Maximum K9 Riverhead

I recently enrolled my 7 month old pup in a three-week board and train program with Nicole at Maximum K9, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results. From the moment I dropped off my dog, I felt confident that Nicole was the perfect trainer for her. Nicole's expertise and passion for dog training were evident from the start. She took the time to thoroughly assess my dog's behavior and needs before tailoring a personalized training plan. Her approach was gentle yet firm, ensuring my dog understood the commands while feeling supported and encouraged throughout the process. Nicole not only trained my dog to follow commands reliably but also taught me valuable techniques for reinforcing her training at home. Nicole's patience and clear instruction made learning easy and enjoyable for both me and my dog and I can confidently say she is my dogs new favorite person! Throughout the three weeks, Nicole provided regular updates on my dog's progress, which eased any concerns I had about leaving my dog for three weeks. By the time I picked up my dog, I could hardly believe the transformation. She was obedient, well-mannered, and clearly very happy, thanks to Nicole's dedication and expertise. Overall, I can't recommend Nicole and the team at Maximum K9 enough. Thanks to her, my dog and I now have a stronger bond and a brighter future together.

The patience, the kindness, the incredible knowledge of Joe and his crew, Maximum K9 is the total package. My boy Finn is the sweetest when he knows you but he has incredible fear reactivity if he doesn’t. He’s worked with Joe the most and the difference between day 1 and today is night and day. Finn’s confidence and trust with Joe has grown so much and he’s learned so much in such a short time of 6-7 training sessions. I’ve already signed him up for more because I believe in what Maximum does 100%. They are a great edition to The Hydrant’s Riverhead family.

Absolutely incredible experience with Maximum K9! They saved our fur-family! We had a very difficult Dane causing chaos in our four-Dane home. Upon meeting Joe, and learning the foundations of their training theory, we continued training with Nicole who was an absolute rock start with our tough Dane. We ALL learned how to better manage our pups behavior and have gained enormous confidence and techniques to start taking him out in public. We can’t thank them all enough for such a life changing experience. We thought we would have to rehome our difficult dog but have now learned how to manage him within the pack. It was such an amazing experience, we have signed up for board and train so our dog can continue his training during an upcoming trip. I recommend Maximum K9 to everyone!!
