Hailey was a wonderful trainer to both my pup Shadow and myself. Shadow is still a puppy but a large dog so getting him under control was a priority. He is doing amazing due to her guidance.

We tried everything with our dog, Waffles. Around 10 months, he became reactive to just about everything—dogs, people, cars, vacuums. He started playing less and was incredibly anxious going outside. We worked with countless trainers and even a veterinary behaviorist, but it felt like we weren't making any real progress. We decided to give Maximum K9 one final shot, and it was the best decision! Katie completely transformed Waffles. Today, he's able to walk in the park and play in the yard with his brother, which I could have never imagined a few months ago. Katie and the staff here has made such a tremendous difference in his quality of life, and we are so grateful for all of their hard work and patience. They really care, and we cant say enough positive things!!
I had an excellent experience with Morgan she was great at working with my dog. The difference in my dogs behavior has improved greatly.
It was a great experience, Boomer learned so much thanks to his trainer Morgan. Morgan gave very clear, precise instructions which made the process so much easier. We are very thankful to her and so is Boomer.
