Coastline K9

Selecting a personal protection dog for our family, including our two young daughters, was a significant decision. After extensive research and visiting various companies, Coastline K9 in Naples, Florida, stood out as the clear choice, and our experience with them confirmed we made the right decision. The professionalism at Coastline K9 was evident from the start. Erick, who first responded to our inquiry, provided thorough and insightful discussions about our family's needs, setting a solid foundation for our journey. Our household dynamics, including other pets and regular travel to busy places (Disney World and snowboard trips), were carefully considered in guiding us to the right choice. Our visit to Coastline K9's facility was a pivotal moment in our decision-making process. Their dogs exhibited an ideal blend of discipline and gentleness, crucial for a family with young children. My daughter Everleigh's positive interactions with the dogs were particularly reassuring. Choosing Nala, as recommended by Erick, was a decision based on his deep understanding of our family's needs. The dedication of the Coastline K9 team, especially during the turnover process, was remarkable. They adapted to our busy schedule, conducting extensive, late-night (often after midnight) training sessions tailored to our specific situation. This level of commitment far exceeded our expectations and reflected their dedication to Nala's successful integration into our family. An integral part of our experience was working with Breton, Nala's primary trainer. His involvement was crucial in both the training and turnover phases. Breton's expertise in dog training and his deep connection with Nala were evident. He led many of our education and training sessions, sharing his extensive knowledge and ensuring we were comfortable and confident in handling Nala. His ability to translate complex training methodologies into practical, everyday scenarios was invaluable. It was initially bittersweet to observe Nala's attachment to Breton, knowing she was to become part of our family, but witnessing the transition of her loyalty to us was incredibly rewarding. The scenario training was a standout aspect of our experience. Coastline K9 meticulously prepared us for various real-life situations, ranging from potential break-ins at our office to encounters at gas stations. This training was not only practical but also eye-opening, significantly boosting our confidence in handling Nala and potential real-life threats. The team's expertise in scenario planning and execution was impressive, providing us with a realistic understanding of how to work with Nala in different environments. The ongoing support from Coastline K9, including follow-ups and discussions about Nala’s adjustment to our home and interaction with our other pets, highlights their commitment to their clients and dogs. Our experience with Coastline K9 has been so positive that we have already made plans to purchase additional personal protection dogs from them in the coming years. This decision is not just based on our satisfaction with Nala, but also on the trust and relationship we have built with Erick, Breton, and their team. We are confident that any future dogs from Coastline K9 will be as well-trained and suited to our family as Nala has been. In summary, our experience with Coastline K9 has been extraordinary. Nala has seamlessly integrated into our family, providing both security and companionship. The extensive time investment, personalized training, and the exceptional care from Erick, Breton, and the entire team at Coastline K9 have left us deeply satisfied. We wholeheartedly recommend Coastline K9 to anyone in search of a well-trained personal protection dog that fits perfectly into their family life.

Our family called coastline K9 for our Great Dane rescue after he was showing signs of what we now know as fear aggression. We met Evgenia at Coastline for an initial consult. Evgenia explained the program to us and the training that would be provided and we decided to sign our our pup up. And it turned out to be the greatest decision for our family. After six weeks at board and train our dog has made amazing progress. During his entire stay, we were updated on his progress and sent videos of the training. We are forever grateful. Thank you Evgenia and the staff at Coastline K9!!
