Honorable K9

This summer we adopted a 2.5- to 3-year-old St. Bernard from a local humane society and after she settled into her new home and got more comfortable with us, her new pet parents, we started to see a lot of reactionary behaviors on full display - constant barking at anything that moved - people, other pets, bicyclists, etc., and her running the length of the yard back-and-forth anytime the aforementioned went by our house. In researching area dog trainers who also did boarding, we found Honorable K-9 and the owner, whom we now refer to as "Uncle Tyler." We signed up our Saint for the two-week board and train program, and we are so glad we did! As she's a big girl who seemingly went through a lot in her first couple years before we rescued her, she ended up needing a bit more time with Tyler. All-in she spent about 3.5 weeks there (with no additional charge), learning how to walk calmly, to sit and wait/stay on command, and not bark and run at everything that moved. What a relief! We loved our sweet girl before sending her to Uncle Tyler's, but she was certainly a handful. Upon her return to us, these past few months have been wonderful. We highly recommend Honorable K-9 and couldn't be happier with the price point for the board and train program, as well as the way in which Tyler trained our beloved pet. Side benefit is that Honorable K-9 offers free Saturday "classes" in area parks to help pets he's trained continue to fine tune their newly learned skills and commands. A 5-star experience all the way! Thanks, Honorable K-9 and Uncle Tyler!

My experience with Tyler at Honorable K9 was 100% worth every penny. I was honestly skeptical that my dog’s reactivity and behavior issues could be improved in just 4 sessions, but Tyler assured me that he could help and he delivered on his promise. I was blown away by the progress we had made in just one session and today after finishing our last private session Finn has made so much progress. He walks so much better, has much better manners in the house, and has come a long way with his reactivity. Tyler’s approach is relaxed and encouraging, coaching both the dog and the owner. He’s personable and clearly cares about creating a positive experience for both. He gives you the right tools and teaches you how to use them effectively. The free group classes available to all graduates are a huge perk and I look forward to continue working with Honorable K9 as we participate in those. Great trainer with great results. Highly recommend!

If you want someone with years of hands on work with various breeds and behavioral challenges Alex is your guy. Alex has always gone above and beyond when explaining his methods, goals, and what you can expect in a way that is easy to understand. His empathy for the dogs has always made me feel comfortable working with. He recognizes that each dog learns at their own pace and one-size-fits-all methods rarely work. We highly recommend Alex if you are looking for a highly knowledgeable trainer.
