Olivia did an amazing job training Dudley. He is a 2 year old that we recently adopted and he had some behavioral issues--fear aggression and being highly reactive were the worst. Dudley is now a complete joy to have in our home. The training gave us the confidence that we can control his reactions in any situation. Before his training we were not able to walk him in our neighborhood because of his reactions to strangers and other dogs. We now take daily strolls that we all enjoy. He now walks at heel position with zero pulling and ignores distractions that would've previously sent him immediately into rage or cowering. Anytime he shows signs of reacting we are able to redirect his attention to us and he is content to ignore everything except us as we continue on our way. This made our already loving bond with Dudley stronger. We can now have guests over without fear. He is a completely different dog post-training and is a delight to have in our lives. Olivia shared daily pics and videos of his progress and communication was a breeze. When she brought him home we all enjoyed our time together as she explained everything about his training and essentially trained us on all of Dudley's progress. We have continued to train him to add to the list of commands that he gladly performs. He is a happy boy and loves to please his humans by doing whatever is asked of him. I have owned dogs all of my life and considered myself capable of training any pup, but Dudley was a challenge and I realized it was beyond my capability. I'm so glad we chose K9! I 100% recommend them to everyone and I will never own another dog who isn't professionally trained. It is absolutely worth the cost.

So my dog blu went for the 5 week training with a woman named Megan. Blu had a few issues and was originally supposed to only be there four weeks, but his trainer decided the extra week would really help him. I decided to pay for the extra week (an extra thousand dollars) so that they would keep the promise of lifetime support. Their process of teaching the dog owner everything the dog learned while in training: One lesson around an hour long. After that, I never heard anything else from his trainer (cause apparently, she quit and no one told me anything about it until I reached out. Blu has been home for over seven months and sadly k9 hasn’t sent anyone out to meet us/help us with any of the issues we are still having. The trainer my dog had, apparently stopped working for k9 right after he left, so they had no one to talk to me about my dog because they had no one who knew my dog! But they never tried to fix that. I expressed to them that I would really appreciate someone to come out and meet us, first off, we need to have someone who knows my dog! I was told the trainer they set me up with was over 3 hours away but she would talk to her manager and see who was available near me. Well, they never sent anyone, no manager has ever called me trying to fix this/figure out what we need. The “trainer” they assigned me goes days without texting back. I was confident in this company but the absolute LACK of support I have received after paying 5 THOUSAND and being promised lifetime support is ridiculous. Please reach out to me and fix this so I can take down this review!

Working with Next-Door K9 Solutions was a great experience! While not having your dog for 4 weeks was rough, Lora delivered a dog that I saw an incredible night and day difference after participating in aggressive dog training. Lora stayed to make sure my wife and I had all the tools necessary to continue my dog's training. Lora also did a great job keeping us posted with videos and pictures weekly. We are eternally grateful. Thank you!

Abby did a phenomenal job with our sweet boy! I have never been a dog owner previously, and I really didn’t know where to start when it came to training. She was able to support him for three whole weeks, and I truly feel like he came back a completely different dog! I can’t believe how much of a difference this made! We are able to go on walks without him pulling, he is able to control his excitement when other people come over, and I feel like he was still able to retain all of the amazing sweet qualities that we love about him! I could not recommend this training highly enough, and if anyone has any questions, feel free to reach out to me and I will be happy to recommend them!

It started out a little discouraging because the assigned trainer was not very communicative. We were then assigned a new trainer, Sam, and she was wonderful! We were able to get a look into how she was progressing and saw videos of her training. She returned to us a different dog. She’s an absolute joy to have around. Very obedient and fantastic in public. I’m actually going to start working on her Canine Goid Citizenship award this week. She will ace it! Thanks Sam!!!
