FirstBarkJust finished 8 weeks of private training for my older Golden who is very reactive. Liz was so knowledgeable and patient with us. She was so good with Mim and sent a detailed email after every class with instructions for what we were to work on during the week. I see such an improvement in Mim's behavior. Liz and Jim were the best! Thank you both so much.

Went above and beyond to help me and excellent service.
I feel like the training was very expensive and did not have the outcome that I was looking for. My major concerns walking on leash and jumping are still major issues- they were not covered.

I can’t say enough good things about Maximum Canine! The difference I’ve seen in my dog, Mila, since training has been incredible. Jimmy was her trainer and did an amazing job with her. He built such a great bond with Mila and really helped me throughout the whole process as well. I’ve seen such a huge change in her and feel so much more confident working with her now. I’m beyond happy with the experience and would absolutely recommend Jimmy and Maximum Canine!

We adopted our standard poodle, Connie, after she had spent time in and out of a foster home and had developed some challenging habits along the way. She was incredibly lovable, but with three children in our home, her excitement and behaviors were making everyday life with her difficult. We decided to send Connie to Maximum K9 for their board and train program, and the difference has been incredible. She came home a dramatically different dog while still being the same sweet, lovable Connie we adore. Our kids can be running around and playing, and we no longer have to worry about her becoming overly excited or difficult to manage. We always knew we wanted Connie to be a happy, comfortable member of our family, and Maximum K9 helped make that possible. Toki, our trainer, was wonderful throughout the entire process. She was thorough, patient, caring, and clearly invested in Connie’s success and in making sure we felt confident continuing her training at home. We are so happy with our experience with Maximum K9 and incredibly grateful for what they did for Connie and our family. We would absolutely recommend them!
