We are so grateful for Foundation K9! Our dog was afraid of everything. She didn’t like new people or other dogs. After her 4 weeks of training at Foundation K9, we are able to walk her in public with no problems! She will interact with new people and allow them to pet her. That is a HUGE accomplishment for her. We will continue working with her on the training she received to allow her sweet personality to shine through. Foundation K9 was a game changer for us and we would highly recommend them!!!

Our dogs came home after a month with deceased anxiety, great manners, and more obedient and socialized than we could have ever hoped for! The trainers and owners truly cared for our dogs. Best decision ever!!

I am not exaggerating when I say that the work they did with our dog is life changing. We would have to avoid certain places or areas in case there were other dogs, or sometimes wait to take him for a walk in the neighborhood simply to avoid other dogs. Now we can go wherever and whenever we want. He is able to ignore other animals and people. Remy showed the care and patience that we were hoping for and in 6 short weeks changed how our dog behaves on his leash and in public. Highly recommend and worth every cent!

We had such an amazing experience with Foundation K9. Before training, my Winnie pulled on the leash like a sled dog and jumped all over anyone she met. Being in public was exhausting and overwhelming. Now she walks beautifully on leash, keeps her composure around people, and is genuinely a joy to take anywhere. We constantly get compliments on how well behaved she is, especially for her young age. The trainers were patient and truly cared about her progress. The difference in her confidence and obedience is night and day. I can’t recommend them enough!

Can't comment on effectiveness at this time. I would like to acknowledge the Professionalism they showed and hope they gave my husband who brought in our very reactive, fearful Dog with aggression. They did the assessment, and we were fully vested and comfortable with their boarding program. Unortunately, we have had to put this on hold for for now. It is very expensive, as all of these programs are. Of course, there is no reference regarding effectiveness, but we would trust them to help.
