Next-Step K9

We dropped off our dog Maulo for the 4-week board and train. He had some people and dog reactivity and we wanted to establish some off leash obedience. We can confidently say that after a month of having Maulo back at home, Isaiah helped address all of his issues and we have noticed significant changes in Maulo’s behavior. It has alleviated stress with having to take our dog into busy public spaces and we love to see increased freedom and quality of life in our dog! Isaiah’s understanding of dog behavior is incredible and his ability to identify issues and quickly correct them has been amazing to witness. So thankful for his dedication to not only our pet but every pet he trains. We are excited for more off leash adventures and improved dog manners!

If you are looking for a great dog trainer.. STOP looking and sign up with Isaiah with Next Step K9 dog training. We did the 5 week board and train program! Which teaches your dog, loose leash walking, sit, down, place, recall, heel and good play. We have a 7 month old GSD/Bellgian Mal mix. She pulled when walking and was very distracted when walking with other dogs, rabbits and birds. It was Night and day change when we got her back. She is like a completely different dog. We can take her in public with out having to worry!! We just have to continue with the training that was implemented by Isaiah!! Thank you so much! Would highly recommend!! If we ever get another dog we are definitely doing this training again! Check out his training videos on FB or IG.

Isaiah was an incredible trainer. He’s super knowledgeable, a true professional, and was an incredible with our dog. There are a variety of class options based on what you’re looking for and what your budget is, and it’s worth every dollar spent. He puts you in real life situations, using his highly trained dogs and distracting environments so your dog gets the most out of its training. I can’t recommend him highly enough and will let everyone I know looking for training to head his way. 10/10-just do it, you’ll have zero regrets and a happy, well behaved and trained dog.

I sent my dog to Next Step K9 for their 4-week board and train program, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the results. Before training, we struggled with leash manners, reactivity, and obedience. After just four weeks, my dog now walks off-leash with full control using the e-collar, listens to every command, and can go out in public without any reactivity. The transformation has been incredible. He’s confident, focused, and obedient—and I feel just as confident handling him. This experience has taken our relationship to the next level. We’re now ready to begin bite work, which wouldn’t have been possible without this foundation. Communication with Next Step K9 was excellent throughout the entire process. They answered all my questions, kept me updated, and gave me the tools I needed to continue the progress at home. I honestly wish I had done this much sooner. If you’re serious about transforming your dog’s behavior, I can’t recommend Next Step K9 enough. They don’t just train dogs—they empower owners and build strong, capable teams.
