K9 Development

My service dog has been with me for over 9yrs and deserves a good retirement. Finding a new trainer has been very difficult. Many people claim to be dog trainers. Only a few have actually taken and continue to take classes on new techniques and practices. Would you hire someone to teach your child who has no formal education but has been around enough people to have a good idea of what they are doing. Not only did K9 Development answer my questions but they helped me to understand I wasn't asking the right questions because I didn't fully understand what I should be asking. To put it sinply, they are good people who really care about dogs and want to make sure that your dog gets the proper training as well as the owners. You can teach a dog a tremendous amount of tasks but if the owner doesn't reinforce what was taught then the dog will not behave the way you wanted. A dog's owner needs just as much if not more than the dog itself. Awesome training plus a cool staff very deserving of 5 stars.

A mixed-style training facility that also has in-house day care and boarding. We and several of our friends have trained our dogs here and I can say without a doubt that they have figured out how to help you have a well trained and well mannered dog. You can attend group classes and train yourself, or you can have your dog board with them and be trained at the same time, I just have your dog with them while you are out on vacation. To be clear though, as a mixed style facility, they use a combination of positive reinforcement and correction. If you want only positive reinforcement for your dog, look elsewhere. That said, if you do choose to come here, you can be sure to get great results if you do your part. We'll bring all our dogs here, always.

I highly recommend this place. I took my dog there for a week for board and training while I was on vacation. Before my vacation, she was very aggressive, stubborn, and had bad behavior. I thought she was untrainable. When I came back, I was surprised by the results and how behaved I got her. It was very pricey but it was worth my money. Plus, the staff are very helpful and thorough. Amy and her staff took the time to evaluate my dog and Alex was a very helpful trainer and walked me through most of the training. I will be continuing her classes with them.
