Dream Come True K9

Sent our 10 month old, fear aggressive shepherd to DCTK9 over a year ago. Trainers we contacted would not work with him. Others who tried said he had a chemical imbalance - send him back to breeder or put him down. Blake and his team were able to see past the smog of his anxiety to an intelligent goofball who needed consistency. They will love your dog, regardless of history, set him/her up for success, and train you, the owner. Never planned to learn so much about dog behavior, but now that I do, I highly recommend sending all puppies/dogs to DCTK9. You will not regret it.

I cannot explain how happy we are with Dream Come True K9. Blake and his team have helped our pup, Maggie, an English Bulldog, way beyond our expectations. Before coming to DCTK9, Maggie would barely take two steps down the block. Within an hour of working with Blake, she was trotting around the LES happy as a clam; and now we are able to take her on 2+ mile walks with no issues whatsoever. They have taken the time and care to train Maggie but also to train us to be able to train her! The holistic methods they use are incredible; having watched the transformation of other more reactive and aggressive dogs through their IG and FB pages as well as in person, I can say they perform miracles that other dog trainers can only dream of accomplishing (and many of whom would never take on the dogs that DCTK9 does and have the same success with). Blake's mantra of real world obedience is so simple but so effective for having a fulfilling and fun life with your dog. I can't wait to see what else we accomplish with Maggie in the future with Blake and the DCTK9 team. They have truly change our lives for the better and we owe them a huge amount of gratitude for helping us with Maggie, the energizer bunny of English Bulldogs.

I have used DCTK9's services both for training & boarding for my dog. It took me a while to find a place & team I can trust to take care of my dog while away but I finally did and can travel without worrying. My dog gets exercise, socializes with other dogs and benefits from a little refresher on his training whenever necessary. Plus I get to see his photos/videos as well. I highly recommend Blake & his team at DCTk9. Just know that in order for them to board your dog, it needs to have attended one their training programs.

Blake and his team at DTCK9 are the most professional, interested, and genuine trainers out there. Blake, Andrew and the crew consistently work to make NYC area dogs and their families happier and healthier, no matter what the problem. I've seen him take in anxious, scared, or aggressive dogs, and can only describe their process as magical. The dogs are treated with kindness and respect, to teach them the right time for play, how to live happily with children and other animals and the best demeanor for a happy and calm lifestyle. Half of the training was for me and my family to learn how to set my own relationship for success. I will take my pooches to Blake and his team for the rest of my life - as he says to me all the time: "Bad dogs need training but good dogs deserve it."
