Convergent K9

6 years, 3 different training facilities, CBD, and doggie Prozac with no results. We were so desperate to find help for our girl so we decided to stop in to Convergent and just have a conversation. Dog training is not “one size fits all” and this was the first time that a trainer listened to what we needed and built a program specifically for our dog. Chip did a free evaluation which consisted of him coming to my home to really get to know and understand my dog in her environment. One of the previous trainers we hired took $150 for an in home evaluation, told me to get a can of pet corrector and a prong collar for a dog with fear and anxiety. We made the decision to go all in and take a chance on Chip, Brittney and team and the results have been amazing! We have gone from a dog that would lunge at cars, bark at birds and leaves and anything that move, and lose her sh!t if we had to pass another dog to a calm, well behaved dog that stays at my hip with no pulling. She is still a work in progress and Chip continues to spend time with us outside of the facility. We even take trips to Home Depot and I got a compliment from a stranger about how well trained my dog was. Never in a million years would I have thought we could even step foot inside a store with my dog. Chip and team have given us a dog that we can now enjoy instead of keeping her locked up in the house. They also offered to work with my other dog that needs a few manner adjustments. You will not be disappointed with this team and you will see results because they care.

Expensive and unable to deliver.. while in concept they have a great facility, they do not have many actual trainers. I was duped into giving them a couple THOUSAND dollars to work with a trainer that never was actually part of the organization. It was never mentioned that the trainer in question wouldn’t be working with my dog. The ONLY reason I agreed to pay up front was after spending time with this trainer and talking about what I wanted to see happen. While everyone is super NICE.. That’s not what I was paying for. They talked about having charts to show what was worked on that day, take home info, and an end of day recap.. all of that fell short.. in other words didn’t happen or was done so poorly it didn’t matter much Several of the “trainers” were clients looking for jobs…and that’s fine.. I support and love that.. AS assistance until they learn.. I really wanted to believe in them.. and I was kinda stuck having already “prepaid”… but ultimately the entire experience fell very short of expectations. I spent a few weeks saying the most important thing I wanted to “graduate with” was a decent heel command.. and I was reassured multiple times that it would happen.. nope missed that mark too. The final “class” was canceled and never rescheduled either. I’m sure they do just fine for a lot of owners.. and if you want “fine”… Go right ahead. I’m sure they’ll take your money and you will see some results.. I have expectations when it comes to services and my standards are high. I can not recommend anyone spending their money here.
