I can’t recommend Adam enough as a dog trainer! I have a 3-year-old male Rottweiler, and Adam has been absolutely phenomenal for us. He takes his time, clearly explains each step, and really teaches you how to build a strong relationship with your dog. Adam emphasizes the importance of creating a plan with discipline, structure, and consistency, which has made a huge difference for my dog, Juda, and me. It’s clear that Adam is a true dog lover, and he genuinely works to set his clients up for success. Juda loves him, and we’ve seen amazing progress. Thank you, Adam!

Adam and Carly are amazing! You can see the love and passion they have for what they do. My husky (Rocky) recently finished his training with them and we couldn’t have had a better experience! In the consultation, Adam made to sure to give us as much information as possible and answer any questions we had. They took the time to understand what we were looking for as well as what Rocky needed. Throughout the training there were updates with pictures and/or videos. When it was pick up time, both Adam and Carly made sure to explain everything very well to set us up for success. They not only explained but also showed to make sure there was no confusion. They gave all the tools necessary for you and your pet to continue to succeed. I am amazed how much difference there is in my dog’s behavior. You won’t be disappointed!

We did the 5-week program with our 10-year-old Aussie and 2-year-old Pittie mix. They both have had reactivity, barrier aggression and anxiety issues and needed some serious intervention after an animal control scare with our Pittie. Adam and Carly really made us feel confident that there was potential to change course for both our dogs and create a more fulfilled life for our dogs and ourselves. We were unsure that our older dog would be able to course correct this late in life, but Adam and Carly have given her the opportunity to maximize her later years. We feel that they really saw and understood our dogs and their individual learning styles and needs. Once we got them back it was a short adjustment period, and we started seeing big changes within a couple days. Overall, they are much more relaxed and content dogs that understand and respond to our communication with them now, it has alleviated probably 50% of our daily stress trying to manage our own dogs and failing. We now get six follow up sessions from the package and we are so excited to build upon the foundation they laid for us. We also know that we will have facility and trainers we can trust our dogs with, which is huge for our peace of mind when we are away from them. If you're unsure about this program, we recommend the in-person session to start. Their philosophies are simple and logical, they will help you apply it and are super communicative if you ever have questions, situational or otherwise. We learned so much just from a one-two hour session and we were both excited to walk away and use what we learned. Thank you both for helping us take this step, renewing our relationship with them and for taking care of our Kona Bean and Moosie Goose.

Honestly I’m not even sure where to start. Adam and Carly are literally our life savers when it comes to our boys. We’ve been going to them for over 3 years now. We started with our oldest boy. I could not walk him without getting dragged like a rag doll. Adam helped me teach him proper obedience and how to actually walk him properly and it was a huge success. I can now take him on walks and he listens so well. And then we got our second boy and started him with basic obedience right away. He unfortunately got attacked as a puppy and is super reactive now and Adam has and still continues to help us with him. And Adam and Carly are the only two people our reactive dog likes outside of my husband, myself and our kids. We have no idea what we would do without their help. The boys board with them EVERY single time we go out of town. We drive 3 hours one way to take them to Adam and Carly and I do not mind because I know they will be in the best hands! I know my boys are safe there and they get excited to go! Forever grateful for their continued support!

Katz K9 is the way to go if you’re looking to board and train your dog! Adam and Carly are kind, professional, trustworthy, & thorough dog trainers. As soon as we had our board and train consultation I knew our pup was going to be in the right hands. We did a 6 week program for our dog, Stevie. Carly kept communication with photos & updates throughout her visit with them. We have a very high energy 5 month old golden, they were able to instill a solid foundation of fundamentals that make communication with our dog so much easier. Our going home session was extremely helpful & insightful, we are looking forward to follow up sessions. I was nervous to leave my dog at first but I am so thankful we did. A solid investment for the family so we can enjoy our obedient pup and be the best owner for her as well.
