Fort K-9

Rina has trained all 3 of my Shepards over the last 10 years. She understands dog psychology, meeting each of their needs. One of my dogs was untrusting with strangers and a bit aggressive. He needed rehabilitation, and she turned him around! She then taught me how to do my part to keep the training going. Her patience with dogs, and their human, was impressive! Her new facility is amazing and is such a fun place for dogs!

Quinn came into our lives as a one-year-old rescue and remained with us until he passed at 10 years old. He was a powerful 75-pound mixed-breed dog with a big heart—and, at times, big challenges. Walking him was difficult; he would pull hard and charge at other dogs, using all his strength. Then Rina came into our lives, and everything changed. Quinn boarded with Rina for two weeks, and when he returned home, he was truly transformed. He sat and lay down on command, walked calmly at heel, and was noticeably more relaxed and well-behaved. Just as importantly, Rina took the time to train my wife and me, helping us understand how to communicate with Quinn in a way that earned his trust and respect and allowed us to maintain his progress. Over the years, we continued to travel and happily boarded Quinn with Rina many times. Quinn absolutely adored her—so much so that when I dropped him off, he never once looked back. He knew he was safe, loved, and in good hands. When I told Rina that Quinn had passed, she cried with us. That moment said everything about who she is. I wholeheartedly recommend Rina to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pet. She is an outstanding trainer, deeply compassionate. She became not only a trusted caregiver, but a true friend to Quinn and to our family.

Our family has known Rina since 2020 when she trained our rescue pittie, Bella, who was 2yrs old and surrendered as a stray. Rina is an amazing trainer, passionate, patient and above all dedicated. She takes time explaining how to reinforce what she teaches and we have had our furbaby board with her many times over the years. Bella loves Rina and we recommend their services and care 100%. Rest assured you will be in excellent hands.

To Rina………. I cannot say enough great things about this trainer. She is truly outstanding at what she does. Her knowledge of dog behavior and training techniques is incredible, and it's clear she has been working with dogs for a very long time. She is extremely hands-on, patient, and takes the time to make sure both the dog and the owner fully understand each step of the training process. She is friendly, approachable, and genuinely loyal to her clients and their pets. You can instantly tell she loves all animals and treats every dog as if it were her own. Her skills are amazing— she doesn't just train dogs, she builds confidence, trust, and lasting results. She is always helpful, willing to answer questions, and goes above and beyond to ensure success. She is always helpful, willing to answer questions, and goes above and beyond to ensure success. If you're looking for someone who is experienced, caring, professional, and truly passionate about animals, I highly recommend her. She is hands-down one of the best dog trainers out there. Rina, thanks again for all that you have done for my pack, woof woof, David.
