K9 Revolution

Jon and his team were absolutely amazing during the entire training process! My dog had a lot of reactivity and aggression towards other people and dogs. I was feeling pretty defeated when I brought Mac in for his training program. During the time he was there I got updates and videos showing his progress. When I went to pick him up I was nervous about how he would do with me but Michelle and Jon showed me how to handle him on walks and even in the car. After years of horrible car rides , barking at passing cars jumping from the front seat to the back etc. my dog actually fell asleep on the car ride home and I was shocked. Since he’s been home we’ve gone on lots of walks already and I no longer fear my dog when we are out on walks. He’s walks right beside me and listens and hasn’t tried lunging at people , dogs, cars etc. seriously a night and day difference and I could not be more impressed with the work they did with him. This whole process showed me that with good training your dog is always worth it. The time, the money, the effort all of it. I wish I would have done this so much sooner. Thank you guys so much for your hard work and patience with Mac!

We sent our 7 year old terrier to the 2 week board and train program with Jon. He had some reactivity and was resource guarding me which wasn't a good combo with a toddler at home! It felt like a long 2 weeks without him at home but we got daily updates and videos. He worked with both Jon and Michelle. Upon arriving back home, his reactivity is so much less problematic and his listening had improved drastically! He also potties on command which is nice.

I want to start this off by saying my dog was a rescue and definitely wasn’t treated well before I got her, I know she is difficult. I talked to John and he seemed like a decent and understanding person, but I don’t feel like my dog and I received the care and training that we were promised. For $2,800 dollars I expected results and the very least some improvement, but my dog has been out of control ever since I brought her there. When I dropped her off she was hyper and jumping on John and he immediately told me that was a zero tolerance behavior and she would never do it again. First thing she does when I pick her up is jump right on me like she always did and he says “oh wow we didn’t see that”. She was signed up for the 14 day course and he even kept her for an extra 2 days because she wasn’t ready and up to his standards, but I got her back she was still not up to his standards. I also told them about her fear of getting her nails cut and he said they would give her a trim and help ease her anxiety. She is now way more afraid of it and clearly that didn’t go well while she was there. He told me it would take 3 months and she’d be well behaved, but it’s now been 6 months and she hasn’t improved. I’ve been working with her for over an hour a day and doing everything he told me to do. Her training collar has been on for every single walk since I got her back and it hasn’t stopped her from pulling on the leash or lunging at other dogs. I was also promised a follow up session in December that I never heard back from them about and to this day I have not received any sort of follow up communication even after he knew she was a handful. I understand that she is difficult, but I was told many stories about dogs way worse behaved than her that he had gotten under control and was promised that if I paid the money I would get the same results. This hasn’t happened and this purchase has been one of the biggest regrets I have with her. I really wish this training was what they said it would be.

K9 Revolutions owners Jonathan and Michelle have saved our family. My wife and I have a five year-old Australian Kelpie and a 6 month old puppy American Bulldog mix. Our older dog had been attacked several times by very large dogs at the dog park. As a result she started to become very protective over my wife and I. When we introduced an 11week old puppy to the household she was not happy and started to have more aggressive possessive tendencies. Training the puppy became extremely difficult while trying to keep them from fighting with each other. There were many unwanted behaviors that both dogs developed and they became unruly and created situations that felt extremely unsafe for the dogs or us. This culminated in a horrific fight between them late one night. Luckily neither dog was bit or required any medical attention, but if my wife and I didn't intervene I'm not sure both dogs would have made it out without injury or or worse. My wife spent the rest of the night researching the best trainers around to help us. It was right before the holidays early on a Sunday and Jonathan and Michelle not only answered, they let us bring our dogs down the same day to start training!! They were full too and out of the kindness of their hearts and the desperation of our situation, they took our fur babies in for training. We dropped them 2 weeks to work on the issue between the two dogs. Jonathan and Michelle would regularly send us videos of the progress our fur babies were making I was so impressed that with the progress each time. They had made vast improvement by day 2. K-9 Revolution trained each dog separately and together to build their independent confidence and to understand they are part of the same pack. When we went to pick them up we were amazed. Both Michelle and Jonathan met with us and worked with us to continue the new training they had learned. We were so impressed because not only did they work on aggressive behavior training, the little one had puppy training, the older one had post trauma work, they broke bad behaviors, leash behavior, play behaviors, and so much more. We were so impressed!!!!! We were AMAZED!!!! Who were these dogs? They were under excellent voice control and followed all of these new commands. The real test would be when we got home. When we did, it took a day or two for us and the dogs to adjust to the new rules and verbage, but with the use the new training we all received things have become so PEACEFUL and WONDERFUL. Our dogs are now under voice control, follow the rules (the puppy is still a puppy, but she knows the rules, she just is playful sometimes). Both dogs are happy because there are clear expectations, common body language and common spoken commands. We couldn't have asked for more. However, there is more to come. As part of the training Jonathan and Michelle will be coming to our house to ensure things are going well and to provide any tips and support that may be needed. What a helpful and thoughtful wraparound service to ensure that the new behaviors transferred to home environment. They also host groups on Saturdays. The best part, they are your partners in training for the duration of your dog's life. What an amazing service. Who could ask for more. We can't!!! If I could give them 10 stars I would!!!! If you need any type of training for your dogs, this K-9 Revolution is the the place!!!!! We are eternally grateful for K-9 Revolution and the help of Jonathan and Michelle!!!!!
