K9 Unified | Expert Dog Training and Board & Train Programs

We consider ourselves lucky to have known Dan for several years. We have been just as fortunate to be working with Heather and Kaitlyn. Over the years, we have brought 4 dogs for training. Dan and his team exceeded our expectations every time. Our confidence and comfort in managing problems or behaviors increased after each training session. They are very clear on what they have worked on each day so that we have success at home. Thanks to the K9U team, we’ve become more dependable leaders that our dogs trust for direction and consistency.   We now have dogs we love walking, having guests over, and a calmer home environment. Our dogs LOVE going there whether it be for training or playgroup. Dan shows the same care and attention to each dog as he would to his own. I can’t recommend Dan and his K9 Unified team enough!

We could not recommend K9 Unified enough! Dan and the whole team at K9 Unified were absolutely amazing! We have a very anxious pup and his increased anxious behaviors over the past year impacting our life in major ways. He could not sit down or relax at all, he hid constantly for no reason (sometimes in very dangerous places), and even would jump on tables/kitchen counters. I was a skeptic but after 3 weeks with Dan we now are sitting on our couch while our confident pup sits on his cot by us with a new ability to exist all on his own. Dan was so kind and loving towards our dog and truly did the impossible with him. Throughout the 3 week training program Dan taught not only Wrigley but also taught us how to properly live with an anxious pup. Dan is so incredibly skilled and we cannot thank him enough for giving us our life back and for giving Wrigley a new found joy! If you are in debate on taking this step with your dog, trust me.. It's worth it.

We had such a great experience with Dan and the K9 team. Our dog left us an energetic, mischievous dog that was jumpy and mouthy. After spending time at K9, he's become more confident, obedient, and calm. I cannot say enough good things about Dan and the care he took with our dog, working with us all along the way to make sure we were all working towards the same goal. It's hard to know who to trust with your dog, and our experience yields a ringing endorsement of K9 Unified

We had an a wonderful experience with Dan and his team! They worked with our six year old Labrador to instill some manners he was lacking. The difference is amazing. My husband and I felt comfortable entrusting the staff with our dog throughout the two week day program. They demonstrated their understanding of our dog's personality by catering to his specific needs and preferences. He looked forward to being dropped off every day and excitedly greeted trainers and staff. I felt bad for our dog when the program was over because he loved going so much. My brother's dog was trained here in the board and train program. We researched programs throughout Massachusetts and northern Connecticut before deciding to work with K9 Unified. We liked the positive reinforcement approach, the expertise and professionalism of the team, and the clear passion for dogs that was apparent in their approach. They gave us tools to continue the work outside of the training environment and we are confident that we have a wonderful resource if we have questions. We plan to use their services for future dogs because once we experienced a trained well-mannered dog, there is no going back!

Dan is wonderful! All of the major issues we were having at home were resolved within 4 sessions. And what was even more satisfying was that Dan gave us the clear guidance, but we were the ones actually teaching our dog so we earned her respect along the way. We can honestly say within our household environment, we have the dog we dreamed of. We are planning to do the day program next to work on her dog social skills so we can have the dog we dream of outside the home too! Wish we would’ve found Dan sooner.
