Cooperative K9

We've been training both of our dogs with Brian since shortly after adopting each of them. The amount of progress that they have made since they both have begun training is amazing. All training is positive reinforcement and I think signing up for training is one of the best decisions we've made for our dogs outside of adopting them. I'd recommend anyone to give Cooperative K9 a try. They will give you an honest evaluation of what type of training would benefit your dog and you (training is also for the people who are working on improving the quality of life for their dog.

Absolute no from me. I was out earlier this evening with my boyfriend and 5 month old puppy. We had been sitting and eating for about 15 minutes when trainer Bryan Mitchell came up on the side of us with an off leash dog that he was training and proceeded to play fetch with the dog, and have it stand on a fire hydrant for about 45 minutes. He did not once ask us if our dog was ok around other dogs or if we were comfortable with him doing this. My puppy became very upset and while loudly discussing this and my dissatisfaction that the trainer refused to acknowledge us (after clearly seeing and hearing our pup) we decided that we had to leave dinner early. Every other person who interacted with us and our dog was able to ask our and our dogs comfort level, but a PROFESIONAL couldn’t? That is absolutely ridiculous. If you want a disrespectful trainer who refuses to acknowledge boundaries this is the place to go. And Brian… next time don’t wear a company logo or just use your beautiful and ample indoor space to teach these tricks.
