I absolutely love the K-9 team. I have 2 rescues. The first one needed help due to his past mistreatment. Ryan worked with him privately and now he is a confident and well behaved dog. Crystle is working with my new girl and she is already behaving so much better. The K-9 center is doing great work for out best friends including fostering and handler instruction. The "day care" socialization program has really helped both my dogs and we have enjoyed the classes too. Take your dog to them, you won't regret it.

"He's smart, forthcoming, and willful" was Ryan's assessment of my very wild puppy, Bodie. “What does that mean? “, I asked. The answer: “Bodie is smart, he knows what he wants, and he's stubborn”.

"He's smart, forthcoming, and willful" was Ryan's assessment of my very wild puppy, Bodie. “What does that mean? “, I asked. The answer: “Bodie is smart, he knows what he wants, and he's stubborn”. Things I couldn’t see through Bodie’s uncontrollable, constant flurry of motion. At K9 Enrichment center, Ryan and Crystle helped Bodie learn to calm down and make good decisions. To this day he makes good decisions. Now, at almost five years old, Bodie is kind, calm, and exceptionally well-balanced, even around strangers and other dogs. Things we only dreamed he could be. When visiting a new daycare center anywhere in the country, he sometimes receives the greatest compliment, “Bodie has very good dog manners”. We are so proud of him. He’s like the Golden Retriever of Terriers! All thanks to the K-9 Enrichment center, Ryan, and Crystle. Someday I hope to be writing a similar review for Ande, our newest, greatest challenge. In their hands, she has already come a long way. Thank you so much for the love, care, and knowledge you have always shared with our pups. And by proxy, making us better pup parents. ❤️Carole

Brodie LOVES going to the day program and boarding. The team is great with him and he loves them. They have worked through some of his behaviors and he is a better behaved pup.

We have been sending our dog to Ryan and Crystal at K9Enrichment centre for more than 5 years. They are really wonderful people. My doggy enjoys his days spent at the centre with them and socializing with all the other pups. Ryan is a great dog trainer and is able to address behavioral problems or just general basic training. His knowledge and experience is evident. He also boards with them at their home when we need to go out of town. Tbh I'm not sure what we would do without them. It's such a pleasure to know that our doggy is safe, happy and being well cared for by them whilst we travel. They love him and he loves them and their gorgeous doggies. I highly recommend this doggy daycare / enrichment centre.

Ryan and Crystle have been working with our six-year-old Goldendoodle Shelby since she was a puppy. She responds well to their kind but consistent approach to training, and they have developed a great relationship with her over the years. She attends day training once a week and we board her with them when we’re out of town. We would highly recommend the K9 Enrichment Center to anyone needing training for their dog or a consistent safe place for their dog to socialize during the day.
