Intelligent K9 Dog Training

Without a doubt, I recommend Intelligent K9 dog training because it helped us have the dog that we dreamt of having. Maisy is a Mini Aussie Doodle that we got when she was 13 weeks old. We tried for months to correct bad habits ourselves, but we finally had enough when she was about 7 months old. We thought about rehoming her, but that just didn't sit right with us. House training was a major problem, barking in the middle of the night caused so many sleepless nights, and not following any of our commands was very frustrating. CJ changed all of this for us with just 7 sessions. Shockingly, we were pleased with Maisy's progress after just one session so I couldn't imagine what 6 more sessions would do for us. We now have a professionally trained 10 month old puppy that we enjoy and adore as a part of our family. Maisy is the companion that I needed and was looking for all this time, we both just needed professional dog training. Get with CJ and all your doggy troubles will go away just like ours did.

Logan is a 3-year old BMC and Catahoula mix who was very dog and people reactive. When we had our consultation with CJ, Logan would not sit still. He was whiny and pacing back and forth. In our first class, I was worried that he was going to act up and not listen. But by the end of the first session, he was calm and performing the commands without any fuss. It was like a totally different dog. I’m so thankful for the guidance I received from CJ. What I’ve gained is to be a good leader, have clearer communication, and set boundaries to help Logan become the dog that I envisioned. I would recommend CJ to anyone who needs help achieving whatever goal they have with their dog.

I started with a 9 month old German Shepard puppy. I am the third (last) owner. I quickly understood why. I needed help. Wolfie was easily excited and very reactive to anything including people, children, or other animals. Wolfie would charge out the door, pull on the leash while walking. He would pull so hard he would walk on his hind legs and bark excessively if another dog was around. Wolfie would not listen or was unable to recall. He would not sit or lay down unless it involved a treat. He would nip or mouth while trying to put on a leash. Me and my family were frustrated and not sure what to do. That's where intelligent k9 and CJ come in. I considered three trainers in the richmond area. I spoke with CJ and after our consultation, I felt comfortable with my choice. I appreciated the one on one training and undivided attention. It is a great location to train and allows you to work through real life situations.. The instructions are very clear and CJ was there to walk you through each step. Wolfie has become a great part of our family. We are able to walk side by side with no pulling, no barking. He has become patient in walking out the door and is well mannered waiting for me to walk out and sits while I close and lock the door. He listens to recalls immediately and returns quickly. I am able to send wolfie to a place or kennel from distance. I am able to place wolfie and walk away to answer the front door. Im not sure I can give enough credit here to what we've accomplished.The improvements are endless and I would not have believed the level we have gotten to before we started this training. I highly recommend CJ.

My husband and I adopted a dog from the SPCA last summer, and he came to us with anxiety, stranger and dog aggression. Jethro barked at everything that moved, and would pull me out of my wheelchair if he saw another person or dog when I took him out for walks. In 3 weeks, Jethro has stopped barking at other dogs/people, and he listens to our directions like an Angel! He is like a completely different dog, and we are only halfway through the training program. 100%, CJ is an incredible trainer, and I will recommend him to anyone!

I can't say enough about how great CJ is! We adopted a Pitbull from the shelter and was ready to bring him back after a few months because we were lost as to what to do (I have owned a Pit before but not like this one). He had separation anxiety, would get aggressive if we tried to play with him, was destructive in the house, acted dog aggressive and dragged us every where. We were in over our heads. We got with CJ and now we have the perfect dog within a few months. He has done a full 180 from when we got him and is a calm and happy dog now. We are so thankful and love our dog to pieces! CJ taught us how to communicate with him and how to handle him with all his issues. CJ really tailored the training program to meet all of our dogs specific needs and trained us on what we needed to do. CJ is amazing and we highly recommend him! So don't give up on your dog or suffer with misbehavior just call CJ!
