I did.) Highly recommend!
