Complete K-9

Chance graduated from the mastery program! We are very pleased from where he started to where he’s at today. In addition to Chance being trained, my family and I were also able to learn some valuable skills to help Chance be successful after his training program. We would do this again hands down. Thank you Complete K9 for all that you have done with Chance, and helping us to be responsible dog owners.

Lulu loves going to Complete K-9 Training Services. We were originally looking for a day care because we wanted Lulu to be more confident hanging out with other dogs before Christmas - when we would be with 2 other dogs. When we did our consultation, it was suggested that we need to address her anxiety - not just throw her in with other dogs. So, we signed up for the essentials class. She already had graduated from Petsmart beginner class, and we had started the intermediate program. She knew basic commands, but didn't always want to do them (she's a working dog mix and her blend is VERY independent). From the pre-training orientation calls and prep, through the training itself, to the social club group training after.... the experience with Complete K-9 has been wonderful. We have a WhatsApp group where we can ask questions and where Caitlin (our trainer) gives us updates of Lulu's activities. And then, when we'd go to our training session, Caitlin would answer all my crazy questions and give us feedback on what we were doing well and where we could improve. Lulu is now a much more enjoyable pup 4 months after adopting her from GCAC. She listens better (she still needs some corrections) and she can walk past barking dogs like they don't exist... and she can down stay as high energy dogs pass her on our walks. She even learned how to play with another dog and loved it. We've since been to 2 of the group classes, which are a great way to keep up her training and test her reactivity, and have her in daycare once/week on the weeks there isn't a group class so she can practice her skills. Plus, she LOVES going there and seeing Caitlin. I highly recommend Complete K-9! April UPDATE: We have been attending the social club group training every other week with the team, and that has proven to help Lulu shine. She can hang out with other dogs with ease these days. She still doesn't care for dogs barking at her from behind fences, but who can blame her! In addition to social club, we have her in daycare every other week- and Kinsey makes sure she has LOTS of play time with other pups. She gives us a report card that includes pictures and videos, so we can see Lulu's adventures during the day. I love that the daycare is specialized and that Kinsey selects the right dogs for Lulu. She's learned how to to play with different kinds of dogs- high energy, and low. And when I took her on a day trip with my friend who has a Tibetan Mastiff of low energy who doesn't usually care for dogs, Lulu was very respectful and they got along fantastically.
