DLC Dog Training

I can’t recommend these trainers enough. My dogs behavior is unrecognizable from what it was before. Before he would drag me on a leash and now he walks off leash. This training really helped the relationship for me and my dog. He is much more enjoyable to be around and to take places. Aside from their training, they go above and beyond to make sure you and your dog are taken care of. It’s Such a well run business that you can trust.

We were really struggling with our puppy, Calcifer, who has bad fear based reactivity and has a lot of anxiety (especially around new people and other dogs). We did the puppy board and train for two months. Though we missed our boy, he came back so improved!! The training was extremely effective, and we learned that Calcifer needs to have a job to reduce his anxiety. We have learned so much through this training and have also used what we have learned on our other dog. We highly recommend Citron K9!!!! Calcifer is also so much more confident and eager to learn new tricks. We can actually take him places without him freezing in anxiety.

I’ll start by saying that I’m writing this review with much positivity and optimism in mind. I say that because I feel that I’ve finally found “trainers” (Donnie and his wife Kasey work as a team) that not only I trust to help with training my dog but that can “train” me also. In the past throughout numerous calls to trainers I’ve struggled to talk to folks that I feel are truly experts in their field and it did not take long for me to realize that these folks are truly that - experienced EXPERTS in the art of all types of training. That statement goes two ways. There are places you can send your dog to board and train and there are places that can carefully with you, instruct you how to train your dog. I say confidently that Cintron K9, can do both! There’s also lots of places that don’t have nearly the experience nor expertise. If you want to send your pup/dog to a truly professional and turn key place that can take your dog into their home - train them and turn them back over to you… that’s them. If you’re like me - zero training or new to beginner obedience training and want to be a part of the advanced process well….. this is Cintron K9 also. I am that person, I have a three year old GSD who has been a part of my family for three years. She’s bonded with all of us and to be honest, I couldn’t stomach being without her in our home for a board and train period. That’s where their option for in-person lessons has suited myself, our GSD and my family perfectly. You can shorten your training process with their board and train but again, I wanted to be a part of the training to truly understand the ins and outs. Since getting Cersie, I’ve found that she loves training and I love training with her. After one call with Donnie, I knew that’s where I wanted to continue our work. Not with a specific purpose in mind but rather to just continue advancing Cersie into the best that she can be and the best that I can be. If you have specific types of training in mind - they can tailor their efforts to that. A word of caution to those that choose the in person lessons that I chose - be ready to work. This training is not for those that are not willing to go home and not continue to do their homework and work with their dog. This takes effort, daily. If you’re willing to put in that work, you can expect exceptional results but you are involved in the process just as much as Cintron K9. They aren’t just giving you training instruction to train your dog - YOU need training as well! At least I did ;)! So regardless of the path you want to take to make the most of your relationship with your dog - please give Cintron K9 a chance to earn your business. You will not be disappointed. Their attention to detail, explanation and dog training knowledge is second to none!

I would give them 10 stars if I could. We had a rebellious toddler mastiff on our hands. We had tried in home training and it was not working. So glad I found them to do board and train. Doug has come back with confidence and lost his toddler attitude. After having him home the first day I need some clarification on some of the training. They were quick to answer my phone call and made sure I knew exactly what to do. I highly recommend them for any dogs training.
