Adam and Carly are great, professional, and so knowledgeable about dog training. Our Rottweiler has made great strides within the sessions we’ve had with them and when we progressed to testing our limits at the dog park or public outings, my pup did so well and they were always around to create a safe space for him to train. Their training WORKS! And we always get a little bit of training when we have to board our doggy which helps reinforce his training while we’re away which helps a lot because our pup does well with a structured routine. Highly recommend!

We enrolled our dog, Blue, in the 4-week training program with Katz K9, and the results have exceeded our expectations. Blue also receives four follow-up sessions after the initial training, which has been incredibly valuable for reinforcing progress and setting us up for long-term success. During the program, Blue showed major improvements in leash walking, recall, and his sit and down positions. Beyond the visible behavior changes, Katz K9 equipped us with practical tools and clear guidance so we can confidently continue training at home. Blue has improved in every area we were hoping for, and the experience was well-structured, professional, and effective from start to finish. We would highly recommend Katz K9 to anyone looking for real, lasting results with their dog.

Adam is beyond knowledgeable and gets to know the wants and needs of each dog and their trainer. He helped me understand my dog, Mauna better, which in turn has only deepened our bond. I highly recommend him for training! **Training is an on going thing. It is up to the owner to continue to execute and maintain the skills Adam shows you.

I chose a 6 week board and train for my anxious sensitive 3 year old Australian Shepherd. The behaviors I wanted corrected were pulling on the leash, barking at anything he hears/sees, jumping on my guests, and improve his ability to calm himself down. Once the board and train was finished, Adam & Carly gave me all the knowledge and tools to continue practicing my dog’s newly learned behaviors at home. I’m very impressed the unwanted behaviors have been corrected. I feel more confident handling my dog. I can see that my dog has developed a confidence with himself. I feel like choosing Katz K9 set my dog up for success and him and I are on the road to mastering his obedience. Keep in mind that asking for help is a power move. A good trainer can really help you see that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Why I chose Katz K9: I spent many days researching board and train programs. I wasn’t leaning towards Katz K9 at first but decided to see it through and schedule an evaluation. I was won over by Adam almost immediately. Adam’s knowledge and ability to explain his training system NePoPo was clear and precise. If you’ve taken any type of psychology class then it’s clear that NePoPo is a through and through system for training. I left the evaluation feeling excited for my dogs results. I felt reassured my dog will be safe and well taken care of and I left feeling like Adam and I are on the same page about my dog.

My German Shepherd was so aggressive toward people that for 1/5 year, I could not have any friends over to my place. I was so hesitant to even take him out for potty and afraid he would pull me and run after people. He had another trainer for 8 months and absolutely no result. I contacted Adam and Carly out of desperate as they were my last resort otherwise I would have to stop having people or traveling because of him. After 6 weeks of board and train, I absolutely see the progress while we are still getting training with the follow up sessions and My GSD loves Carly so I can board him while I am traveling. you can 100% trust the amazing Katz training.
