Norah came to live with me at 1 1/2 years of age. She was very dominant and acted as though she were the pack leader of my household. It got to the point where I became afraid of her. I was left feeling hopeless. I knew deep down inside that she was a good dog and that I was actually the problem. I needed to understand her way of thinking and needed her to have faith in my ability to lead, but first I had to have faith in myself. Stefano and Candice were able to teach me how to build a bond with Norah. They helped me recognize and get ahead of her triggers, and they helped me have faith in my ability to be her leader. Learning how to properly guide her and correct her when needed was key. This program gave me confidence, but more importantly, it gave me hope.

Stefano helped us figure out how to handle our 1.5 yo Akita. We had almost given up her, but he showed us what we were doing wrong.

Stefano helped us figure out how to handle our 1.5 yo Akita. We had almost given up her, but he showed us what we were doing wrong. She doesn't pull us down the street anymore, and our day to day interaction is getting better and better. My only regret is I didn't do it sooner. 10/10. 1 month follow up. Just because we graduated doesn't mean our work is done. Asked Stefano to make a house call to help us with some issues with our Akita in our house because the dog she is in the house is different than in public. He showed us how to handle her when visitors and Amazon shows up. Now just need to keep up the training. Can't recommend enough.

Hands down the best training experience I have ever had. My two year old German Shepherd, Zeno, struggled with anxiety and leash reactivity towards people and other dogs. I could not walk him without getting pulled down and yelled at by other people. I worked with six other trainers in the past starting at six months old with little to no success. My dogs behavior was out of control and I was told the only way to help him was with medication. Feeling defeated, I didn’t think I had any other choice. That was until I found K9 Intuition. When I met Candice, I knew she was there to help me. She is a calm and confident leader who taught me how to be one as well. Over past five weeks, I have seen my dog completely transform. He is now less anxious and we both look forward to going outside on walks. I have learned so much and now have the tools to set my dog up for success in any environment. We now have the strongest bond and I understand how to communicate with him. I can’t wait for all the adventures we will now be able to go on! Candice and Stefano are both amazing people to work with. Please don’t give up on your dog! I highly recommend reaching out if you are struggling with your dogs behavior, this is place to go. Thank you for everything you have done for Zeno and me!

If you're looking to see a complete transformation for your dog, then you can trust Stefano and his team! When we took our dog Loki to the consultation, we were at our wits end because he had just been aggressive to a cat and has always been very aggressive to other animals, impossible to walk, and although super lovable with family, his high emotional state made it tough for little ones to be around him. My daughter and I were always dragged by Loki and were scared to walk him. Loki is a completely changed dog now after the 5 training sessions and we can walk him without being dragged, he has learned to stay in "place" when family comes over until he gets in the right state of mind, and his reactivity to other animals has gone WAY DOWN! We continue to work with him because we have learned how to be better dog owners! We are truly grateful to Stefano for giving us the skills and motivation to believe in ourselves for Loki's sake! STEFANO'S DOG TRAINING IS ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT!

We are extremely happy with the results from K9 Intuition Dog Training! We worked with Candice and she was fantastic - highly recommend. Our dog, (black lab - 2 years old) would pull on the lease and was very dog/people reactive out on walks. (As a puppy he had been attacked twice by two other dogs). He is the sweetest dog and we couldn't figure out how to stop the pulling/ aggressive barking behavior. This training program changed all of that for our family! Putting in the recommended training hours works. We are comfortable going out on family walks now! If you can't figure something out with your dog, I encourage you to reach out to Stefano and Candice!
