PhD canine is the local dog whisperer. The intuitive skills she has are beyond comparison. The ease and comfort I have in myself working with my dogs reflect her confidence in myself and my dogs.

Krystie, Rodney and her team set an amazing foundation for our chocolate lab puppy! After a tearful drop off when he was 9 weeks old for general obedience training, he came back after 4 weeks and was able to walk at heal & loose leash and answers to NO when he gets into puppy shenanigans. They exposed him to other animals and humans so he’s very well socialized, which is huge! He was able to sit and lay down, walks like a champ and doesn’t jump up on people when they approach him. Krystie was always sharing photos/videos & updates on how he was doing during training and after we brought him home was quick to respond and help us troubleshoot during the transition back to our house. I cannot recommend Krystie enough for raising a puppy! She did all of the hard work which takes the stress out of the puppy stage and allows us to enjoy this time vs getting frustrated. Our pup is a calm, cool and collected gentleman of a puppy thanks to Krystie!

I was at my wits end when I called PhD Canine for training. Taking a walk with Seven was a challenge, I would find myself having panic attacks because I knew he’d bark or growl at anyone and anything that he saw.

I was at my wits end when I called PhD Canine for training. Taking a walk with Seven was a challenge, I would find myself having panic attacks because I knew he’d bark or growl at anyone and anything that he saw. PhD helped turn my boy around; a complete 360!! Seven now let’s my 5yr old walk him while on walks. I don’t have to chase her or him, I don’t have to tell him NO or STOP at all!! I am SOOOOOO GLADDDDDDDD Seven had this wonder opportunity of being trained by you all. You guys are truly a blessing! I’d recommend PhD to everyone that has a troubled dog you will LOVE your results.

Krystie and Rodney have been instrumental in helping us with our Doberman Pinscher's training. We did board and train for 4 weeks and they addressed all of our concerns and gave us tools to use right away. They met with us several times, including at a local pet store, to show us his progression. Since training was completed, they've been awesome to answer our questions and help us with how to address a behavior. We also appreciate being able to take our dog there for boarding. They truly care for and have passion for dogs. Thank you Krystie and Rodney!

I’m am beyond pleased with training both of my dogs received while at PhD canine! Kryste and her husband Rodney are fabulous. I have 2 well behaved dogs that do not jump on you when you come into our house and they both sit so nice too. My biggest issue with my dogs before the went for training was pulling on the leash while walking and my little dog Nala was the worst, but now I can walk them both on a loose leash and if they get to far ahead a quick little tug on the leash and they both fall back to walking at my side. If I stop they stop and sit til you say walk again! AMAZING- could not be more pleased with results and they come when asked as well!! They go on there climbs and sit there til you release them!! I’m beyond pleased with my results and would highly recommend Kryste and her husband Rodney to anyone who needs training for there dogs!! Can not say enough great things about there training and how genuinely they care about your dogs. Excellent results, always are in communication with you about your dogs progress and they do a half point trading to show you how things are going and to see if there is other trading needed. Best experience ever!! You get great results for a terrific price too!
