K9 Guide Dog Training

I had my Wally do the 6 week board and train and the transformation is unbelievable. He was so dog reactive that taking him anywhere made both of us anxious messes. I had to take him to get a bath tonight and I had no worry about him. It was such a nice experience for both of us. Not only did K9 guide dog help my Wally but gave me the confidence in him and myself to make going out so much more enjoyable for both of us! I cannot express how grateful I am to the trainers and how glad I am that I sent my dog to be trained by them.

Our beautiful and sweet pit bull arrived to us as an adult with some basic training but lacked confidence around loud noises and aggressive dogs. The board and train was a game changer for us—Evan and Yana love Kyra and they treated her with such kindness and empathy while helping her gain confidence and show off all of her smarts. They both helped the whole family build a solid relationship with Kyra to really integrate her into our lives. She’s an amazing ambassador for her breed, and we’re grateful for all of the team’s work with her!!

Yana and her team worked with our dog Jakob (a Shiba Inu) and through their board and training program were able to correct his reactive behaviors. When he came home to us, his behavior was unrecognizable - he no longer bites, stays in place even when tempted by distractions, and follows commands super well. We are so thankful for all the help Yana has provided and would highly recommend her training programs!

Yana is a trainer I can trust fully with my dogs, and someone who motivates me whenever I feel like I am faltering. She is always there for support and problem solving with me, and has helped me become the owner I am today. Her love of the dogs and her passion for helping me be a better handler was something I felt from the first day we met, and the bond my dogs and I share is all the better for it.

After loads of research and checking around for reputable dog trainers, we chose K9 Guide Dog Training to be the place that we would go to for training our new Labrador puppy. Aside for the many (well deserved) glowing reviews, we felt very comfortable and confident in speaking with Yana. She was very knowledgeable, open and kind..but also someone that you could tell knew how to get the job done. Our original intent was to do in-home training. After we spoke to her, we made the choice to do the board and train. It was a difficult choice to send a 10week old puppy that we just brought home away, but we were confident that (in the end), we would get a dog that listened and followed directions It’s never too early to start teaching them and we wanted to avoid Henry learning any bad habits Throughout his time away, Henry learned how to follow directions, how to be well with time in a crate, he learned about avoiding temptations and a multitude of other great things. We were a bit concerned that he wouldn’t remember us or be the same. He was the same great pup…but with a lot more manners When he came home, our family was taught how to continue on his learning journey. Yana and Simba made sure we were prepared before he came home. We have followed up after his return and have more scheduled. K9 does not leave you ‘blowing in the wind’ after training is done. They follow through, completely Ready to help and answer questions anytime/anywhere. A lot of places say ‘we’re family now’…K9 actually makes you feel like you are. If you are looking for training, do yourself a favor and call. You won’t be sorry. Highly recommend
