Our young rescue dog Rayo was boarded with training for several weeks. His transformation was incredible. As guaranteed, he mastered more than a dozen commands and is now a pleasure to have in our home. The handlers course at the end of his training gave my wife and I the tools to reinforce all that Rayo has learned.

I cannot believe the change in my dig, Ethel, since her stay at K9 International. She was a rescue, very loving, but very reactive, and really hard to train. I brought her to K9 International because I needed a long term boarding place while I recovered from surgery. Before K9, Ethel barked at everyone walking by our home, everyone walking inside our home, except me, pulled constantly on walks, was afraid of strangers and other dogs, and our cat. She lacked confidence and was anxious. Ethel now tolerates our cat (mostly,) rarely barks, walks nicely, and is so confident that we were able to walk with a new neighbor and her dog, and when that dog (a huge poodle mix dog- very friendly) got a little too close, Ethel gave him a single bark to assert her personal space. She has never used her bark in a way that wasn't reactive. I'm so proud of her. We still need to practice her lessons regularly, but it's so worth the effort. I can't thank you enough.
Great place, great people. We always feel safe leaving our dog in their care.

Can’t say enough good things about the training our dog received here. The staff was excellent at answering all our questions, and kept us updated throughout the weeks as our dog attended the board and train. We dropped off a dog that we couldn’t take anywhere due to his behavior, and picked up a well manner dog that we take everywhere now without issue. It was worth every single penny and we will 100% be back when we add another dog to our family.

We've been using K9 Academy International, LLC since January 2025. We sent our puppy to them for the daycare & train program, and it was fantastic. When it was done, she was extremely well trained, and with the coaching we received from Nino and Taylor at the end of the program, we've been able to work with her since that time so she continues to be an amazing dog! We loved it so much, we continue to send our pup to doggie daycare regularly through the week, and we board her here whenever we are out of town. The team at K9 Academy are so great to work with, and they love our dog as much as we do. I can't recommend them enough!
