FirstBarkI loved my experience! Audrey did a fantastic job with training for my puppy. She also did a great job keeping me up to date with how her progress was coming. She sent me photos all the time, which was awesome! Would definitely recommend her to anyone. Thanks!

Our GSD Malinois girl was onboarding for 2 weeks with Audrey who is highly experienced with GSDs so I was comfortable leaving Roxy with her. I was so worried leaving her for 2 weeks, since we have got her little over a year ago we never left her with anyone. Roxy came home well behaved, happy, she was obviously well taken care of and went through great training. We were getting pictures and videos while out of town which made us feel at ease that she's in good hands. Roxy is very intelligent and active and Audrey was able to provide great care and training. After coming home we can even walk off leash with Roxy. It was amazing what she could accomplish in just 2 weeks. Audrey gave us great pointers how to continue training her which was very helpful. I was extremely happy with the care, training and communication and I highly recommend Audrey and Kodiak K9. It was well worth the price paid for the service provided.
I did the 2 week board and train for my 4 year old pup and it was the BEST investment!! We tried another trainer when she was younger and they said they weren’t able to train her - so I was super excited to find a training that worked for her

We were at our wits end with our dog, she was so sweet, but her manners were so bad that we were losing our minds. She was knocking over grandmoms and stealing food, not listening to a thing we said. We did a 3 week board and train with Audrey. Audrey transformed our dog. She is still sweet as can be, but is now perfectly behaved, we are shocked at the difference. Our dog is even behaving when we aren't in the room with her. Audrey was great and in communication (text and videos) with us regularly with progress reports. It was obvious on return that Audrey had actually cared about our dog and not just trained her.
I’m eternally grateful for KodiakK9! Brad was wonderful to work with - professional, kind, and incredibly responsive. You can tell this company truly cares about its clients.
