5/5

I have been so impressed with the entire team at K-9 Kudos so far. Doreen and Rachel were patient and understanding with both my puppy and I even though he’s easily distracted during class, they made me feel comfortable. My Sheldon loves going to puppy socialization days and I feel safe leaving him in their care. I’m looking forward to continuing our training in the coming months.

Before we got our baby we knew we were going to need a trainer. We spent considerable time researching trainers and training facilities in the Wichita and surrounding area and always found ourselves drawn to K-9 Kudos (even AFTER getting referrals to other facilities). We started our baby in Puppy Life Skills 1 at 9 weeks old and we are so pleased with the training and education we have received. The classes provided great direction, demonstrations, and individual attention. We were also provided with a very detailed booklet that contained all the information covered in classes and much more! The facilities were clean, well maintained and very dog friendly. Doreen and her team know Dogs and how to train and understand Dogs (and their people). Our baby has learned very quickly with the skills she learned from K-9 Kudos and is now enrolled in “Well Mannered Pooch II” and we are excited about getting started! If you are looking for a place you can feel comfortable to learn and become educated with your Dog, K-9 Kudos is the home for you!

I would highly recommend K-9 Kudos to anyone who is nervous about picking a place to train you and your pup! The atmosphere at K-9 Kudos put me at ease about the care and attention of my dog. Friendly, happy and fun. The classes were well organized, with clear, easy to understand instructions and then plenty of time to practice the commands with my dog. I especially love “puppy playtime” on Fridays. I think my dog really looks forward to going and comes home happy and satisfied. I’m so glad I picked K-9 Kudos for my “doggie education.”

Doreen and her staff truly care about each individual dog and their humans. They adapt things to make it work for each family and show a lot of compassion and knowledge!

Doreen and her staff were very knowledgeable and professional! My puppy and I were in the Obedience Training class. It really helped my chocolate lab and myself on our communication skills! I would recommend K-9 Kudos to anyone who is a puppy owner!
