Dream Come True K9

We've done 2 private sessions at DCTK9 and the difference it made is staggering. Our dog used to be so terrified to go outside she would be and shake and we had to carry her downstairs. Now, she is excited to go for walks and sits by the door when she sees the leash. She pulled SO hard on the leash going for walks were miserable now we do long multi-mile walks because she's right at my side, following MY direction and on a loose leash. I can't recommend this place and all the trainers enough they saved us. They truly teach you how to understand and communicate with your dog so that any problem that comes up isn't starting over, you use the tools and system you already know to tackle it. When new behavior problems arise, we go back to the communication and principles we learned to correct the new problem. I also learned a ton from following them on IG!!

Blake, Andrew + the entire DCTK9 team have significantly changed our lives.  After our naturally docile English Bulldog experienced a traumatic moment with a stranger on the street, his behavior was forever changed. We visited countless trainers and specialists, most of whom only provided ineffective solutions or in one case the conclusion that he was beyond repair (yes really!).  We had lost hope when I had reached out to Blake who spent multiple phone sessions explaining my options and providing advice. After much convincing on Blake’s behalf, I finally agreed to let our boy Herman attend a five (5) week board & train. I’ll never forget seeing a video on Facebook of him listening to commands we never even knew he was capable of understanding. We couldn’t wait to pick him up and see this new dog who was indeed forever changed for the good. Since then, DCTK9 has been our daily walker and serves as our boarding facility when we are out of town. By utilizing them for these services I know that not only is Herman in a safe environment but he is also getting active training while there. I do not have to worry about any “incidents” occurring in my absence since everyone on the team is familiar with how to handle him and his triggers. My husband still can’t get over that while he starts panicking within blocks of the vet, he willingly sprints inside the facility, anxious to say hello and have a sleepover with his “friends” : )

Blake and the entire DCTK9 team are hands down the best in the dog training business! From the stellar customer service when dealing with their clients to the more obvious, results you’ll see within your dog. I live 4 1/2 hours away but when it came to training my dog, the right way, going to dream come true k9 was a no brainer. My dog was never a “troubled” dog but the skill set Blake was able to instill within my dog is what makes my dog so well mannered and honestly perfect (could be a bit biased haha). Nevertheless, I would highly recommend this organization for training your dog, whether you’re having specific problems or just want your puppy to learn the right way, the first time. Thank you DCTK9!
