What people have asked about this business.

I have a 22 month old rottie that needs to be trained she is starting to grawl at people and wants to bite them this has just started about a week ago

Hi , initially I start with a consult with each dog at my facility to meet the dog in person so we can customize a training program accordingly, give us a call at the facility to set that up. Thanks Matt 401.640.0626

Did a great job with Phoebe. Life is much easier if your pet actually behaves. Much thanks to the great peeps at K-9 INSTINCTS.

I recently just picked up my 1y/o German Shepherd from Matt and Brittany. They do amazing work and train the dogs sent to them in a way where they don't lose their personality but the obedience changes completely! Ace is still a happy and goofy pup but I have his full attention whenever I need him to listen. I feel more confident when I have him at the park and even around the house because I know how well K9 Instinct trained him. I have to admit, at first I was very skeptical because I was nervous and didn't want Ace to be gone for three weeks but the difference it made has only been positive. I highly recommend sending your dog over to K9 if they need some obedience training. Thanks for everything Matt and Brittany!

I would like to have my 10 month old puppy trained by them but didn't want to leave her alone in a kennel overnight. She didn't like being crated. I was willing to drop her off early in the morning and pick her up in the evening for 2 weeks. I understand the reason. But wish they were more flexible

Best training facility around! My rescue Chihuahua was just a scared little guy before going here. Now he's happy,confident, very well behaved and I proudly take him everywhere with me! Thank you K9 Instincts for giving my guy the life he deserves!
