My dog, Lumi, has been training at this facility to become a service dog. I was very skeptical about leaving him for 3 weeks, but the experience here was more than delightful. I was given lots of information on what my dog would be learning and received a tour of the facility beforehand. I also received many updates and photos throughout his stay. Nikki has been Lumi’s trainer and I have seen immense progress in his learning and I am very excited to move forward into the next course. I’m so grateful for an opportunity to train at this facility and with these specific trainers. I would highly recommend going here!

We have had our great dane here for basic obedience and off leash board and train. The head trainer, Nikki, has been a god send! They have been an excellent resource for learning about and starting the process of service dog training for my wife. After consulting several training facilities, not one has been as knowledgeable as karen and her team. They are so friendly and accommodating, taking great care to walk you through each step. My wife and I don't have enough good things to say about K-9 companions nash!

Gracie is a high energy, social goldendoodle. When I first got Gracie, I was convinced that I could train her on my own. I had been researching dog training for months and even purchased dog training videos. I was able to get her to a certain point. But I was frustrated when her progress hit a wall. K-9 Companions has taken her further than I ever could have on my own. People are in awe of how well behaved she is. And have a trained dog is so much fun!

Thank you so much K9 Companions, you all are amazing!! Nikki did a fabulous job working with Bonnie teaching her the basics and home manners. I’m so impressed with how well Bonnie responded to your program, she’s a different dog!! I sincerely appreciate all the handouts, book, and videos given to us to help navigate this process. We can’t wait to start our off leash training!! Thanks again!!
