We took our Cavaliers to K-9 for the beginner obedience training & it was a fabulous experience. The tips we learned along with true hands-on methods were very helpful. The instructor, Kat, was wonderful, patient & kind. Most people don’t take smaller dogs for obedience training & I found Kat to be helpful with our 2 Cavies as well as the other larger dogs in the group sessions. Highly recommended for all breeds & levels.

I just picked my girls up after a 2 week board and train program and I absolutely appreciate that this place exits. They were available on short notice while my family is in the middle of a big move and provided us with patient, reliable, and flexible care. Maxwell is an angel with my dogs and everyone I met during each visit was just amazing. So glad to have them and to be able to continue working with them.

Kat is a wonderful, experienced and patient trainer- she's awesome! We learned a lot during the six week puppy course, and will be coming back for more training!

I recently attended a puppy class at K9 Tail Shakers, and it was a fantastic experience. Instructor Kat was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, making the sessions both informative and enjoyable. This was my second time using their services, and once again, they exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended for anyone looking to train their furry friend!

Everyone at K9 Tailshakers was great, they take the time to train both your dog and yourself to teach your pup obedience and good behavior. Troopers trainer Kat really took her time to explain the right and wrong ways to train him (he’s a high drive Belgian Malinois/ Dutch Shepherd and can be stubborn at times) I highly recommend them
